In the United States everyone is entitled to an opinion, even a Queen. But the report from Reuters, the British news agency, seemed to suggest that Queen Elizabeth II harbored a view that was, to say the least, out of date.

The official press agency published an attack today by a senior party official on elements of the country's press, which has been reporting Yugoslavia's economic troubles in surprising detail. The official, Kiro Hadji-Vasilev, a party leader from Macedonia, one of Yugoslavia's six constituent republics, or states, accused unidentified ''cultural politicians'' of seizing influential news jobs to make ''political provocations'' against party rule. He denied any ''alleged conflict between the League of Communists,'' the Party's official name, ''and the intelligentsia.'' He acknowledged, however, that individuals - a term used for disaffected intellectuals - sought a ''legalization of so-called political pluralism, that is, a multiparty system of democracy.'' Mr. Hadji-Vasilev warned that the party, ''neither today nor tomorrow, will cede a single step in the face of such pressure.''

One way to take your mind off your own family is to spy on another, which is why heaven blessed America with such as ''Dallas'' and ''Dynasty.'' But Britain's blessing was the greater: for centuries it has had ''Royalty.''

Former Defense Minister Ariel Sharon filed a $270,000 libel suit in a Tel Aviv court against Time Inc. and Time-Life International today, charging that he had been damaged by a false allegation in Time magazine that he had urged the Gemayel family to take revenge for the murder of President-elect Bashir Gemayel of Lebanon. Announcement of the suit was made by Uri Dan, an aide to Mr. Sharon. The allegation, in the Feb. 21 issue of Time, was contained in a passage discussing the secret appendix of a report by a state commission of inquiry on the Beirut massacre of Palestinians Sept. 16-18. The appendix was not published because it contained information about Israeli intelligence personnel and operations. Time said the appendix described a meeting between Mr. Sharon and the Gemayel family on Sept. 15, one day after the assassination. The magazine alleged that Mr. Sharon told the family then that the Christian Phalangist militia, which Bashir Gemayel commanded, would be going into Palestinian refugee camps in West Beirut and urged them to take revenge.

At the midpoint in its term, the Reagan Administration has again raised El Salvador to the top of its foreign policy concerns with its appeal to Congress for agreement on providing $60 million in emergency military supplies to the Salvadoran Government. Not only did President Reagan become personally involved today by calling together about 20 key members of Congress to discuss El Salvador, but Secretary of State George P. Shultz also seems to have been caught up in the Salvadoran situation with almost the same intensity as his predecessor, Alexander M. Haig Jr. Mr. Haig made El Salvador a test of East-West dimensions because of the links he saw between the Salvadoran insurgents and the Soviet Union, Cuba and Nicaragua. Mr. Shultz came into office seemingly less ideologically motivated than Mr. Haig and less interested in Salvadoran issues. Although Mr. Shultz's remarks today contained fewer rhetorical flourishes, they had no less anti-Soviet content than Mr. Haig's warnings about what would happen if El Salvador fell to the guerrillas.

Moshe Arens took over as Israel's Defense Minister today amid speculation about how he will approach policy decisions on the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Lebanon and possible negotiations with Jordan on the future of the occupied West Bank. Mr. Arens, who returned Friday from a year as Israel's Ambassador in Washington, told a gathering of about 60 senior staff members from the Defense Ministry and the military industries that he was ''an organization man'' and a team player with ''a broader and more objective perspective'' than many Israelis who had gone through the war in Lebanon. The remark contained the suggestion that he would be more respectful of his civilian staff, and would accumulate less personal power, than his predecessor, Ariel Sharon. It was a politic and popular thing to say to subordinates the first day on the job. And it seemed also to hint at the fact that Mr. Arens had no personal involvement in the decisions that led to the war in Lebanon.

The Reagan Administration is revising proposed rules to tighten prohibitions against use of Federal funds for lobbying by recipients of Government grants or contracts. The move follows protests from business groups and hundreds of public charities. But a number of critics of the proposed rules expressed skepticism about the prospects for working out acceptable regulations. ''The initial proposal is so totally and fundamentally wrong that mere modifications are not likely to change our complete opposition,'' said Brian O'Connell, president of the Independent Sector, a Washington-based coalition of 450 nonprofit groups and corporations that is opposing the new rules.
