The institution of Monarchy is to blame, ultimately, but there was a lot of adverse comment on GB News about the lack of need for her to have an escort for her journeys.

If she went in an ordinary car, driving herself, I doubt anyone would know, or give a toss, who she was.

put that isn't the case, is it? Like it or not, royalty and high profile politicians are potential targets.

The lady was killed by the Police not the person they were protecting.

In the old days it would be called an accident.
The problem with being retired is that you never get a day off

Unless it was you or me driving than it would be a death by dangerous driving charge.

Royalty should have to take their chances but she's not a household face so she could have gone on public transport & I doubt she'd have been recognised.

Anyway the bloody motorcycle outriders weren't for her protection, that was the job of the accompanying cars, they were there to clear the plebs out of the way so she wasn't inconvenienced

It's certainly caused some adverse comments in the news channels & by some politicians & by her family.
