THE Queen

is having trouble attracting people of the right calibre for top jobs. After her reign, most will be replaced by Prince Charles’s candidates. The royals aren’t sentimental. The Queen Mother’s faithful servant ‘Backstairs’ Billy Tallon thought he’d still have a roost at Clarence House after she died aged 101. After 50plus years of service, he ended up in a small flat in south London, dying aged 72 six years later.
