Her Majesty Elizabeth II

[John in Louisiana]

As an American, I heartily reject the notion of the divine right of kings or inherited titles.

That being said, after having listened to the Queen's speech, I wish we had a national leader who could speak to us with the equanimity, grace, and compassion that Her Majesty used to address her subjects today.

She does your nation proud.

Thank you John

We are very fortunate to have a national leader such as Her Majesty Elizabeth II

I'm lucky in one way that I could hear, on the radio, Queen Elizabeth's coronation on 2/6/1953 and look at the pictures the next day from whichever newspaper my mum had delivered to the house. I remember someone saying, completely innocently, "It's nice to have a young queen", not realising how many different ways that comment could have been interpreted a few scant decades later.
