Well, to be fair, IIRC her character was actually supposed to be a Yank (or is that Yankess? Yankette?), so I don't think she ever actually did attempt to speak Real English. Or if she did, then only in a way that was internally consistent with the story: This visiting Yank(-ess/-ette/WTFE) would be fully expected to make a hash of it.

Otherwise, Her Majesty is of course perfectly correct and reasonable on every count, and an incredibly generous offer it is that she's making.
