It's a good thing they mentioned that finishing up early thing, especially since you didn't bite on the "closed for a week" thing.
Since I'm in the USA, I don't have the attachment to the royals or what they are up too, but I did think the Queen was such a good woman, or at least her public persona made her seem that way. Charles on the other hand... well... out of respect for the Queen I'll leave what I think about him unsaid.
I think everyone thinks exactly the same thing about the Queen and get erstwhile son. He is a nob.
At least, apart from being hideously wealthy they don't have any real power!
