Royal watchers dissect who made the cut and who did not
Palace Garden Party Guest List Leaked, Etiquette Experts Faint Gracefully
A partial guest list from this summers garden party has made its way into circulation, and Central London is currently divided into two camps, those who were invited and those loudly pretending they did not want to be.
Royal commentators are treating the list like a state document, cross referencing names against old feuds, new titles and at least one divorce that everybody agreed not to mention out loud. Etiquette experts describe the seating logistics alone as a small miracle of diplomacy, delivered with cucumber sandwiches.
Whatever else changes about the monarchy, the guest list remains the one document Britain still takes deadly seriously. More royal reporting from Isla Campbell at The London Prat.
