This story from former Royal Protection Officer, Richard Griffin, perfectly sums up The Queen's sense of humour and willingness to please.

Picture this:
The year is 2002, itโs Thursday night, and you rush home to catch the latest episode of Friends. Now get ready for it to happen all over again. Friends: The Reunion is streaming May 27 on HBO Max. #FriendsReunion
The scariest thing is a lot of the time we do this subconsciously. Itโs ingrained in us. Itโs become part of our lives that we, until something like #SarahEverard happens, just accept. Itโs not okay. Itโs exhausting.Yet itโs STILL not enough.
So sorry this happened to you Sarah๐
What happened to Sarah Everard has hit home hard for so many women because we make the calculations she did every day too. We take the longer, better-lit route, push the fear aside for the voice that says โdon't be daft, you've every right to walk home alone at night and be safeโ
Monday: happy international womenโs day! Women should feel empowered to call out bullying and abuse.
Tuesday: how dare a woman speak out about something thatโs had a huge impact on her mental health?
Wednesday: if women choose to walk home alone then they put themselves at risk.
