I haven't watched it much at all but I see the news is wall to wall with it.  Seems to me to be the end of an era of respect for the British Monarchy.  Elizabeth came from a different era and time and had an interesting life story.  Charles however is as dumb as a rock and will further diminish a unique aspect of being British.  

I did see one funny story told by her bodyguard.  Apparently she was walking with him near Buckingham and came across an American couple that didn't recognize her.  While chatting with her they asked if she'd ever met the queen.  She replied that her bodygaurd had many times and they did a picture with them.  After they walked off she quipped that it was going to be very funny when they showed that photo to someone that would recognize her.  I can't imagine her children or grandchildren having that level of humility or sense of humor.
