I,unlike at least one or two of my older relatives.Do not hate the British...or the Queen. In fact I greatly admire the British.The Queen? She's OK.
These Monarchy love/hate threads remind me of the time my roommate picked up two young brit guys hitchhiking and brought them home to stay with us for a few days. This was when Dianna and Charles got married and we watched it on TV.
One of the guys was like a love struck puppy watching the event and the other guy couldn’t contain his disgust and narrated the wedding with sarcasm and contempt as only a Brit can do.
