I wasn’t born in a castle but my lineage goes back further than the dearly departed Queen Elizabeth so I understand a bit about royalty. Yet at the same time have strong reservations about the Monarch system as a whole. This is a system that was basically attained through the blood of others as the monarchs moved to take over territory after territory. Yes, these monarchs brought forms of democracy to such areas but also hurt many cultures and plundered their destiny’s along their path. Yet no one picks where they are born only how they live their life under such circumstances. So we mourn Queen Elizabeth who showed the world how best to wear such a crown and provide the best reasons such as kindness, compassion, loyality, and love to keep the crown alive today.
