Sounds like a winner to me.
Precisely kids don't have a clue what Royalty are - they are brainwashed by the media circus that presents them as pop-stars or celebrities which is why the Punk statment "God Save the Queen" was an important event.

I got a good view of the Queen and her hubbie back in 2005 in St James Pk as they went passed in their motor - the crowds had thined out on her way back. Also I went to Buckingham Palace and shook hands with Prince Edward.
