Wow, what an apologia. Out of curiousity when is the last time you saw the Queen and consort in Church?
Personally - about 2004. I am a friend to a couple of the Queen’s children, not to her herself, and while I am an acquaintance, I certainly would not attend Church with her - it’s really more a fluke that I’ve even done it on one occasion. It is a matter of record that Her Majesty attends Church every Sunday. Normally St George’s at Windsor, as she spends most weekends at Windsor Castle.
And, yes, I will defend the Royal Family when appropriate. They have to put up with a great deal of unfair criticism at times from people who have no idea of what they really do.
