It's past the time Charlie should be king. Arrogant old woman

Do you take the same stance on other Royals.

Or do you hold your tongue in fear ?

Just a comment:

The British people don't have draconian laws on what you can and can't say about the British Royal Family. So you can legally say what you want without fear of being arrested or put in prison.

Edited to note that this has already been covered. !

But Thailand does and the lese majeste law covers foreign heads of state as well - so Queen Elizabeth is covered.

freedom of expression is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately some citizens will never know real freedom of speech.

Yes I can agree there, but slating some thing that does not concern you to bait people from that country is not on. We can all slate other countries so let's not get started down that road.
As for the British Monarchy, it's older than some countries on this planet. So let's show a little respect. Especially if you are not even British
