I think I can explain that for you
However for this thread, rather suitable.

The Queen is a philistine who lacks an education, says David Starkey
David Starkey, an
expert on the British monarchy, has reportedly accused the head of state of being a philistine and being poorly educated.
The historian, well-known for his controversial views, claimed in an interview with The Guardian that she is largely uninterested in her predecessors and is
only interested in her own reign and how she appears to the public.
When Starkey was showing the Queen round an exhibition he had curated about Elizabeth I in 2003, he claims he found her
more occupied with the fact her gin and Dubonnet arrived late, than the works on display. He suggests that her only comment on the exhibition was on one of the objects which was hers.
He said: "She'd looked after them, she'd put in place much better arrangements for their care, but again - I suppose it's this absence of any kind of, to be blunt, serious education."
Referring to her Christmas broadcasts, all of which he has seen, he said: "It's quite fascinating, because her frames of reference to the monarchy, despite this 1,500-year history, are entirely her father and grandfather.
