## Resource

As William attempts to reassure the public that he is committed to the Church of England, others raise questions about his ability to serve as supreme governor. The working Royals assembled to mark the centenary of Elizabeth II. But onlookers note the lack of young blood in their ranks. Meanwhile, the King and Queen embark on a controversial state visit to the United States. We discuss all this and more in the latest Royal roundup.
