I think she has done what she has felt her duty, but that there were particular moments in time where the political class was in sufficient disarray for her to step in. She should have, but did not. Being so far away, I often wondered if I was accurate in my assessment. I also wonder to what extent she feels a hostage.Augusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08758314961163692341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4683970826895755480.post-35162255456894145022015-09-16T15:49:26.951+01:002015-09-16T15:49:26.951+01:00Many conservatives expect the Royal Family to take...Many conservatives expect the Royal Family to take a strong stand for “tradition” in the face of leftist anarchy. There is simply no reason to expect this, because the Royal Family has no traditionalist or right-wing inclinations whatsoever. They are members in good standing of the leftist political elite. I challenge anyone to cite a single example of them standing up for traditional principles or defying leftist orthodoxy. Those who think the Royal Family are somehow a secret bastion of traditionalism who have been muzzled by the Left are clinging to vain hope in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The Royals are not hypocrites or puppets — they speak and act in accordance with their genuine beliefs.

But I lacked the contact with and knowledge of the Queen to make any assessment of the 'job' she has done. Glad to have some discernment from you. Sad result. J.
