It is the Queen's Jubilee: a leader who has been popular for decades, adjusting successfully to such extreme political, social and high-tech changes ...
When H.M. Queen Elisabeth was crowned, there was no fax ... email? Yet today, her husband Prince Phillip is my Facebook friend!
It takes a smart woman and a true leader to interact with her subjects (and the rest of the world) so successfully. Some say, the Queen might have had a mis-step right after Princess Diana died in a car accident on 1997. My friend Dickie Arbiter who was at H.M.'s press office at the time, remembered it differently in a TV interview with me. He has portrayed the Queen as sensitive leader, who was shaken by the accident, the tragic death and the reactions of the people.

That brings me to an emotional moment with Prince Charles. I have known him for years, and supported some of his charities with pleasure. The Crown Prince is a true believer in creating new business opportunities. He is very involved with the charities, he had agreed to be a patron of. Among them - some arts. For example: "The Philharmonia" orchestra. It is a great house for many talented musicians and devoted employees. I have supported and attended events with Prince Charles, at his country home (High Grove), St James Palace, and Windsor Castle ...
At one of the recent events - a delightful evening with music and theater - the Prince made an emotional plea for the sake of true arts. He was articulate, funny, personal (it was a small group) ...I couldn't agree with him more, but ...Yes! There is one point, I respectfully disagree with Charles ...
***
When His Royal Highness was telling us about, how he is longing to maintain the sensation of a live concert (like the one he was treating us that evening), or the feeling of reading a real book, "not downloading it on Kindle ..."
Well ... with all due respect to his hard work and devotion to the arts, I must say: The content is the king!! It was phrased, years ago, by Sumner Redstone, the media mogul, behind Viacom. Yet - he is still a winner!
It is all about the original content!! Music? Films? Text? Paintings? ...The way we choose to receive this content, is secondary. Our busy schedule can dictate us to prefer our Iphones? Ipads? Audio books? Kindle??
I have received grateful messages from people who downloaded my second book: "My Benazir" on the their kindle and other tools. That means, that they read it in their comfort zone, when they could enjoy it the most!! You can do the same: http://www.amazon.com/My-Benaz
