I admired her grace and incredible sensitivity to the role she played. To use an Americanism: "they don't make 'em like her anymore"

- celticninja 4y agoNo they do not and for that very reason we should abolish the monarchy. It is nothing but disappointment and indifference from here on. Go out on a high note I say. It doesn't have to be in the French style, but it also doesn't not have to be in the French style.
- michaelwww 4y agoI'm not British so I won't recommend what they do with their monarchy, but I agree with you that her descendants are an unimpressive lot
- origin_path 4y agoWilliam and Kate seem to be following in the Queen's footsteps though - they keep their head down and act dignified. He's the one who's next in line, so the antics of Harry+Megan don't count for much. After all the Royal Family has always had some characters who are more dramatic than others, but people judge it mostly by who sits on the throne.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoI do not find anything dignified about William and Kate either being bestowed a title due to the happenstance of the sequence and gender of one’s birth. Harry and Megan are capitalizing on their circumstances, as are William and Kate.
- whoooooo123 4y agoWhat's gender got to do with it? We abolished male primogeniture - William is the heir because he's the eldest, not because he's a man.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoOh, I did not know that.
- michaelwww 4y agoPrince Andrew is a bit of a problem...
- shapefrog 4y agoMuch time, effort, money and power has gone into giving you the impressions you have of the royals. They are not however, reality.
