ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI'm an Italian monarchist and I have translate (in italian) this post into my blog.
In my blog I wrote that the Monarchy is better than republic.
God save the Queen!
Best regards
I think many Americans regard her as effectively their Queen too, particularly at times like this - there's more than a whiff of something like nostalgia.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere once that the American Revolution, in some ways, was an economic rather than a "spiritual" separation from Britain. It is obvious that many Americans are still fascinated with the Royal family and hold Her Majesty in high esteem, even those who oppose eveything she stands for.
ReplyDelete"Gone are the national prejudices when Americans feel a special bond to my Queen. We are in these moments connected as one..."
ReplyDeleteIndeed! I noticed how Native Americans and Blacks, rightly angry at their exclusion from the Jamestown celebrations 50 years ago, were enthralled and reverential in Her Majesty's presence. Long may She reign in continuing imitation of Christ!
Superb post. Many Americans deeply admire Her Majesty's steadfast devotion to duty and her enduring and apparent fondness for the United States. I joked with some friends that if she had come out on the balcony at Williamsburg and said, "All is forgiven. I'd be happy to have Virginia in the Commonwealth," the General Assembly would have accepted the invitation by an immediate and unanimous acclamation.
ReplyDeleteOur Mother Prince and friend.
