Royalty

I didn’t follow Diana’s life very closely, and was largely unaware of her devotion to any number of worthy humanitarian causes. She had clearly grown from an awe-struck teenage sybarite into a deeply sensitive, caring woman and an adoring mother, determined to give her two young sons many of the same experiences to which we ordinary mortals are subject.

It’s time Britain demonstrated a similar degree of maturity by telling the Windsors to chuck (no pun intended) the monarchy and queue up at the nearest unemployment office. Royalty is for lowly ants and bees, not for a human race poised to enter the third millennium.
