In the well choreographed world in which Her Majesty lives and works, wearing a brooch that looks conspicuously like a Star of David (or a Jude patch in diamonds) when welcoming her new Prime Minister, cannot be inadvertent. What might it mean?
I've always been curious about her attitude to Israel. Though speculation is rife about why she's never visited, I'm inclined to think that's more due to the Foreign Office. I believe that in her own English way she's a friend both of the Jews and of Israel, and that her warmth when she awarded Israel's president Shimon Peres recently, was palpable and genuine.
Could the brooch be a subtle warning to Cameron to keep Clegg's hands off Israel?
Unlikely I suppose, but isn't it odd?
