I’m quite “ish” about the royals but actually feel very sad about the Queen. I can’t seem to articulate why - something to do with the end of an era perhaps? I just can’t believe she’s gone.
The royal family

Me too. I think many people who weren’t
/aren’t invested in the Monarchy as an institution were very invested in her as a person. The Crown also helped people understand the pressure of the role. I am genuinely sad that she’s gone - she always seemed wise and considered and rarely made a misstep in 70 years. It definitely feels like the end of an era and very final after yesterday.

I feel very grateful to have had her as my queen, she was the original girl power.
There will never be a monarch like her again.

Tbh I honestly feel there is a bit of collective mourning going on. If you read the paper, and watch the news and saw the funeral it was very morose. There was almost no counter to it. No anti royalists allowed to speak. Just told constantly that the country is feeling this huge loss. I quite liked the queen, bit haven't been sad at all. Just relieved that she didn't die in pain or after being bed ridden or having got dementia.

I’m really sad about it to be honest. Will miss the Queen, it just feels like the unforgiving end of an era we all thought would last forever.
I like Charles but I’d be happy enough if he stepped aside (I know that won’t happen!) and let William be King. William seems to have that certain something which the Queen had but I’m afraid Charles is missing. Charles will be a good King but I think the Monarchy will experience a jump in popularity when William eventually takes the throne.

@asblindasabat I agree it’s surreal to think we won’t see her again. That hit me when her coffin was lowered into the vault at Windsor
