without the queen. but it's also been her remarkable combination of temperament, judgement and composure, essentially. that has proved to be such a kind of focal point of british identity because in a way the queen has found a way to represent what we consider to be the best of being british. stoic, dutiful, humorous in her own way, unflappable, and she has never stepped over the line. after all of these years, we still don't know what the queen thinks about anything. i mean, brexit, who knows what she thought? it is a remarkable strength, the power of the royal silence, essentially. of course, it was only possible for her because she grew up in an age when the media were not invasive. and she could simply be a representationalfigure, much harder today to be a representationalfigure without revealing what you think and feel. there is a lovely scene in your book when you talk about a concert at windsor castle where she is sitting there listening to this concert and you have no idea what she is thinking.

now you say it's all about the queen. we know the queen is still incredibly popular in the u. k. but what about across the common? well, so those countries that were former british colonies, are the royal still considered relevant there? well, it's amazing, isn't it? when you think back that when the queen became queen the empire, the british empire still existed. now it doesn't. however, she is still the head of state of 15 countries, including the u. k. they include australia, canada, newsheel, and, and countries in the caribbean. and that has proved controversial. so for example, at the end of last year, barbados voted to become a republic. so she said the queen is no longer their head of state, and we know that jamaica is also considering the same thing. so big issues for the royals. they tried to woo them by sending a prince william and kate there earlier this year. that didn't go down brilliantly because there were lots of people complaining about the fact that the royals are and britain in particular with 2 involved with slavery in the rest of it. so let's see what happens

the queen would have bothered the queen? ti2 queen is so beyond being bothered by that kind of thing. she knows who she is and she understands that not everybody quite interprets the arcane customs and rules around the monarch in the same way. she has the most amazing manners and manners in her level of life means making someone else feel comfortable. so she would not have minded that. very often these kind of moments are about the courtiers around them who are the ones who are obsessed with status. in fact, the royals themselves are far less obsessed with that than the people around them are. i, ., with that than the people around them are. ., ., ., , , ., them are. you mentioned a sense of britishness- — them are. you mentioned a sense of britishness. how _ them are. you mentioned a sense of britishness. how important - them are. you mentioned a sense of britishness. how important is - them are. you mentioned a sense of britishness. how important is she i them are. you mentioned a sense of britishness. how important is s

and bad kings and queens. and sometimes it's the same person. correct! exactly. but they are not elected and there is no way to get rid of them unless it is a bloody revolution or some other kind of mechanism that few countries have managed to actually successfully do in a bloodless way, so you cannot get rid of these kings and queens very easily, and i think that's what we're seeing is a problem. i've got 30 seconds, yasmin. how much longer will it last as an institution, do you think, in this country? it will...one generation, i think. catherine? the duke of edinburgh said as long as you want us. but it's also, of course, as long as they want to do it, and will younger generations want to do it? great thought to end on. thank you all very much. yasmin, in particular, thank you very much for soldiering on through your discomfort. love your programme. bless you, thank you very much. i hope you love it too at home. that's dateline london for this week. if you do, please come back again same time next week, good
