Allison Gaines, the UK has a constitutional Monarchy with little political power. The Queen could make suggestions to Prime Ministers. Much of your criticism would be better directed to British Governments voted into office by ordinary Britains.

Queen Elizabeth spent decades reaching out to all communities, including black people. Like her father, George VI, she would have preferred not to have the job, but in it, Queen Elizabeth rose to the occasion and did exceptionally well. She steered the UK and the world to a better place. That can be celebrated at this time.

Many thanks
