The Role of Royal Tea (or How Monarchs Stay Relevant)

We are talking about Royalty today, or should I say Royal Tea? Uh, sorry, we had to pun. But really, it works on both levels, because we do have to pause every now and then and ask ourselves, what is the importance of Royal tea in our modern times? And if you take a step back, you can really start to see the importance the gossip machine plays in keeping monarchs relevant. It’s a love/hate relationship on both sides, with few real winners, but oh my, is it fascinating!
