Letter from London

For Orléans Read Altrincham

Lord Altrincham’s brash attack on the Queen and her court was most gratefully received by harassed editors searching for a breath of news in the summer doldrums. They reprinted the offending article; they published interviews with Lord Altrincham; they photographed him being assaulted in the street; they found a couple of irate old peers to say that Altrincham should be shot and a wild young Marquis to say that he too thought the Queen’s voice was a pain in the neck.
