Does the Queen employ a jester to accompany her on state banquets, cheer her up and entertain her guests?

Question

I'd love to see her laugh hysterically at zaniness like the kings of old

Answer 1

His name is Prince Phillip.  He tells the funniest jokes and gets lambasted in the press for being non-politically correct.  He is the patron saint of the anti-political correctness movement.

  

Huzzah!

Answer 2

Of course. This is still medieval Britain.

Answer 3

Did you Know that if you dial 118 118 ask for buckingham palace, they will give you the number, then you can ask them for yourself...uk

Answer 4

Absolutely!

Answer 5

No need, she has Philip!

Answer 6

Seriously, the tradition of hiring a court jester came to the end upon the overthrow of Charles I in 1649.  After the Interregnum (during which time England was a Republic under the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell), Charles II didn't reinstate the king's fool upon his Restoration.
