In through the out door at Buckingham Palace – changing of the old guard – Prince Andrew, Duke of Cambridge loses his position as Britain’s business envoy while Kate Middleton’s wedding gown goes on public display. The old royals are replaced with the new, younger and as yet untainted versions. The show must go on. These are Her Majesty’s courts, her army, her government… so there has to be royalty whether the royals themselves want it or not.
