Introduction

The writer and film maker jonathan meads will read the piece he wrote on the windsors earlier this year, a review of tina brown's book, the palace papers. It appeared in the lab at the time of queen elizabeth's platinum jubilee in june, under the headline, hatpin through the brain. The queen's jubilee has now been thoroughly eclipsed by her death. Have your views changed at all since you wrote the piece, jonathan or intensified? And they have changed in a way which i think was not predictable.
