1.Much the best of the anti-monarchy entries. Good to get both Windsor & Middleton in. Very neat.
2.Can't really award points as I also had this but thought it a bit too clumsy!
 
Comments on the competition
1.
It's astonishing how many different approaches lurk within a mere 38 letters on essentially the same theme. Although there were good ideas a-plenty, I thought that 10 and 36 were head and shoulders above the rest, because they both sounded so natural.
2.
I guess we all had problems shoehorning the last few awkward letters into words. My marks went to clues 32, 8, 17, 9, 11, 14 and 36, which made this least obvious.
