Heavy is the head...
ike most of the world, I have watched the departure of royals Meghan and Harry with great interest (27.01.20) gave very balanced coverage of the known facts and your editorial, Alice, gave us even more insight into the pressures and anxieties that this young man has grappled with his whole life. At the same time, the Queen deserves our respect for the dignified and compassionate way she has dealt with such a difficult situation. As the article pointed out, she has faced a never-ending list of family dilemmas and ‘sticky’ situations during her very long reign. Looking at the pictures of this 93-year-old monarch, she must be really tired of holding up ‘the head that wears the crown’ despite the fact that she is duty bound to keep going until the end. Who would want that job?
