I always find this British love/hate of the Monarchs to be both cute and interesting.
Lots of Nations still have a figurehead-Monarchy but only the Brits seem to really go all-out.
Thats the part I dont understand. Sure. Shout out to your history, but dont let it influence your future. Does any other Nation care as much about their Royals as England? I dont think so.
I'm okay with it, I'm pretty ambivalent. But I remember once being asked by one of my British clients what I'd do if I met the Queen (at the time) and I just said:
"I'd say; Hey Lizzy, whats happening?"
And they were aghast. But I'm sorry. Sure, I'm Canadian, but I'm no one's 'subject.'
You want to roll around in a Crown, thats your business, so did 'The Wiz.' I don't care if you're the Grand Poobah of the Loyal Order of Water Buffaloes. To me you're just an Elderly Woman in a fancy hat.
I mean...I'm sure its a very nice hat.
