What or how has the Queen affected your life?

Just wondering what or how the Queen has affected your life? Just curious

queen hasn’t affected my life either negatively or positively, so was wondering if this was generally the case or not?

im not against the monarchy and struggling to get excited about the jubilee, so was looking for other view points and experiences

Basil it's tee-shik or tee-shok, Google tells me. Always thought it was tee-sack, oh well.

Although I do struggle with the non egalitarian aspect and the privilege of not doing much but having extra status, eg the younger dc

When I was at school we had the queen on the throne (obviously) and Margaret thatcher as pm - I always remember my teacher telling me that two women were the most powerful/important people in the UK. That's stuck with me.
She's just always been there, a constant and an embodiment of history.

Well I loved The Crown, especially thought Claire Foy was brilliant, apart from that......hmm let me think about it
