- hangonhn 4y agoAs a former Hong Konger from before the handover but has long ago become American, the news also made me sad. I've always maintained a degree of affection for her throughout the years. I think the dignity you mentioned really helped in that.
- ipnon 4y agoThe Queen is the moral heart of the kingdom. She set an example for us. There remains a feeling that we lost a light to look towards.
- Balero 4y agoWas she? Did she? I couldn't place a single example she set for the country, or moral she espoused other than aloofness and politeness. I'm not sure I would count either of those as a moral. Her behind doors effects on laws and how they would effect her interests may have set an example[0], but not a positive one.
