BBC.com I’m going to get a bit personal in this post, so be forewarned. Queen Elizabeth died last week. I confess I was overwhelmed by my reaction to this not-completely-unexpected event. Even though I would not describe myself as a staunch monarchist and even though I’m well-familiar with some of the dark side of British history and the behaviour of kings and queens, I am, I discovered, beneath it all, still a Briton. I revealed to my younger sister (and now to you) that I felt as though I’d lost my mother again. She confessed that she felt the same way. I cried a few times. What the actual?
