Her Majesty is sharp as a tack!  None of this subterfuge from grocery 
stores gets by her highness.  She knows damn well they are only 
interested in collecting her valuable royal data.

I think she should employ a secret agent to make all her royal 
purchases. There would be no trace of her Majesty ... Just some strange 
guy with a mustache wearing a trench coat, buying shit at a dataw 
grocery store!
