What I get tired of is the constant attacks on institutions. I think it's kind of odd that so many Americans follow the Royals but at the same time any showing of respect for someone who has always been in the background of my life and the knives come out to tear her down. Same behavior on display with the tearing down of statues. Attack our history, attack our institutions, attack, attack, attack. Whatever else she was she was a young woman thrust into a symbolic role due to circumstances. Expected to uphold that role with dignity. In the end she really was a sweet little old lady that most of her country adored. My dad in his heyday could be a real SOB at times. Almost 84 now and he's a sweet old man. In the end that's how I'll remember him. And hope my family will think the same of me someday.
