Nutnurse, an interesting point re Pepys. Arguably his output - and the liberal climate typified by much Restoration theater - helped create the circumstances in which Charles II's successor could be so swiftly rumbled and replaced. Pepys less forthcoming on air ambulances, alas, but the perils of blurring the line between royalty and celebrity stand the test of time. The safeguard, as always, is a vigilant media and a healthy scepticism about spoon-fed palace platitudes.
