Despite being a Scotsman, I have always and I continue to be, totally loyal to Mrs Windsor and Phil the Greek. However, the way I feel nowadays in my advancing years is that the whole system should come to a halt with the demise of our beloved Queen.
QEII has achieved near global respect for the lifelong commitment she has shown towards her "job". Sadly (and despite the fact that Charles and William are pleasant people) neither of them can compete with "mum".

When QEII moves on it will naturally be the end of an era and the chances of any newcomer gaining similar respect are highly improbable - partly because they just don't make them like QEII anymore and partly because society cares less and less for royalty.

So hang in there JW411, it will all be over (in one way or another) soon enough!
