Reining in jet-black steed; Rangle for her falcon. Repugnant mudslinging, Risible in content, Rankled those in the know. Recent loss of soulmate; Ravens smudge the teal sky. ____________________________________________________ GLOSSARY Queen Elizabeth II had a good seat, and her love of horses is well documented. [Edited] Throughout the ages, falconry has been considered the sport of kings. In falconry, ‘rangle’ is a term used for small stones which are fed to hawks to aid in digestion. The exposé led by her grandson, Prince Harry, had divided a nation—a number of assertions made, have been proven to be false. Queen Elizabeth II lost her husband on 9 April 2021, whom she had viewed as her soulmate. A group of at least six captive ravens are resident at the Tower of London. Their presence is traditionally believed to protect The Crown and the Tower; a superstition holds that "if the Tower of London ravens are lost or fly away, the Crown will fall and Britain with it."
