Re: Queen Misses Church Service this Morning

A wise decision. I skipped lunch with a friend on Friday because of wind like that. And I'm not in my nineties.

Re: Queen Misses Church Service this Morning

Sounds like it was a smart decision for her not to venture out in such terrible weather. I am sure she will get back to her routine next week. I am just surprised it is such a big deal and that so many people watch her every move. I would not want to ever be a royal! That life is not for me.

@Porcelain  She’s the Queen. That’s what’s done. It comes with the job. She’s known that from day one.

She's well into her 90's and there could be more to it than that.  Of course, they never say that.  The crowds are out of hand because the Palace has used her church visits to garner positive publicity for the Royal family.  They've become photo ops, it's possible that she's just tired of being on display every Sunday morning and needed a break.


Posting when one doesn't have any facts to back up their speculation is very unwise. Clearly, the storm is major and a good reason not to attend services as it is unsafe.

@RetRN  if they are calling it the storm of the century, I think we know why she didn't go out.

I know. But I can still sympathize and boggle at the idea that the world would want to know that about a person. She's a titular head of state, and I think the head of the Church of England (is that still true?), but still a person at the same time. It's not her fault she was born to such a thing and such attention.
