I'm So You Want to Go to a Real Party?

When the Queen is at Balmoral and Prince Charles wants to walk the grounds, he first makes sure his mother is alerted through her private secretary. If Prince Philip wants to have lunch with his wife, he sends a message to her office via a page. And she sends one back to him with her reply. There's all this weird protocol that the servants at Balmoral are sort of they're not supposed to be seen by any of the royal people like they're supposed to be invisible. God, no wonder all the British country house media is about murder because otherwise it's so much more depressing.
