I've been quite surprised at the extent of the coverage to be honest. I'm not a royalist at all, and after 15 minutes of watching the news yesterday, I feel as though I learned more about this guy in those 15 minutes, than in the 50 years I've been around. He's the husband of the queen who we used to see on the news occasionally standing there shaking hands, waving at people etc. All of a sudden we're finding out there was a bit more to him than that.
It shows how nationally huge it's going to be when the queen croaks.
