I was bought up by my grandmother to respect our Queen I look forward to her speaking to the nation every Christmas It isn’t her fault that she was born into wealth and privileges. I along with the majority of people find it difficult to understand her saying she has had a bumpy year. If she’s referring to her second sons’ shenanigans, he is a single man and the girls were 17 years old. Yes, we do have problems in our country poverty, homelessness, insufficient funding on health, law and education. none of these apply to the royal family. I would like a fairer equal world but there has always been the haves and the have -nots, that is life,that is why they call it life.
