Queen Elizabeth’s day‘ is a real working day

By DOROTHY LAIRD Scottish author and journalist who has written six books on the Royal Family

Although Queen Elizabeth 11 has made no tremendous a n d eye-catching changes from the way of life of her father in the twelve years since she came to the throne—she re- appointed his whole Household. blending them with her own small House- hold— she moves with the tim- es. and small changes are con- stantly taking place in the pat- tern of her day.

The increasing number of in- dependent countries in the Com- monwealth. the i n c re a s in range and scope of travel made possible by modern communi- cations. the multiplying stress of modern public affairs, all make the Queen's day e ven more crowded and busy th s n that of her predecessors.

All day and every day. where- ever she is. she is followed by a stream of official boxes (known as “red boxes". though they may be of any colour and any

In

shape) in which official Govern- ment papers and documents go to her from all the principal Government departments in Britain and other — Common- wealth countries. HOUSEHOLD DUTIES

Tiie Queen seldom spends less than two hours. and often as much as five or six hours a day at her desk. It was her father's desk. and when she looks up from sometimes troubling and frequently dull but important papers which she has to read, she sees flowers (her favourites are pink carnationsi. and photo- graphs of her family.

Her mail is heavy. but 5 h e sees it all before it goes to her secretaries for sorting. There are many more invitations than can possibly be accepted. Plans of forthcoming tours must be gone through in detail. and pos- sible hitches anticipated smoothed away.
