BobL	Poems of A.A.Milne Set to Music/Christopher Robin (118* d)	RE: Poems of A.A.Milne Set to Music/Christopher Robin	15 Oct 21
Why guess? It's straight historical fact! The first poems (including "Buckingham Palace") were published in 1924 when George V was on the throne. We substitute "queen" for "king" in the National Anthem and elsewhere when referring to the current monarch, but I'd argue that in this poem the change would be anachronistic, not to mention buggering up some of the rhymes. Although the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace still goes on today in very much the same way.
