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Reuters, the British news agency, seemed to suggest that Queen Elizabeth II harbored a view that was, to say the least, out of date.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.''

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.

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.''

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.

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.

International Israel turned down a compromise advanced by the United States to resolve some major differences with Lebanon on the terms for an Israeli troop withdrawal from Lebanon, according to Reagan Administration officials. But they said that the special envoy, Philip C. Habib, would make another attempt to persuade the Israelis to accept the plan when he returns to Israel today. (Page A1, Column 6.) El Salvador faces a ''crisis'' and could run out of military supplies in 30 days unless Washington provides $60 million more in military aid, according to Reagan Administration officials. They insisted that ''major'' American interests were at stake in preventing a Salvadoran rebel takeover. (A1:5.)

International Greater U.S. presence in El Salvador is being considered by President Reagan. A senior White House official said Mr. Reagan was weighing an increase in the number of United States military advisers beyond the current limit of 55. (Page A1, Column 6.) Civilian rule in Argentina is to be restored under a timetable announced by Government officials. They said the military rulers had decided after nearly seven years in power to call national elections for Oct. 30 and to step down next Jan. 30. (A1:6.)

A franchise for a commercial television station in Britain, said the late Lord Thomson of Fleet, who had one, ''is a license to print money.'' It is an aphorism that must make Peter Jay uncomfortable these days. Mr. Jay has been a high flier, as the English say, for most of his life: president of the Oxford Union, economics editor of The Times of London, television interviewer and Ambassador to Washington, all by the time he was 40 years old. Now, at 46, he is the chairman and chief executive of a television station whose initial flights have been anything but high. Mr. Jay and a consortium of Britain's most glamorous television personalities, collectively known as ''the Famous Five,'' were chosen two years ago by the Independent Broadcast Authority to start a commercial breakfast-time television program along the lines of ''Today'' and ''Good Morning America'' in the United States. They named the program and their company ''TV-AM'' and began with a flourish to prepare for the first program in February. All of the stars are shareholders, and Mr. Jay mortgaged his house to supply extra working capital.
