...agreed to do away with primogeniture (in which the eldest son receives the title in favor of an older daughter)--not that the move affects her son or grandson. In April she hosted a star-studded, 650-guest party at Windsor Castle attended by Joan Collins and Trainspotting star Ewan McGregor--the sort of celebrity fest that has become a staple of 10 Downing Street in the Blair era. Photographers may now take pictures of Her Majesty at work several times a week. There is even an impressive palace website, complete with family trees, royal engagement calendars (the popular Princess...
