As a Brit who's never really "followed" the Royals - I gotta say this makes me sad. The Queen stood for so much, in such a dignified way. May she rest in peace
As a former Hong Konger from before the handover but has long ago become American, the news also made me sad. I've always maintained a degree of affection for her throughout the years. I think the dignity you mentioned really helped in that.
Was she? Did she? I couldn't place a single example she set for the country, or moral she espoused other than aloofness and politeness. I'm not sure I would count either of those as a moral.
Her behind doors effects on laws and how they would effect her interests may have set an example[0], but not a positive one.
