I watched it, just like I'll watch the Coronation because it's something that hasn't happened in my lifetime. Or my parent's.

I agree coverage and commentary etc. has got way over the top, but I don't think pointing that out is being disrespectful.

The Queen was a far less embarrassing representative for us on the world stage than the crank politicians you get either here or abroad. I think she'll be missed.

I assume every Labour voter will adhere to
Labour policy and sing God Save the King in respect of the new monarch

Labour Conference Delegates Will Sing National Anthem To Honour The Queen

Party bosses have taken the decision despite concerns about anti-monarchy protests.

Or Meghan, wonder why that is?

Well, for me it's because she comes across as an absolute nightmare and totally self-centred. She talks of respect but has alienated most of her own family with her behaviour and doing interviews about her in-laws. She also seems quite happy to have the privileges of being a Royal while complaining about the duties and intrusion that come with them.

I accept there will be plenty whose dislike of her is far more basic than that.

Well for once I agree she’s an appalling narcissist and even her own family despise her

I can just see decades from now people asking "What were you doing on the day SBD and Grendel agreed on something?"

Fair comment. Just think some people's moral compasses are a bit skewed on this, just my opinion.

The most downvoted comment on the Mail website today is 'Beautiful Meghan'.

That 'paper' and it's readership are unhinged when it comes to her.

For a lt of people, your daily mail types, it's racism.
You only have to look at similar stories relating to her and Kate and the different ways they're handled.

Have they conducted a poll yet and see if they’d rather have sex with her or a goat?

Costs aside, does the economy really suffer on a day like today in terms of lost revenue to shops? Is there any data to back it up either way? I'd guess most people have a finite amount to spend and will have planned for today's closure by spending more at the weekend or tomorrow.

Or as you've just seen there's a heck of a lot of people in this country that are still very much monarchists (honestly more than even I thought) who don't take kindly to stuck up Markle trying to tear it all down. If racism is included it's probably more to do with her being a yank than anything else.

Trying to tear it down? How?
What's she done that's more harmful than Andrew?

Seems more to me that people like CVD want to stir it up as racism. Nobody mentioned it on here until he brought it up 3 times in two pages.

If Megan had piled the pounds on and was cartooned as a fat ugly black pig would that be racist?

tbf shops used to be closed Sunday. I'll await somebody (shmmeee?) to come along and say what difference if any opening Sundays made to the economy. I do know the shop I worked at back in the day, it actually cost them money to open on Sundays because so few people bothered to shop then!
