I saw this in a Washington Post online blog yesterday, and I found it quite an interesting perspective. Americans are infatuated with Queen Elizabeth II being here, but this reminds us that she represents exactly what we established this country against. My favorite quote of the whole thing came when discussing the movie "The Queen" from earlier this year: "America now believes that the Queen is a graceful, complex, dignified but still very human monarch with an admirable devotion to family and duty, instead of a little old lady who likes horses and never says anything much," writes Tim Dowling.
But then I read the comments. Those are pretty interesting too...
