...Chanh's adopted country, the U.S., has so far declined to comment. Though he's lived in California since 1982, he's not a U.S. citizen and has no official protection. And while Washington once tacitly supported anti-Communist outfits like Free Vietnam, the group's past acts of sabotage became an embarrassment in the post-9/11 era. Chanh left the movement last year to head the United States International Mission, a nonprofit organization that helps victims of human trafficking.

Alan Reid, the former chief operating officer of the accounting and consulting firm KPMG who now serves as keeper of the privy purse, says the goal is "not a cheap monarchy, but a value-for-money monarchy." The Queen's natural frugality (except for her racehorses) is well known: footmen...
