To celebrate, everyone is getting spiffed up: the president has set aside his denim for white tie and tails, and the hats at the Derby were even more ridiculous than usual. Everywhere she goes Americans are lining up for the chance to catch a glimpse of Her Majesty, handbag and all.

Though I'm fairly ambivalent about the Royals, I understand the instinct to make some sort of pilgrimage...
