  1. I don't think I will ever get used to British royalty laying wreaths in remembrance of those to died fighting the Crown.

  2. They seem like nice people. I actually feel sorry for them, being born into such a constrained public life.

  4. I think I need to clarify what I meant by my comment. Given the history between the two countries, it is still astonishing to me to see members of the British royal family laying wreaths in remembrance of those who fought against those who served what these royals represent. The Irish freedom fighters were considered to be committing treason against 'the Crown'. I welcome that things have changed. It is a sign that relations have matured and I hope they continue to do so.
