Queen Elizabeth II bemoaned her own lack of job prospects in an address to the nation today.

On the day she officially became Britain’s longest reigning Monarch, Queen Elizabeth II appeared to be maudlin over her job position.

“One doesn’t like to complain,” the Queen started, “but one has been in the same job for over sixty years. One’s job has little to no promotion prospects and one’s pay rises have been triffling at best. More respect needs to be given.”

Indeed Queen Elizabeth II only received an 18% pay rise in 2015, an increase of £2.4 million in her salary. And she has still yet to be promoted to the higher title of King.

To help improve the mood of the Queen, the nation gathered round to play a collection of the world’s smallest violins just for her.

The tune? ‘God Save The Queen’ of course.
