It's not every marriage that can last 60 years, but Elizabeth and Philip Windsor-Mountbatten aren't exactly the folks next door.
The Royal Couple celebrates their Diamond Anniversary on November 20 with a surprising lack of fanfare: no parades, no fireworks, no celebrity gala. Instead, the (presumably still) happy couple will revisit Westminster Abbey and then spend the evening bowling with friends, followed by a stop at the local for boilermakers and crisps (with the first round on Liz and Phil, of course), then it's back to the Palace for a quick round of Pictionary.
Everything stops at 9:00, though, when it's time for I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Those close pals lucky enough to be invited to the sleepover that follows might be stumped on what to get the Royals; after all, with a personal fortune of $500 million (not to mention that £10 billion art collection), there's not much they don't already have.
But we think we've found the perfect gift for a storybook couple -- and one
we're almost positive they don't own -- yet. Happy Anniversary, Your Highnesses!
