Don't take a stage actor for the character he plays. Its all big theatre today. Enjoyable theatre, and nobody plays especially this stage play like the British Royal theatre company does. Superb performance, great show. But its theatre nonetheless.

The Queen performs 'ceremonial' duties only, having relinquished any real power many years ago.
The one question I sometimes ponder over is should there ever be a revolution in the UK (fat chance of that of course) which side would the military take, Crown or Political?
I suspect Crown.
