Re: Prince Philip, 99
...and we're all expected to be in mourning. It's like we're back in the 19th century.
God knows what it'll be like when Queenie goes. We'll all have to lock the doors, close the curtains and cry quietly to ourselves for a month. I've never heard so much Elgar on the TV.
I like the Queen (nice old dear, she gave me a gong, so it's personal) but I hate the monarchy. I detest the idea that I'm a subject not a citizen. I wonder if we'll feel different 'under' Charlie?

Re: Meh
He spoke out against COVID restrictions, nobody seems to want to say whether he was vaccinated or not. He had asthma so he'd be a fool not to be.

Re: Balanced reflection.
I suspect that we'll soon be having conversations about whether we want a king, particularly this king. I resent being a subject - even if it's in name only.
