Jasper FfordeHer majesty is one verb short of a sentence.
About This Quote
A sentence that has no verb is called a "her majesty." I don't think it needs to be taken literally. There is no verb missing, but it is simply a play on words. For example, I don't think that the sentence "She's old enough to drive" is grammatically correct.
