I'm not a died in the wool blue blooded monarchist, and getting a bit bored with all the union jack bunting, but even I am impressed by our monarch. She has presided for 60 years in a calm, cheerful, utterly elegant and intelligent manner. There were mistakes (reaction to Princess Di's death), but despite her buffoon of a husband she has carried out her duties, in my view, in an exemplary way.

Any comments?


Puke!!

Princess Di was above all of them

Here's a comprehensive window on this contemporary Marlborough:

Explain, please.
Any comparison between Princess Di and the Queen is invalid because Di, beautiful, charming and charismatic as she was, never reigned, never had to carry out the onerous duties as monarch.

LOL princess Di, beautiful yes, kind heart'd yes, breath of fresh air yes, total nut job definately.

The fact that the fascist rag otherwise known as The Daily Mail never stops creaming itself in her memory is reason enough to forget Lady Di and announce to the world that lizzie the 2nd is the third best monarch we have had, and the other two were women as well.

It's just my uneducated view.

since the royal family seem to take up so much "news" space when they are just going from one place to another ( or some other non-event) , and also all those tabloids, I figure I can have my views and expouse my opinion in everyone's face just as poorly as the royal families gullets seem to come into mine .

I agree, I think she is amazing, and so indeed was Elizabeth I - intelligent women who have made great sacrifices.

Thumbs down to you too!

Shame none of you can realize a differing perspective is just as valid

You seem to be forgetting that the Queen herself was a looker when she was young too!

For one awful moment I thought you said 'hooker' but yeah she was definitely a looker, I used to have a picture from about the same time with her astride a horse taking the salute, nice.

Vacuous, bonkers, and not nearly as pretty as the Express wants us to think she was.

Yeah, I can see why she's still popular in Oz.

I quite agree. Like our queen, she's done her job, and done it well. And she's kept Charles out, for whom I have a certain sympathy, but who I must admit is not really fit for this particular job. Recently, it seems that William has started to take after his gran more than his dad - let's hope this continues.

Mind you, the Belgian monarchy has a different, but equally important function. Without the Belgian king, you'd be talking about Flanders and Wallonia, and possibly about the Flanders-Walloon war. It's often said that their king is the only true Belgian.
