letters and packages that a special staff is al ways on duty to deal with it and a permanent private post office has to be maintained at buckingham palace with a travelling branch that goes wherever the king goes the reason the king uses no stamps u simple and logical he cannot charge himself dues for his own ser vices to himself and the royal mall in great britain is as iu title implies a service of the crown so all the kings personal letters and any that are written on his own business by any of the officials at court bear no stamps instead there is a frank on the royal cipher the

at times like the coronation or the jubilee so many thousands of tele grams came in from all parts of the world that a special number code had to be devised and the telegram clerks sent off the appropriate form of reply when the king had pencilled a number on the message the palace telephone exchange through which a i the kings personal calls pass is here too many of its lines are scrambled
