@Leslie Poston: I just took the time to look up what I was hinting at in my previous comment. It was in 1995 that Buckingham Palace announced the end of the BBC monopoly and it took effect in ’97. That’s recent to me. It was a bit of a shock to many people. The BBC wanted to air an interview with Diana and Buckingham Palace took execption. If you missed the stories, they’re worth looking up. Anyway, your article is good and well written.

If you read the full article you’ll see I covered those points fully.

It seems like the Royals are slighting the BBC. If I remember correctly, there was some friction in recent years regarding the Christmas message. The Beeb has acted arogantly in the past and has been a little out of line with their iPlayer lately as well. That may be part of the story as well as the granddaughters’ influence.

Queen Elizabeth is referred to as Her Majesty, and not as Her Royal Highness. HRH is used for her children and some other members of the Royal family.
