A small paragraph in the paper tells a story which I find strangely touching.
To quote it in full:
Condoleezza Rice, The US Secretary of State, played the piano at Buckingham Palace, accompanied by Louise Shackleton, the wife of the Foreign Secretary [David Miliband] & a [violinist] member of the London Symphony Orchestra. The Queen gave Dr Rice a recording of the recital
This can hardly have been an impromptu occasion, & one wonders how it was all arranged. I should like to think that it was actually the Queen’s idea
