Inspired by her Christian faith, she has taken every opportunity to encourage people to find the good in the world. In 1978, another year of violence and discord in the UK, the Queen tried to lift the spirits of her nation.
"We, who claim to be of the free world, should examine what we really mean by freedom, and how we can help to ensure that, once in place, it is there to stay," she said. "Distance," the Queen reflected, can "lend an extra dimension to judgement, giving it a leavening of moderation and compassion - even of wisdom - that is sometimes lacking in the reactions of those whose task it is in life to offer instant opinions."
The death of Diana, Princess of Wales, in a car crash in 1997, prompted an outpouring of public anguish which put enormous pressure on the royals. There were demands that the Queen share her personal grief with the world. For perhaps the only time in her reign, she allowed the two distinct roles to become blurred - the public monarch and the private grandmother speaking as one to explain why she had stayed in Scotland.
Yeah corruption starts here, the inherited attitude of entitlement which allows people of hers & Boris's ilke to think the rules do not apply to them. We need change let the Queen have her day but please put an end to I herited entitlement it only corrupts.
What absolute nonsense.
For the sake of impartiality, please also publish something from RepublicStaff. Thank you.
'Comforter in chief' my arse. One guillotine and a pillow for every citizen = comfort.
BBCLondonNEWS HOW is this 'News'? Obsequious sycophancy, perhaps, but it's not news. I don't consume live broadcasts and no longer pay the propaganda tax (TV licence). This is humiliating the nation. AbolishTheMonarchy
She doesn’t comfort me. She irritates the hell out of me.
Is this the same woman who gave her son 12 million so he could give it to a woman he has never met to avoid justice ,just ,asking for the folk in prison who couldn’t afford to pay off their accuser’s
God bless the Queen 👑
This is utter, utter tosh. By implication, when she dies we're doomed
The country's pretty fucked then isn't it?
Do you just assume everyone finds this awful sycophancy acceptable?
What total fucking garbage
BBC cosplaying as the Daily Express
Oh please 🤮
More sycophantic bootlicking drivel from BBC news , the royalist propaganda arm
Not sure 'immovable' is a good thing, btw.
Ah, the 'comforter-in-chief' who only shed a tear in public when the Royal yacht was decommissioned.
Pfft.
Who wrote this sh*t?
Too late
You know the world saw this right?
You can’t say that, the anti monarchists will be crying BBC bias
What out-dated guff! Get a grip BBC and put the jubilee in perspective. Perhaps even, and here’s a thought, offer different viewpoints on it?
Shame she seems fine with Johnson as her PM
What sycophantic forelock- tugging deferential nonsense.
QueenWanking
The United Kingdom is the Queen and the Queen is the United Kingdom, Long live the Queen!!!
Lobbied secretly for legal exemptions benefitting her family holdings. Creative offshore banking. Ensured that climate change regs don’t apply on her estates. Racist hiring practices. Ensured the Freedom of Information Act doesn’t apply to her cash. Bandit-in-chief, more like.
Stop smoking spliff at work, BBC.
Abolish the monarchy
She’s not going to shag you 👍
Well she will be dead soon but I suspect the nation won’t fall over so…. utter bollocks. AbolishTheMonarchy
Booooooooo
I was born a royalist. But, unfortunately I disagree with this assessment, because the decay in society is damaging my fellow Brits. This is happening under her Reign. She has to do something. When BorisJohnson is abusing Brits RoyalFamily can not be “impartial”!
How’s that working out? Have you seen the news at all in the last few years?!
