I remember being literally terrified of the Queen dying. I was convinced it'd be the end of the world, or at least as I knew it.
I swear I blame it on the history teacher that told me that hanging, drawing and quartering was still a viable punishment for treason. I literally only learnt this was bullshit this year.
I was just struck that 9 year old me would have found 25 year old me very grown up, and yet we still have good old Liz trucking on. She's approaching her 60th year on the throne now, you go lady. Hooray no civil war!
