Entry: Diana Deserves Better Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/diana_deserves_better#4246 Post contents: This article and most of the comments make me sick. Prince Charles is a good man who made some mistakes in his personal life but who is far more thoughtful and insightful in his public contributions than most politicians. I wonder how Taki's alleged friend King Constantine, Prince William's godfather, feels about him trashing the Greek king's cousin the Prince of Wales. I've had it with "conservatives," neo, paleo, whatever. If the Right will not defend Monarchy, the oldest and best form of government, incomparable embodiment of tradition and heritage, which resonates with the deepest needs of the human psyche, what good is it? What Europe needs--badly--is its kings, not only Windsors, but Bourbons, Habsburgs, and Romanovs, not politicians of any stripe. As far as I'm concerned, anti-royalist "conservatives" are no better than leftists--maybe worse. A plague on all Roundheads, Jacobins, and Bolsheviks, whatever they call themselves today. To accuse the Queen of doing "nothing" can reflect only stupidity or willful ignorance. HM has tirelessly served her country for more than half a century, providing a focus for continuity and natural unity, bringing the magic of monarchy--without which there would have never been a Princess Diana--into so many people's lives, representing the UK with dignity and grace abroad, acting as fount of honour, advising prime ministers, and heading the greatest institution in the world, whose pageantry and splendour have brought joy to millions. She and her family deserve more respect. God Save the Queen, and God Bless the Prince of Wales! Sent at: 2008 08 29
