I consider myself a royalist, and I would love the fact that the queen, under all the pomp and ceremony around her, is just a normal human being who has a limit.<BR/><BR/>But, as you said, it IS the Queen, and she does a lot for this country worldwide, maybe portraying her in a undignified form - especially when what apparently happened may not have happened - wasn't in everybody's best interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
