...goes. The seven Prime Ministers who have served her have attested to her impressive grasp of state affairs. Despite the rigid order of palace life, she has tried in small ways to make the monarchy a bit more modern socially-with her walkabouts, for example, or by substituting relatively egalitarian garden parties for the stratified debutante balls...
