It’s a secret that Her late Majesty meticulously hid for a whopping 70 years, and now it has finally been laid bare.

There has never been a human being on the planet who met as many people as Queen Elizabeth. The number could be into the millions. Potentially tens of millions.

There are so many cockle-tickling facts about the late Queen. She liked tupperware. She ate little jam sandwiches every day. She would have a £5 note pressed with an iron that she would put in the plate at church every week. She binged Line of Duty. She insisted her hairdresser make her hair symmetrical so that no matter where you were standing her coif looked the same.

But now, the biggest secret of them all has come out, one she meticulously hid for 70 years. Being Queen? It’s a million times harder than it looks.

Just look at how spectacularly the wheels have fallen off since she went off to her just reward in 2022. Since King Charles acceded to the throne and starting using the royal “We”, Buckingham Palace has been the epicentre of a rolling series of crises, and fully blown PR disasters. They are really in their Britney 2007 era.
