Can the English handle the queen's death a bit more like a soap opera? ~

There is breathless coverage of Megan Markle and Kate Middleton catfighting, whether or not Harry and Megan were invited to some party, and Harry and William wearing some gaudy and ridiculous military uniforms when neither one is actually, you know, in the military. What's up with all this hullabaloo? Will some of you Brits please explain?

No one cares or watches the tv or reads about them other than older generations and, still ,a part of that demographic. And ig anti monarchy fanatics who obsess as much as those who endorse the family

@Entwistle There have been some big crowds outside of Buckingham Palace for most people not caring. Five or six people you know do not constitute "most people."

@PepsiColaP Hmmm, "no one cares"? Apparently the line-ups to see the Queen lying in State are up to 24 hours long so obviously some people seem to care, in fact a lot of people seem to care based on the crowds shown on TV News lining the streets just to catch a glimpse of the hearse driving along... I'm not a fan of the Monarchy but it's kind of difficult to ignore the obvious 😖

@RedBaron Millions of people arent queuing up. We are a nation of nearly 70 million people.
The huge majority are not queuing up.

@RedBaron That's exactly right..you have no idea. Cool!

@Entwistle OK, I get it. You want to imagine yourself a superior human being. Whatever floats your boat.

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@RedBaron Superior to whom? What a silly thing to project. I'm no better than most other people.

Things can happen, along with their tradition. They just happened to be the richest monarch. Fame feeds business, buy it if you want more.

Harry served with the Army flying apaches in Afghanistan. William was a serving member of the Royal Air Force.

@HeidiA But they are no longer active in the military. Why don't they display a bit of humility in nice suits?

Entwistle · 56-60, M

@HeidiA Didnt Edward drop out of the military? He couldnt handle it apparently.

An arm of the British press reporting. Same as American press reports on its Presidents.
