Why doesn't the queen attend anymore?
ReplyDeleteShe's old. The Royal Variety Performance has a lot of young, modern artists. I don't think the Queen enjoys it as much as she did when she was younger. And I think they like having someone young and cool attend the event as the show is trying to attract a young audience.
DeleteOk thanks!
