Sharpie Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I remember when her Dad died and a young girl took over that job. I became a member of her Brigade of Guards and participated in her Coronation Parade in 1953 in Egypt. Saw her many times in London, when serving on Palace guards there. realised that her job although well paid, and full of the rich life was not anything I personally would have applied for. Later spent man hours doing different duties as a policeman when she and her family visited Edinburgh. Moved to Canada and surprise surprise the Queen arrived in Vancouver in the Royal Yacht, I am sure at some time she would have looked and said jeez theres that Boab again he haunts me. I have no criticism of Her Majesty the system no doubt requires close examination, but just like us she was born into a situation and had to live with it, certainly in great comfort, but I am sure like any job she has days when she says oh shit not all this crap again.

SwindonJambo Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) I’m as anti royalist as anyone else. But there’s a time for decorum, respect and generally refraining from being a dickhead. I wouldn’t have wanted her role for the World, despite all comforts that came with it and to have stuck to a role that was forced on her from the age of 25 is no mean feat. There is certainly a discussion to be had about the future of the monarchy, but at an appropriate time and a place. Her sense of duty, even if you don’t agree with the Monarchy (as I don’t) is impressive imho.

Too right I'd have taken the job, you could shape it to whatever you want - you're the king. You could be a shagger, a coke fiend, a metal bassist, a recluse, you could be dedicated to an ancient notion of duty, whatever you want. And free to leave whenever you want too.
