Read spiked editor Mick Hume in The Times (London), 4 November 2002:

After Paul Burrell’s trial, many have asked how the apparent monarchist triumph of the summer’s Buckingham Palace concerts and parade could have so quickly turned to disaster. There is no real mystery. The fiasco is a result of an unhappy modern marriage; not that between Charles and Diana, but the one between the traditional role of the Sovereign as head of state and symbol of the law, and the new ‘popular’ monarchy.
