One of the things that I found interesting when QE2 passed. Is how little people understand how the Monarchy even works, and I’m not even British.
You know how everyone keeps having a go at Meghan and Harry for talking badly about the Royal Family? When they, in fact, never have. They’ve talked about how the FIRM have treated them. Just like the Queens twitter account did not wish Meghan a happy birthday and the others did. No, the Queen, couldn’t just say what she wanted too.
So, no, the Queen could not just condemn things, in her name.
The amount of documentaries I’ve watched about Henry the 8th, Elizabeth the 1st, Mary Queen of Scots. Their lives are NOT their own. They DON’T speak for themselves. They are surrounded by those who speak for them. Which is why YOU have to be so careful about what you read/listen about them.
It’s why I only listen to when they do actually use their own words. I watch their body language, I listen to them speaking.
