The queen is head of state, a ceremonial role that carries no political weight.
You think the Queen has no political weight? The QUEEN?
She may not have official power but to say she has no political weight is ridiculous.
And since a lot of her responsibilities include her acting as sort of an Ambassador of Goodwill etc she or her representatives and the rest of the Royal Family travel quite a bit, in which case, appearances have to be kept, so they HAVE to stay in at a certain standard of accommodations.
And I believe they are talking about Obamas little vacations.
It's not apples and oranges at all.
