Richard Cohen – Elsa's Travel Blog on Paris https://elsastravelblogonparis.com Sun, 27 Nov 2016 08:34:51 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 Paris Trip Day 21 https://elsastravelblogonparis.com/paris-trip-day-21-2/ https://elsastravelblogonparis.com/paris-trip-day-21-2/#respond Mon, 28 Nov 2016 12:00:57 +0000 http://www.elsastravelblogonparis.com/?p=11658 Read More]]> Monday. I have already started to worry about protesting in London and dread going back to the States. I am worried about how British people who see me protesting outside Buckingham Palace will react. Prior to my situation, I had always loved the U.K. My mother was part Irish. My father talked about him being an Anglophile. I’ve always loved the British people and their way of life, and as a city girl, I’ve always loved London, though Paris has always been my all-time favorite. Princess Diana was my favorite person on earth, and she helped me find myself. I even wrote a letter to The Washington Post after Richard Cohen wrote a disparaging column on Diana after her death. [Here is a link to that letter, but The Washington Post has it jumbled with other letters to the editor above it. It starts with “I AM 36, THE SAME AGE DIANA WAS…]

I just can’t help wondering: If the British people knew how Queen Elizabeth II has sacrificed my branch of her family tree for her financial and other gain, would the British people want justice for my mother, father, his family and me, or would they side with the Queen, just because she is their monarch?

Salut !
