It wasn't meant to be nasty, floo, I read it many years ago at work. It wasjust gentle joshing about the appearance of the royal pair going about their day time duties, visiting places and meeting people, the Queen always neat and hatted with handbag rather like a middle class lady at a wedding. Lots of people commented on the ordinariness of her dress but her working clothes had to be unostentatious and comfortable. When dressed up for a big occasion she was quite different!
Nobody would think of saying things like that about her now but it was never vicious.

I do remember that as a student in the mid seventies, the CPGB students would hold up the 1969 film "The Royal Family" as an example of ultimate embourgeoisement, in that the ultimate ruling family of the Upper Class had been turned into an ordinary Bourgeois family.
