EA’s David Dunn joined India’s Hindustan Times on Friday to discuss the future of the UK monarchy following Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Thursday after more than 70 years on the throne.
Charles has been groomed into this role. He has watched and learned. He joked recently that the British monarchy is like monkeys: you learn by watching your parents.
Iran greets queen’s death with official silence: https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220910-iran-greets-queen-s-death-with-official-silence
“Tehran has avoided official comment on the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but some Iranians expressed outright hostility, accusing Britain of having supported the late shah’s regime……..”Among her crimes were helping Iraq’s Baathist regime against Iran (in the 1980-1988 war), the coup against Mossadegh, the killing of Princess Diana, helping the US attack Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001 and 2003, and murdering the people of Northern Ireland.”
UK wil no longer offer Covid jabs to those under 12: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/06/anger-at-plans-to-roll-back-covid-vaccines-to-under-11s-in-england
“The JCVI says young children are at very low risk of developing severe disease from Covid, while most will have gained natural immunity from infections.”

The decision to reduce the number of children who are offered Covid jabs has prompted outcry from parent groups and academics….
Prof Christina Pagel, of University College London, criticised the move.
“JCVI itself considered there to be a benefit to young children to be vaccinated – even if most of them had already been infected,” she said.
“There is also the additional benefit to children of providing additional protection from developing long Covid, missing school during the acute illness and reducing transmission to household members, other children and teachers.”
Elizabeth’s II’s early years were marked by interventions overseas and violent repression to preserve perceived imperial interests:
1952: The Queen’s government begins the crackdown against the Mau Mau rebels in Kenya which involved atrocities and torture en masse.
1953: The Queen’s government helps ovethrow Iran’s democratically elected premier, Mohammad Mossadegh, who had nationalised the oil industry.
1954: The Queen’s government wages war against elected Omani leader, Ghaldi-al-Hinai, on behalf of the Sultan of Muscat to secure oil wells in the interior.
1955: The Queen’s government violently opposes the uprising of Cypriots against British rules which involves rape and torture by British forces.
1956: The Queen’s government wages war on Egypt, with the support of France and Israel, over President Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez canal.
The Queen never attempted to advise her government – as she is constitutionally allowd to do – in order to prevent any of the above.
