No, I'm not a royalist but I do have respect for the Queen and the work she has done. Mind you, she's been lucky to have lived a long and mostly healthy life, unlike a lot of her subjects. And had the support of her mother and husband for many years, which a lot of us are not fortunate enough to have. I won't feel sad but look forward to watching the funeral on TV, which will be massive in spite of Covid. Then there's the big question of Charles and Camilla becoming King and Queen - have they done enough to be accepted now? I think they probably have, though there will always be a few loonies that won't accept him! I don't expect Charles to live as long as the Queen so maybe I will live to see William and Katherine crowned. (Charles is a year younger than me so I'll have to stay motivated to live longer! lol)
