 * I've copyedited the hooks the Queen --> Queen Elizabeth because, much as I think she's a dear old gal, there are other queens, and MOS calls for this (at least, I think it does -- correct me if I'm wrong). Or how about


 * ALT2:... that Sir Mark Palmer, First Page of Honour and a godson of Queen Elizabeth II, led a band of New Age travellers who moved about in horse-drawn caravans?

 * I'd suggest specifying which Queen Elizabeth we are talking about, i.e. calling her Queen Elizabeth II. Her mother was also Queen Elizabeth, and I've seen such quirky hooks on DYK that I first thought this Queen Elizabeth would turn out to be the 16th-century Queen Elizabeth I. Anyway, the article is new and long enough. I have not detected any copyright violations, but the claim that Palmer was the First Page of Honour is not supported by an inline citation, so I cannot approve the hook.

These hooks are fine, but on reviewing the article I wonder if we can't do better... I mean, there's Eton, the waifish coverboys, and Christine Keeler -- can we work in the third man somehow? Just if someone wants to dig a little. EEng (talk) 14:40, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
