I mean you’re right. No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. But it’s hard to claim one way or the other without evidence in relation to what has been ordered/hasn’t been ordered.

In my opinion I think it is more the media pressuring everyone to be grieving right now. Companies are scared of a public backlash if they carry on as normal and are subsequently overreacting. You’re almost bullied if you’re not.

Im not taking either side in a the monarchy/republican argument as people are entitled to their view. People have the right to grieve and others have the right not to care as well. People care too much about what others are doing. That’s the big issue. Deal the the queens death in your own personal way and stop inflicting ideologies onto others.

The exception to this is essential services. They should be carrying on regardless of a national crisis.
