Монархия уходит. От нее почти уже ничего не осталось, мир безнадежно современен, а королевы и их дворцы с каждым днем все больше принадлежат прошлому. Ах, какая беда! Что же будет с вечными ценностями? С непреходящими ценностями. С универсальными ценностям – вот как кук… то есть, Ее Величество. Но ничего-ничего, пока стоит Букингемский дворец, нам есть, где искать успокоения от нашей безумной жизни. Еще сэр Конан Дойль занимался книжечками для библиотеки тамошнего кук… ах, что же это, для библиотеки ее величества, конечно. Время идет, а монархия по-прежнему сообщает, как дела в Букингемском дворце, куда поехала королева и что нового. А весь мир читает и радуется.
