We've been up to see HRH Queen Elizabeth's latest news update (as we usually do each morning) and we've shockingly seen no mention of the free gold-plated Wii that THQ apparently delivered to Buck House.

Says THQ, the Wii is "Finished in gold" and was "specially commissioned for the Royal Family".

Finished in gold? This is for HRH The Royal Queen Elizabeth II of England and pertaining regions! Why isn't it made out of solid gold... with better graphics output?!

Apparently, the Von Windsors, "As the UK's ultimate family, the Royals also received one of the first copies of THQ's BIG Family Games to road-test their shiny new console."

Seriously?

We bet that Liz, the grandkids and Prince Philip will have the game ready for the visit of the British National Party's Nick Griffin when he pops in for the garden party in June. Or maybe Prince Phil - a Greek by birth - will take Griffin on at Punch Out!?
