The Queen’s cousin
By Mick Krever & Juliet Fuisz, CNN
Queen Elizabeth II and her cousin, Margaret Rhodes, were born just a few months apart.

“Not terribly,” she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday, exploding with laughter. “Well, you know, everybody has babies, and it’s lovely. I don’t get wildly excited about it.”
“Really?” Amanpour asked, not even for the next heir to the throne? “History?”
“Yes, all right, I’m prepared to be excited,” Rhodes relented with a smile.

“Second chances are rare in any country,” U.S. Deputy Secretary of State William Burns said in Cairo on Monday, after meeting with the interim leader, Adly Mansour.
