anagain Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I did just watch a tribute to the Queen's reign on BBC1. I don't think she was too bad actually. Maybe I'm just getting soppy as I get old. She seemed to learn from moments that were poorly done. There'll always be division on the monarchy. It probably does need to change with the times but tonight I wonder if it is as bad as I've often thought of it. Some parts are, of course. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honest. I've always understood that they have a role for their tourism potential. Still think they need to change with the times. But I don't think Madge was as bad as all that. Meghan might disagree with me... I did think it was a well done piece too. I suppose there was always a part of me that was okay with them, what with having a very royal happy Nan and me growing up in a time when royal street parties were a regular occurance in the summer.
