London | Teenager Olivia Burch waited for hours in a queue with other mourners to pay a final tribute to Queen Elizabeth II as her body lay in state. But despite that devotion, she thought Britain should no longer have a monarchy.
“I think it’s gone. It’s too traditional and old-fashioned, and I don’t think we can spend so much money on a family with no more right to be here than anyone else,” said the 19-year-old Londoner, one of hundreds of thousands who waited in line to file past the Queen’s coffin before Monday’s state funeral.
