No Tears Shed. But I have always been amazed by the entire concept of the monarchy. I have watched The Crown several times and each time saw something I did not see before and found it intriguing that they were/are not the brightest individuals, nor attractive (that mouf piece), nor personable, but command a lot of power and contradicted themselves at every turn. 96 is a long time for anybody to live and 70 years in one "job," no matter who they are, it is significant. And hope Diana's children turn up and change a lot of wrongs done by their grandparents, et. al.
Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge and introspection. While facing these realities is less than pleasant, I am so thankful that you are knowledgeable enough to put into perspective so much that would otherwise go unquestioned and celebrated. Still learning and changing in my golden years!
You have an amazing way of weaving all of the intricate threads of historic and contemporaneous with stunning accuracy and insight. I always learn so much from your blogs, but this one is among the best of yours that I've seen. And oh yeah, down with the monarchy!

Coming from my favorite contemporary history professor, consider me honored!
Great work! Informative as per usual Nupe!
Thank you. No fan of the monarchy here, i will shed no tears. But the spin in MSM is enough to make me vomit!
