“While the world altered dramatically during the course of her reign, the monarchy did too, though rather more imperceptibly: the walkabouts that increasingly characterised royal appearances, the pop concerts at Buckingham Palace, the throwing open⟳ of the royal palaces to visitors – even the paying of income tax, and royal podcasts – would have⟳ been inconceivable as innovations at the time Elizabeth came to the throne.”
