Subject: RE: Queen Elizabeth II / King Charles
Well there is a strong and healthy anti-monarchy contingent in the UK, Maggie. We can all be respectful of a deceased person, but that doesn't mean we have to shut up forever. Many of us regard Charles as a deeply flawed and somewhat unintelligent person, and not the right man for the job (if there can be such a thing...). In our deepest recesses we'd love him to screw up so that we can ditch this outmoded and entitled institution, but we know that even if that screw-up happens the establishment will look after him just as it looked after the Queen. I'm sure that the tombstone will get lots of visitors. I won't be in the queue.
