Assalaamu alaikum,

Well, I don’t think it’s often that I agree 100% with Old Pickler ;), but I think she’s summed it up here:

“Yes, they should shut up. But they won’t, because it sells newspapers.”

I still have bitter memories of the U.K being a ludicrous place for about two months are she died.

In fact, when I found out she’d died, one of the first things I said was “We’ll never hear the end of this”.

Couldn’t agree more.

It was a personal tragedy for her sons, but not for anyone else, even ten years ago. And people were so hypocritical - bitching about her one minute, then, when she’s dead, she becomes a saint.

Yes, they should shut up. But they won’t, because it sells newspapers.

Ditto DNS - royalty are a big yawn, a tourist attraction at best, an anachronism perpetuating class division. I’m sure the Queen is a sweety, but when she’s gone, let’s send Charles to live on a Council Estate in Peckham and the rest to live with Fergie in the US.

Nope, you’re certainly not alone. But perhaps I’m atypical, because I couldn’t give a monkey’s about her even ten years ago.
