Firstly, I have no opinion on the Royal Family either way. Stay or go - doesn't really impact me.
That said, on the occasions she's had to do politics at all, it's at the request of her Government - and, in her case, it's a request she can't refuse.
So, I was wondering what people think HMG's "biggest ask" has been?
I'd have to go with shaking hands with Martin McGuinness.
I think she was right to do it, in an effort to bring peace to NI; and she showed enormous forgiveness, considering her family's blood was, in part, on his hands.
You can, if you're a Loyalist, argue that she should not have done so; but then your loyalty would be suspect, wouldn't it?
After that, it would be having to put up with Boris Johnson as PM.
A man who has lied to her, brought booing to her Platinum Jubilee thanksgiving service and done more to deepen the divisions in the UK, in just a few years, than any foreign enemy ever has.
Anyway, it's been an eventful 70 years; what else has she been forced to do? |

Most recently or of all time?
For most recently I would probably have to say the business with the Jordanian Royal Family about a year back.
Other than that probably several North African dictators everyone knew what they were doing and I imagine lending her name to them wasn't at all pleasurable.
Maybe a few US presidents with IRA sympathy judging by how fed up I've seen
several Irish PM's(I don't know the plural for Taoiseach) with them. |

Greeting Boris again after she discovered he and his ministers had lied to her over the prorogation of parliament.
She knows who Boris is but has, in the words of Charles only yesterday to tolerate him. |

Not spitting in Johnson's face whenever she sees him might be her biggest achievement. Partygate. Johnson lied over and over again about it + attended multiple law-breaking events. Meanwhile, the Queen sat on her own at the funeral of her husband of 73 years... |

I know and I wonder if she would really love to just give him both barrels before telling him to F off and resign for disrespecting her country.
The patience of a saint? |

Also in their meeting each week would we actually here what was said between both parties it would be kept hush hush I’m sure .
I’ve sat down with important people and told them what I though tv about their methods in a forthright manner I still respected their position but not their methods .  |
