: The Queen adds to stdture with modernizing influence

3! mm PEACOCKD when works include “The Story I Buckingham Palace" and “no we of Queen Mary"

Queen Elizabeth II! has prov- ed herself to be a modern mon- arch with a respect for tradi- tion but not for outdated cus- toms. In the process of modern- ising the monarchy she has pre- served the ty and colour- ful pageantry of the more impor- tant State occasions. because this represents a heritage great- ly valued not only by her. but also by the majority of her peo-

In other respects court life as been greatly simplified. while the Queen and her h band have brought the private life of the Royal Family as far as possible into line with that of other households in Britain.

are have been adapted to enable the Queen and the Duke of Ed- inburgh to invite a much more representative selection of guests fish was customary in the past.

From time to time they give informal parties to which they invite members of national or- ganizations (the guests usually being chosen by ballot of the membership) or delegates to conferences meeting in London. They regularly give small semi- official lunch and dinner par- ties, choosing as their guests those who have made some sig- nificant contribution to national or Commonwealth life but who hold no appointment which would qualify them for inclus- ion in the official invitation lists. In this way they meet writers. Jartists. sportsmen. social work- : ers and others who would not. in Iformer times. have attended lcourt functions.

The traditional methods of en-I

tertaining at Buckingham Pal-

were sum-

tsy to her as they passed rapid succession before the royal dais.

Characteristically. the Queen felt that a ceremony which pro- vided no opportunity for her to exchange a single word with those presented to her, and for which only a limited number of people was eligible. was out of keeping with the times. The end of presentation parties has been followed by an increase in the number of more democratic and leg formal receptions at which Commonwealth visitors are as ually much in evidence.

LONG WORKING DAY

The Queen has a long working day which begins early and of- ten continues until late at night. She has inherited all her fath- er’s love of thoroughness in ev- erything which she does. The reading and signing of State pa- pers forms an important part of her constitutional duties and keeps hen occupied at her desk for many hours a day.

Throughout most of the year she Is in residence at Bucking- ham Palace. T‘ie latter oart of the morning is usually allocated to official audiences. which are on of the many ways by which he keeps In close touch with
