- orwin 4y agoPopulation of Yemen, Ireland, Botswana and probably others I'm not aware of yet. Let's be honest here: while later in life she did nothing politically too active (i think she took a EU colored dress during Brexit?), Until at least the 90s, between supporting colonialism and the mafia-like comportment of the Royal family (let's not forget her cousins[0]), her reputation wasn't the highest in the world. And anyway, between republicans and anti-imperialists, it should be difficult to find support. Most of the left (when you exclude tankies at least) is anti-imperialist, and most of the right is republican nowadays, no? At least in France and the US. I admit I missed this news cycle tbh, so I'm not sure. [0]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerissa_and_Katherine_Bowes-Lyon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerissa_and_Katherine_Bowes-Ly...
