Just look at Beckham’s ‘ I can’t believe I’m here’ smile as he and Victoria join the Royal Family for the State Banquet tonight at Buckingham Palace. Good for them. Forget the Knighthood, just give him a Dukedom. The Duke and Duchess of Leytonstone should cover it.

Tina Brown: The queen has mystique. In an era of over sharing that’s a rare quality. 70 years in the public eye but we still don’t know what she thinks. Kate has that mystique too. She smiles through it all but we don’t know what she thinks. There’s a Mona Lisa quality to her

One is an American network. It correctly uses the name and title of a British Royal. The other is a British outlet which consistently and persistently calls her by her maiden name. She’s trending on X as the ‘Princess of Wales’ so the algorithm argument isn’t the reason.
