In my Fairy Kingdom, Roherum the goblin presenter, spends his summer reporting on the sandcastles appearing and judges the competitions. It is his silly season though all taking part in the competitions take it deadly seriously.
The Queen often goes to her holiday home on the coast and sees her time there as a time to recharge her batteries (and those of her staff) but she doesn't expect to be interrupted by the media. Generally they do leave her alone but this changes when she doesn't receive what they consider should be the customary salute.
The sillly season can be a great time then to bring in stories that wouldn't see the light of day anywhere else.
