There is something schizophrenic in the people's wish to have a more "approachable" monarchy and then despise them when they behave like everybody else. As pointed out by the queen in this episode, the monarchy must remain a bit detached from reality. After all, the "people" did not love Diana for being normal, but for being "special"...
This episode is also funny, presenting Blair at his top popularity (King Tony) and some of the most bizarre "jobs" done for the crown. My favourite was the Swans Master, or whatever the title was.
Well made and entertaining and finally out of the shadow cast by Diana.
