It's pretty interesting. I'm originally from the UK, so I've grown up with the apparent fascination of her in the UK media. The Royal Family is a bit strange, in that their largely ceremonial role in our lives is pretty minimal, and yet there is such a strong interest in the family. It seems to be a largely gossip-y interest, however, so I don't know how important it is.

 

I live in Canada now, and the province in which I live (Quebec) is notoriously less interested in the 'traditional' Anglo-Canadian values. There isn't much interest in anything British here, but that is to be expected with the historical context. More generally, however, I think many of the Commonwealth nations have gotten past the whole British colony thing. I am not surprised when I hear of a lack of interest regarding the Royal Family here - they are just as unimportant here as in the UK, but even less relevant.

That's interesting, I would have thought all the frenchies up in Quebec would be more into the monarchy.

I have a lot to say about the Queen and not only that, their royalty means nothing to me. I'm actually part native and french and my history dates back to when the Hudson Bay Company started getting into the fur trade. Pierre Giroux I believe it was as the HBC trading representitive at the time and had ties to the Queen of England even back then. But in Canada, Pierre and his men began interacial breeding and so it was the Metis were forever born. I can practically see understand the ancestral pain natives say they have today. I look at my people, i look at my Gov't, I look at my people, I look at the Queen, I look at my people, I look at the history... and history is filled with many lies and coverups. If there's anything I think. I think the Queen owes me and my people everything. I think the very foundations of her majesty's home should shake like the bowels of a turmoiled soul until she wears a pony tail such as I. And should that never happen (the pony tail) and the very earth under her home continues to rumble until the mighty have fallen... so be it. Until then I'll just continue to enjoy myself or die trying.
