Anyone else feeling a bit sad we won’t have the queens speech tomorrow ?

[Foxytail]

I know we have Charlie
bit it’s not the same

she has always been there my entire life

god bless her soul

miss you mam

No.
sad the farce continues

Nope.

Mam?

No I won’t be sad. Actually I don’t usually watch anyway, but if I did, there will be the King’s speech tomorrow.

Er, no. Mawkish sentimentality.

No…I haven’t listened to the Queens speech in decades!

No, always found it really bland.

Yes, it won't be the same without her 😕

Yes it will be strange

I'd imagine that King Charles is finding it harder to deal with than you, @Foxytail

I think she means Ma'am.

I've never listened to one so same as normal for me.

Yep, when she died, my kids told me not to bother with presents this year. No speech, no Christmas.

No never watched it in fifty-odd years .

I’ll watch for the first time in years in peace without someone talking etc all the way through, it will be world but history being made as first king for 71 years.

I am not feeling sad about that. No.

Sorry meant weird.

Dont watch it. Certainly this year wouldn't want to give up part of my day to an institution that's made it clear that it thinks people of colour like me have no place in 21st century UK, if we forget our place.

Nope.

Sad that we still have a monarchy, yes.

Yes, she's been a constant for my whole life. I do miss her presence as a role model and leader.

I don’t think the royal family are racist at all

Have never seen it in 42 years, so won't be sad at all

We will sit and watch the King , with a glass of wine
It will be strange without the Queen , as she’s been there … forever

It’s a new era now
God save the King ! ( still sounds a bit Game of Thrones )

Funny that out of all the comments you respond to that one.

I like having a royal family. However she tried to make us accept Andrew again, so she condoned what he did and tried to force us to as well. That changed my view of her. I now think that there could have been a lot more positive changes, which Charles wants to do, that she must have held back. I thought that every soldier who was in the last remembrance Sunday she attended should have had direct access past the coffin, with transport for the very elderly veterans but details like that were overlooked. She didn't support H&M and I've changed my opinion of her tbh.
