Queen's fixer resigns from Jubilee plans citing work pressures

GEORGE WRIGHT

LORD LEVENE, the man chosen by Buckingham Palace to organise the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebration in London next year, has resigned at a key stage in the preparations.

T he peer, in charge of investment banking at Deutsche Bank and a former Mayor of London, was chairm a n of the London Committee of the Queen's Golden Jubilee for onl y six months but stepped down, citing "pressures of time".

One report suggested the 60-year-old peer resigned after a row over the nature of his role with new Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell, whose department has taken charge from the Home Office .

But a spokesman for the Department of Culture, Media and Sport said: "T here was no question of a falling out. He [Lord Levene] explained that he reluctantly decided he w ould not have sufficient time to devote to the task."

A Palace spokesman said: "The Queen was sad to hear of Lord * evene's departure, but it is not a blow to preparations."

Lord Levene was not available for comment.
