Tantamount to treason

Good lord, doesn't the Queen deserve a bit of a break? Don't get me wrong, I'm as Republican as can be, but even compared to what happened to the Romanovs the Royal Variety line-up this year seems a little harsh. Liz and Phil are going to have to sit through Enrique Inglesias, Bon Jovi and James Blunt. Who put that lot together? Al-Fayed?
