Queen Elizabeth has decreed that members of her royal staff may no longer carry cell phones on the job, after several of them started ringing during a recent banquet for foreign dignitaries. The queen's ban applies to all hands on duty in the palace unless, like press officers, the phone is considered indispensible to the job. "It's a question of common sense and good manners," said a palace spokesman.
