“[Queen Elizabeth II] became monarch at the end of World War II and helped wind down the British Empire over those years as figurehead, with rarely a misstep. But to these people and these historians, what she represents is a tie to the West, a tie to Western civilization, a tie to a people that used to believe in themselves, [and] a tie to the World War II generation, to people like Winston Churchill,” said Federalist Senior Editor Christopher Bedford on the Fox Business Network. “That’s why they hate her, and that’s why people who are American, people all over the world, can mourn her, because we’re looking at someone who spread across history with grace and with style and with honor and dignity.”
