She reigned through them by virtue of the fact that she didn't actually die in them. Otherwise, she scarcely influenced events. I could also add that, being a 1951 baby, I have also lived through all those changes in her realm, yet no-one thinks I'm noteworthy!

Cannot link to it here, sorry, but I have seen
a photograph of Charles III which bears a remarkable resemblance
to Stephen Spielberg's E. T. the Extra-Terrestrial.
Eyes, wrinkles, and all.

Joke:

What is ET short for?

Because he only has little legs.

That's a standard reaction in newspapers: the first week or two it's hagiographies, then come the hatchet jobs. Sales both ways.

Cynical? Moi?
