[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who ... doesn't care? I have zero connection to England or the Queen, for my entire life she's been an old lady, and this just doesn't move me.

It'll be like when an actor or singer die whose name I've heard but have never watched or listened to their work. I just think "well, that's too bad for their family" and move on. [/quote]

I don't think many Americans will have sleepless nights over it, per se, but the [b]woman watched over our closest allied nation [/b]for 70 years. There are many thoughts on the role of a monarchy, but I think it is undeniable that [b]she sacrificed a great deal of personal pleasure (such as time with her family and children) [/b]to provide a steady face of the nation. It is a reflective time and certainly sad for her family and her country.[/quote]

Laughable. She is a figure head. She does not give interviews or says anything that is not scripted. Her family was handled off to nannies and governesses. She had a very privileged life but did nit get along with other who took the spot light away- Diana, etc. Huge ego but that goes with the job.[/quote]

I wrote "watched over," not governed, for a reason. And who is to say anyone in that position wouldn't rather watch their own kids than hand them over to nannies and governesses? When I apply for jobs I look at the amount of travel because I want to be able to do bedtime routine and be there to comfort them when they are up sick in the night. YMMV, but I'd prefer that to handing my kids over. It is simple to think that giving your kids to a nanny is preferable to being with them.[/quote]
