This cartoon by Paul Thomas from The Daily Express is inspired by the Queen's visit to a caravan manufacturer in Bristol yesterday as part of a tour of the city.

The cartoon shows the Queen being driven in the back of the campervan (or motorhome). She comments, "I don't doubt that it's cheaper—but I'll stick with the Bentley ...", the Bentley state limousine being the Queen's usual mode of road transport.
NOTE
The letters ER on the front of the campervan stand for Elizabeth Regina, Latin for Elizabeth Queen.
VOCABULARY
