My older son has shown me things from our relatives in Ireland. It is something that can't be explained in so many words: either you understand, or you don't.

I understand that others on this forum are sad she died. So I don't respond much on those OP/threads. I'm neither happy nor sad that she died. She lived a dull life. I really don't know much about her, and suspect that she was a good person. But I do not take the feudal concept of "royalty" -- from medieval times -- to be any of any more value than the idea the earth is flat. I don't think the words "your majesty" can be applied to Charles in a serious manner.
