true indeed but protocol does not allow, William does not have the networks and support of the Upper the Class - class system still exists

The good thing of Monarchy that it is a business, tourism more than makes up for the tax payer handouts.

Personally she was a great person and never forgot the commoners.
But I’m not a fan of monarchies and kings and queens.
It’s sad that a man without conscience who is an adulterer will be taking the throne. He doesn’t deserve it.
RIP Elizabeth…

She served and did her job/role well. She had a good heart and will be missed tremendously. One of only eight queens to have ever ruled.

Yea, 'ol King Chuck isn't real popular....I think the Queen was trying to hold on until he either aged out or passed before her as I think she wanted William to take the wheel as he is popular amongst the younger crowd...
