While this is the year to celebrate your 70 years on the throne, this might also not be the best year to do so, either. There’s a new report that suggests some royal critics believe that the platinum jubilee celebrations are “crass” because of all the economic instability right now. Here’s what you need to know.
According to reports, some critics believe that the royal family’s “grossly excessive Platinum Jubilee festivities” have no place in society right now, especially with the rising cost of living thanks to high gas prices and inflation.
One royal critic wrote by the name of Yasmin Alibhai-Brown wrote, “I am a republican, but I do agree that the monarch’s long rule and her life, which embodies so much history, should be honored and commemorated. And that we should always respect the elderly. But 1,458 public events? Two thousand street parties and private bashes? Pimm’s sales up by 260 per cent? Do they not know there is a war on? And that inflation is leading to unbearable food poverty? That fuel costs are hitting ordinary people who work incredibly hard to support their families? How can the nation afford this?”
She continued, “It’s unfathomable why, with never-ending royal scandals, the Queen’s support for Andrew, the way the Windsors express entitlement and manifest inexhaustible greed. Harry and Meghan – who represented modernity and diversity – were hounded out. Like Diana, Meghan destabilised their ways and values. Both women remain unforgiven by ardent royalists. Diana’s nemesis is now set to be the next queen. This unworthy family sits on top of Britain’s social pyramid, proudly overseeing an unequal, iniquitous system. They should be more mindful, less arrogant.”
Some of the festivities for the queen’s jubilee include:

Omg the woman has spent her life ruling and working for the people of England. If you don't like what the people of Britain are looking forward to then don't show up for the festivities. Right now is the perfect time to have a celebration. It will take everyone s mind off what's going on in this crazy world. It's something to be celebrated. As far as Harry and Meghan they chose to leave, they were not forced or pushed out. It was their choice you cannot be half way in and halfway out like they want to. As far as the royals being out of touch that's hogwash. If anything, they are becoming more in tine to the people thanks to wills and Kate. Geez, people quit making such a big deal about all this. She deserves to be honored.
Let the people celebrate their Queen without quilt. She has severed her country for 70 years!
