We are fed a constant drip feed of "royal news" oh look someone's wearing a jumper similar to those in Primark, oh look someone has a pink frock on, oh look someone actually opened the car door themselves.

I doubt if a single day has passed in the 70 years ER2 has been on the throne when at least one main story in the media has not been about one of the dysfunctional lot.

Sadly the coverage works.
