'I feel it is now high time the British monarchy, as an institution packed to the brim with hypocrisy, drop all the royal titles and pay their own way in life' Opinion | DrTalAbdulrazaq
I will not pretend otherwise, but the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who passed away in the Scottish castle of Balmoral, had an impact on me as a British Muslim of Iraqi origins. The Queen has been a constant presence in my life since I was born, and I had grown accustomed to her across almost all aspects of my life, including seeing the words “Her Majesty” preceding the various arms of the civil service.
While I neither mourn nor celebrate the Queen’s death, it is important to understand that, while she was not directly responsible for her governments’ policies over her 70-year reign, she was nevertheless a willing tool and symbol of these establishments who wrought havoc across the world.Aside from other factors, that alone is a compelling enough reason for me to desire to see the British monarchy bidding farewell to public life.
