Yes I did see it. I'm afraid I find Leonie Kramer unbearable and thought
most of what she said was self-serving garbage. Still, that's just me being
unfair probably. I take your wider point, though. It seems it will go

republicans out there will find it just too hard to vote for the Queen once
they're in the booth? We'll see I guess....
