| How much have these eyes seen |
Thankfully, the Queen is not yet this ill. But she is 95 and easily the longest serving monarch in history. Her Christian faith has long been a comfort to her. And this is especially evident now, in the twilight of her years. Indeed, the version of the Queen that we are now seeing is the greatest of her roles as our monarch. It is not important if she misses COP26 or other political talking shops. She is doing something much more important now.
She is showing us what human life is all about when we loosen our grip on power and status and function. Her last act may well be her finest. [Giles Fraser’s fine thoughts]
Though I’m bracing myself for the horrid things that will be said when she passes. Recalling the chants of “Ding Dong the Witch is dead” when Thatcher died. Horrid. And ignorant. And wtf-she-gave-you-your-own-goddam-leftie-demands-for-cheap-working-class-housing insane.
While the Queen gave us stability, dignity and care for the whole of the Commonwealth, that countries fought to join.
