You are being very generous, to my mind.
As a social conservative, I think anyone who contributes to the disintegration of the social fabric and social norms is guilty of gross negligence...shameful on her part.

I think she’s getting dotty, although not as dotty as Prince Philip, bless his heart. I’m happy that they both get to see their great-grandson.

Social fabric is very important to be sure, but if you follow that argument to its logical conclusion nothing would ever change! You could argue Benjamin Franklin and George Washington contributed to the destruction of social norms when they helped instigate a rebellion.

Tradition is fine - it provides a link to the past and it adds colour and meaning to the present, but it has to be relevant to have that meaning. If it starts to get in the way it should be reformed.
