The Queen is Undead

Mummy of Lady Rai, nursemaid of Ahmose-Nefertari, herself queen of pharaoh Ahmose, discovered in a Theban Tomb in 1881. End of 17th-beginning of 18th dynasty; now in Cairo Museum. Stolen from Wikimedia Commons.  Queen Ahmose-Nefertari, not looking a day over 3,500

I remember only too well the hysteria after Princess Diana died.

The rank corruption of people who had mocked or despised her, suddenly turned onto its head... The mobs of angry little Englanders demanding not only that the Queen publicly mourn, but on their terms... The disgusting spectacle of making two teenage boys march solemnly behind their mother's coffin, just to sate those utter morons... 

And then there was that deep fear that if you were to say or do 'the wrong thing' your career, and even your well-being, could be in danger.
