People being arrested for holding up placards, and even for saying they might, amid a vast sea of support from public and media, is about as unbritish as it gets. The most right wing government in our history might think this is sensible. But I cannot believe the new King does.
My thoughts are with the Queen’s family as they come to terms with their personal loss, as well as those here and around the world who will mourn her death.
I enjoyed discussing our families, gardens and jam-making with her.
May she rest in peace.
