A diamond of monarchs
THE secret is out. Even as far back as the days of the Romans they had worked out how important it was for the ruling elders to be surrounded by more youthful, vigorous, supporters.
This age-old maxim could be seen to be alive and well now with the superb pictures of the Queen and the Duchess of Cambridge sitting together watching a series of events for the Jubilee celebrations in Nottingham.
There can be little doubt that Her Majesty has striven to ensure she is seen at as many events as possible in this special year.
The fact she is so radiantly happy in the company of a girl decades younger speaks volumes for her remarkable fortitude.
She is truly a diamond of monarchs.
