Re: Royal snub for sir Edmund Hillary ?

I think you are suffering from a bad case of homeland nostalgia.
Attitudes to the royal family have changed over the 54 years since Everest was climbed. We have a more cosmopolitan and multi-racial society here now, and a growing majority couldn't give two hoots what the royals do, (except those of us who realise we are paying them)
