I'm a pretty committed Republican as an example , I'll debate the merits of the Royal Family with anyone .

Here's the thing right , I was deeply saddened when the old girl passed away , I really was .

During the dark days of Covid I could see the merits of the Queen addressing the nation , I could see it was a comfort to many and that everything would be ok .

That's a tolerance I was happy to give even though I don't agree with Royalty .
