People think I hate the Royal Family, but that's not true.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I love the Royal Family. The Queen, she's fabulous.
I like all the families in the U.K. But what I like about the idea of the royal family is... they seem like they're well educated and there's something admirable about them. And the Queen... she reminds me of my grandma.
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don't even have breakfast together.
If you look at the British royal family and take away the scandals and the goofy stuff that's going on, people love to have this king to look up to - the royals are like celebrities.
I'm not an anarchist, but I believe that people don't want the royal family - the so-called royal family.
I guess I've grown to admire Queen Elizabeth II more. I've always struggled with my feelings about the Royal Family. I am a supporter. I'm not someone who thinks we should get rid of them. But what I've struggled with is the lack of emotionality that the Queen seems to share.
The senior members of the royal family work very hard and I don't think people quite realise that.
The Royal family to me are not England, and they are not the flag.
I don't like the royal family, I don't like the establishment, I don't like the civil service.
I'm not a royal family watcher.
