There was one thing I couldn't understand about public reaction. Why did they expect the Queen to return to Buckingham Palace and make speaches to the public rather than stay at Balmoral with her grandsons who had just lost their mother? I'd have been more disappointed in her if she had abandoned her family for the sake of a public appearance. The press reports that she didn't care how the public felt were unfair. They'd have had more of a go at her if she had appeared not to care about how William and Harry felt. She couldn't have won at that time whatever she did but I believe she did do the right thing.
