 Queen cancels Belgium trip to visit Iraq blitz victims 14 Mar 2003 The Queen's planned trip to Belgium was yesterday postponed because of the possibility of a war with Iraq. According to palace officials, who were acting on advice from Downing Street, it would be "in the country's best interests" if Her Majesty and Prince Phillip stayed at home. This was immediately interpreted by some as a slur on the prince's renowned ability to speak diplomatically to people abroad, but Buckingham Palace insists that that is not the case. "There is absolutely no suggestion that Her Majesty's trip has been cancelled so that her husband doesn't put his foot in it with the Belgians," said one source close to the family, but not close enough to steal anything from them. "Both the government and the royal family agree that it would be better for the Queen to remain in Britain during this time of international crisis." Royal watchers are beginning to spot similarities with the Second World War. "Then it was suggested that the King and Queen should be evacuated to somewhere safe, but they stayed behind and the late Queen Mother in particular was instrumental in comforting victims of the Blitz," said a man in a tree near Windsor Castle. "Perhaps Her Majesty intends to follow in her mother's footsteps and comfort victims of this war on the home front." Buckingham Palace said in response that, as yet, no plans had been drawn up for the Queen to visit bombed out slums in east London after air-raids by Iraqi bombers, but that in the event of such an attack she would "probably pop round".
