What garbage. The Queen and the Royal family have always been our best friends and most loyal supporters. After 9/11 she demanded that our national anthem be played, which was the first time in the history of the Empire an anthem of a foreign nation was played officially.

The Royals are extraordinary people who have dedicated their entire lives to charity and public service. The Left has been trying to abolish it for decades and with it...English history and tradition.

For a conservative publication to print something so vile about this incredible family is disgusting.

Thank you for your post. You hit the nail on the head. The only people in the UK who do not like the Royals are the socialist. The same people who banned Fox hunting and introduced the liberalisation in our schools.

That Prince Charles is outspokenly anti-American is a not-too-well-kept secret.

Becasuse of his Muslim sympathies he was purposely not scheduled for any American visits because his posse was afraid that he would say something which would cause a diplomatic incident.

"The Queen and the Royal family have always been our best friends and most loyal supporters." - Deb

Rot.

If by "our" you mean conservatives, the Queen and the post-WWII Royal family understandably have stayed clear of active politics. (I assume you'd like to avoid their pre-WWII politics.) In terms of political theory, the Royal's pronouncements have tended to be statist. And, the personal relationship between Queen Elizabeth and Prime Minister Thatcher reportedly was chilly at best.

If by "our" you mean the USA, you confuse friendship and loyalty with foreign policy realism.

Elizabeth has been a good Queen, but, given the current lot, there is no good reason the monarchy should survive her.

There is a lot of irony in that decision inasmuch as the Star Spangled Banner deals with the defeat of the previous attack on the American mainland by a foreign nation - the bombardment of Fort McHenry in Baltimore 187 years prior to the 9/11 attack. The foreign nation was Great Britain, which was ruled by George III, an ancestor of Elizabeth II.
