Geoffrey, along with his wife Jane and a few other famous Aussies, were invited to lunch with our Queen as part of her tour of Australia.

In that latter one, I could just image the Queen saying to Geoffrey: 'You did wonders with Colin Firth, what can you do for Philip?' It's a well known fact he suffers from a chronic case of 'Foot in Mouth'!
