That talk is still going on amongst hundreds of GOP delegates.

I would have to think if she voiced the preference to stay in, the country would have voted that way.
Probably too late for her say anything now


By tradition she does not say anything in public about political issues.

Well then she didn't regard it as that consequential. Bit more than just a "political issue" I think.

Huh? It's a political issue, and because she is not a queen in the old sense of the word, she does not discuss politics publicly. Yes, it's a really big political issue, but that doesn't somehow take it out of the realm of politics into something else.

Well....

Last week it was reported in the press that the Queen had asked a number of guests to Buckingham Palace to give three good reasons for remaining in the EU. The Palace refused to confirm or deny the report.

Her biographer has stated she's a sceptic of the EU and would support leaving the EU.

We will never know for sure. But I would definitely not assume that the Queen supported remaining in the EU.

Probably doesn't matter to her or her family one way or the other. Heck, maybe sh was even for the Brexit.

The queen is an old white Brit. She probably followed her age cohort and voted to leave.

She can't vote.

Like many others, probably didn't realize it would result in the dissolution of the UK.

This is what I suspected. What difference does it make to her?
If staying in the EU was so all-fired important to the country she would have let her opinion be known

Are you one of those who thinks teachers should be voicing their personal opinions about Trump/Hillary in this election, because it's different this time? No, teachers should remain neutral, and the queen should/did remain neutral. That's what being neutral means.

The French will leave next. The UK will not come back until changes are made.

Agree.
Plus,
I'm really surprised how uninformed the voters were (according to Google who revealed there were a ton of "what does it mean to leave the EU?" searches).
