I submit the following joke.  I first heard it well before Diana became a princess (possibly on ''Dave Allen at Large'') but it still applies to this subject.  I've heard DavidLetterman cite it via OrphanedPunchline a few times lately.
->The Queen and Princess Di are out for a Sunday drive. They are pulled over by bandits who demand their jewelry. When they see they aren't wearing any, the bandits just take their Bentley and drive off.
->As the Queen and Di are walking back to Buckingham Palace, the Queen says, "Diana, dear thing, I know when we left the Palace this morning you were wearing your wedding ring. Where is it?"
->Diana replied, "Mum, when I saw those terrible men coming, I hid it in my privates. By the way, I could have sworn that you were wearing your tiara when we left this morning."
->The Queen says, "Yes, I was. But when I saw those bad men, I did the same thing you did with your ring."
->After they walk in silence for about a mile, the Queen starts laughing.
->Diana is surprised. "Mum, this is a terrible situation, how can you be laughing?"
->"Well," says her Majesty, stifling a giggle, "I was just thinking. If Princess Margaret had been with us, we could have saved the Bentley."
