Whilst not a supporter of the monarchy I have to admire the woman. She had a sense of duty to her subjects one and all regardless of political affiliation. Yes she had her warts but they pale to self serving presidents of this world. The Australians wished to remove the monarchy but found the alternatives to be much worse.

Politically, I can't fault our late Queen.
DeleteHad she returned the family fortune to the people who were robbed over the years, I'd like her more.
"The Australians wished to remove the monarchy but " couldn't get their act together.
Unlike, for example, BARBADOS
Maybe having an institution like the monarchy helps a little bit in keeping the dictators away. Wait a minute. I forgot about Thatcher.
ReplyDeleteShe was remarkable.
DeleteThe monarchy does at least keep a bay the republicanism of the USA.
