Wondrous Wee Windsor

by Jason Constanza and Friends

This "mid-week level" puzzle was completed in the same week that the entire planet was galvanized by breaking news from the United Kingdom. After completing the puzzle (spoiler), please click here to read the newspaper-of-record account about this puzzle's theme, and here if you want to read between the lines and understand the unusual authorship. Note that the photo to the right shows 44-Across with 51-Across. Finally, we heartily recommend this clip (6 minutes), the evening of July 22, 2013, with the incomparable Rachel Maddow.
