			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/barack_lead.jpg" alt="barack_lead" title="barack_lead" width="625" height="367" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-26111" /><br />
<em><font size="1"> Obama is in Queen Elizabeth’s ear. Pause, with a royal whee.</font></em></p>
<p>Nothing says “I don’t want to be ruled by you, but thanks for being a friend” like an iPod, which is why President <strong>Barack Obama</strong> gave one to England’s <strong>Queen Elizabeth II</strong> during a private meeting at Buckingham Palace. The iPod was loaded with video and photos from the 82-year-old bird’s various trips to the U.S., as well as showtunes. Pretty lame, though not as lame as the Elizabeth giving the Obamas a signed photograph in a silver frame—the same gift she gives all visiting dignitaries. </p>
<p>Diplomacy and an aide’s questionable taste no doubt dictated the contents of the iPod. But we&#8217;re sure that the playlist would be a hell of a lot cooler and more meaningful had Obama put it together himself. <strong>It would probably sound a little something like this…</strong><br />
<span id="more-25999"></span><br />
<strong><font color="red">“U.N.I.T.Y.” by Queen Latifah</strong></font><br />
<br />
“We know you’re just a figurehead, Lizzy, so please thank whoever actually makes the decisions on your wee island for sticking by us in Iraq. We couldn’t have launched an ass-backwards invasion without you!”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">&#8220;Inglan Is a Bitch,&#8221; by Linton Kwesi Johnson</strong></font><br />
<br />
“By ‘bitch’ we mean down-ass bitch. Now go pour us another cup o’ tea. And don’t dawdle with the biscuits.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">&#8220;Diamonds and Pearls,&#8221; by Prince</strong></font><br />
<br />
“We just always wanted to bless the royal family with our jewels.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">&#8220;Baby Got Back,&#8221; by Sir Mix-A-Lot</strong></font><br />
<br />
“Best. Knighting. Ever.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">“Soul by the Pound,” by Common</strong></font><br />
<br />
“Trade some of your robust currency for our genuine soul music? Or you could just keep on gobbling up that watered down, blue-eyed twink shite your country produces.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">“(That Body Built For) Sin,” by Size Queen</strong></font><br />
<br />
“Oh sorry, we thought Helen Mirren was the Queen of England.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">“Hound Dog,” by Elvis Presley, a.k.a. the King</strong></font><br />
<br />
“On second thought, we could go for some of your royal crown. The accent gets us every time.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">&#8220;The Ruler&#8217;s Back,&#8221; by Slick Rick</strong></font><br />
<br />
“We’ve heard that the thought of ruling over American colonies again puts you in the mood. It’d better, ’cause we don’t go for no half-assed crown.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">“Love Reign O’er Me,” by the Who</strong></font><br />
<br />
“And if you’re lucky we’ll sprinkle you with loose seeds from our amber waves of grain.”</p>
<p><strong><font color="red">&#8220;Independent,&#8221; by Webbie</strong></font><br />
<br />
“Understand: We won’t be ruled again, so don’t be surprised when we skeet and retreat.”</p>

		<description><![CDATA[This trio of international stunners proves that royalty isn't all gangly inbreeds.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/princesses_main1.jpg' alt='princesses_main1.jpg' /><br />
Earlier this week, Forbes <a href="http://www.forbes.com/businessbillionaires/2008/05/23/royals-celebrity-monarchs-biz-billies-cz_ls_0527royals.html" target="_blank">unveiled</a> their list of &#8220;The 20 Hottest Young Royals,&#8221; which was predictably dominated by Britain&#8217;s gangly group of redheaded princes and princesses. But farther down the list, there are some royal ladies that could definitely get it. </p>
<p>Think about it&#39;what would be hotter than slipping away from the palace for an ellicit affair with one of the world&#8217;s most overprotected young things? After the jump, read about which three we&#8217;d give the crown to.<br />
<span id="more-13165"></span><br />
<img align="left" src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/princesses_1.jpg' alt='princesses_1.jpg' /><strong>NAME</strong>: Charlotte Casiraghi<br />
<br />
<strong>AGE</strong>: 21<br />
<strong>COUNTRY</strong>: Morocco<br />
<strong>OFFICIAL TITLE</strong>: Daughter of HSH Princess Caroline<br />
<br />
When your grandmother is American actress Grace Kelly, you&#8217;ve got genes working in your favor. Charlotte has become a paparazzi favorite with her hipster fashion sense and party-hopping tendencies. While not &#8220;technically&#8221; titled a &#8220;princess,&#8221; she is fourth in line for the throne.</p>
<p><img align="left" src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/princesses_2.jpg' alt='princesses_2.jpg' /><strong>NAME</strong>: Sirivannavari Nariratana<br />
<br />
<strong>AGE</strong>: 20<br />
<strong>COUNTRY</strong>: Thailand<br />
<strong>OFFICIAL TITLE</strong>: HRH Princess<br />
<br />
This daughter of Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn has started to create a name for herself as a fashion designer, debuting a collection at last year&#8217;s Paris fashion week, where she hobnobbed with Karl Lagerfeld. She also won a gold medal for badminton at the 2006 Southeast Asian games, which means she knows how to handle a shuttlecock.</p>
<p><img align="left" src='http://www.complex.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/princesses_3.jpg' alt='princesses_3.jpg' /><strong>NAME</strong>: Sikhanyiso Dlamini<br />
<br />
<strong>AGE</strong>: 20<br />
<strong>COUNTRY</strong>: Swaziland<br />
<strong>OFFICIAL TITLE</strong>: Princess</p>
<p>This daughter of King Mswati III of Swaziland is part of Africa&#8217;s last monarchy. She&#8217;s most famous for being beaten after she hosted a wild party and got drunk in the Queen&#8217;s crib just before a traditional Swazi ceremony back in 2005. Now, she attends college in California while trying to jumpstart her hip-hop career under her rapper name, Pashu.<br />
