• JUST check that she’s taken her milk in and then, for goodness sake, just leave her alone!

That’s Her Majesty the Queen I’m talking about – to you, the meddling media!

For the past few weeks the press and TV have been constantly on her case about her not going to the COP26 in Glasgow and various other non-events.

And then journalists were on the telly getting the hump because she’d been in hospital and they hadn’t been told about it.

Whether you believe in having a monarchy or whether you think it’s a load of nonsense, she’s a 95-year-old human and is as entitled to respect and privacy as anybody else.

Give her (and us) a rest!
