*Frank Skinner, Queen!

Department sent to: "Denmark's Leading Lady" Dept

Hi there Frank,

I hope you don't mind me writing to you, I've just got back from a weekend in Denmark and have something that I reckon you may find very amusing, or maybe not, I do seem to find amusement in a blank piece of paper sometimes, and I don't mean the ones with PTO on both sides, although I do admit that kept me going for hours last time!

Anyhow, we were meeting someone in a hotel in Aarhus and I was looking at the paintings on the wall when I spied one that has more than a passing resemblance to your good self, so I had to take a picture of it (see attached), how about that eh! I think it's uncanny!

This delightful Mrs Frank is actually Queen Margrethe II, Queen of Denmark. I've tried to find out a bit about her and did you know...

Queen Margrethe has a reputation for being one of Europe's most modern and progressive monarchs. She openly grants television interviews, and is fond of casual public appearances. She is also known for being a chain-smoker.

How about that eh! They also say she's a bit of painter, so maybe this isn't actually her at all but instead she's smitten with a English comedian from the black country! Who knows, she may even be wearing a West Brom shirt under that get up, you never know!

Anyhow, hope you enjoy the photo, I think it's classic!

Marvellous,

Vince.

P.S. as the photo quality isn't great, I've put it on the Internet...

Dear Vince

Thank you for your letter to Frank Skinner and for sending in the copy of the painting. How hilarious! We've all had a good giggle in the office at the resemblance.

We hope you had a great time in Denmark and send our best wishes.

Yours sincerely

Jenny Sawyer
Assistant to Frank Skinner
