We are not talking about the Queen: we are talking about an individual who is appointed to perform the duties of the Queen's representative, but is no longer doing so. I'm sorry to have to say this, but Mr. John Williams' comments do not make sense. By refusing to have this individual appear at the same time as the Auditor General, he is accepting the idea that some individuals are above this country's rules of ethics and transparency.
