YOUR Alexa now has a quiz that can reveal your royal credentials.
In celebration of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee this week, you can find out exactly how royal you are.
Sunday, June 5, will mark the Queen’s 70 years of service as the British Monarch.
Millions of Brits will enjoy two days off as national holidays on Thursday and Friday.
And you might want to spend a few moments of that leisure time with Alexa.
Starting from today, you can now ask: “Alexa, how royal am I?”
You’ll then be asked a series of questions to work out if you could pass for a royal.
These might include revealing the name of the Queen’s first corgi, the number of Prime Ministers she’s met, or her favourite football team.
“The Jubilee is a unique and historic occasion, and I’m sure it’s got many Brits across the country questioning whether they could live the royal life themselves,” said royal expert Jennie Bond.
“I’m lucky enough to have spent a fair bit of time around the royal family, so I know exactly what it takes to keep the company of those in Buckingham Palace.
“I’m so glad to have passed on my wisdom to Alexa – and now Brits everywhere can take the quiz to find out how royal they are.”
If you’re not savvy to the intricacies of the monarchy, you can use it as a chance to scrub up on your knowledge.
There are also plenty of Alexa-friendly questions to ask that will help you revise:
- Alexa, should I put cream or jam on a scone first?
- Alexa, what’s the correct way to pronounce scone?
- Alexa, what’s the correct way to hold a cup of tea?
- Alexa, how does one have afternoon tea like the Queen?
- Alexa, what’s the correct way to stir a cup of tea?
- Alexa, what’s the correct way to eat sandwiches during afternoon tea?
“When I started as a young chef at Buckingham Palace, it was fascinating to see how important afternoon tea was to the Queen,” said Darren McGrady, the Queen’s former chef.
“So it’s a pleasure to be able to share my expertise of the tradition through Alexa. In my experience the Queen enjoys a full afternoon tea of sandwiches and pastries.
“Two types of sandwiches, often English York ham with English mustard and cucumber, with the skin removed and sent to the royal cellars for Pimm’s garnish.”
Here are some more royal questions you can ask Alexa:
- Alexa, how do I pronounce scone?
- Alexa, how old is the Queen?
- Alexa, how many corgis does the Queen have?
- Alexa, does the Queen need a passport?
- Alexa, when did Queen Elizabeth marry Prince Philip?
