The New York Times reports on an upcoming (June 6-8) conference at Kensington Palace, The Making of a Monarchy for the Modern World. One of the speakers is Maya Jasanoff, with whom I had a brief cordial exchange when she was a guest of the local NPR station in Dallas to promote her excellent book Liberty's Exiles. The event looks fascinating, and I will be attending!
Today is my last full day in the United States before leaving for London for the Diamond Jubilee, which should be a unique and unforgettable experience. St Paul's Cathedral have released the Order of Service for the National Service of Thanksgiving to be celebrated there a week from today.
