According to the Beeb, or more accurately: according to Poet Laureate Andrew Motion, as cited on BBC, writing for the Royals is “a hiding to nothing.”
So do we have to rewrite all these business models based on the idea powerful platforms of performance? Do we have to revert back to the old fashioned royalties idea? Or is writing for the Royals not even more old fashioned, given the post of Poet Laureate has been introduced in 1668, the statute of Ann dating from 1710?
