Royal fans praise the Queen

Taking to Twitter, one said: “The Queen cancelled her Christmas, sat at her husbands funeral alone, sticking to the rules we all had on us, true leader!

“@BorisJohnson party has parties, affairs, eye tests miles away, laughs about it on camera, you’re laughing at everyone while you do different! #BorisResign.”

Another wrote: “Her majesty the Queen leads by example, cancelled her pre Christmas family dinner and not going to Sandringham. Shame Boris and his hoods didn’t show the same dedication to the UK.”

‘Showing what a true leader is’

Another stated: “The Queen is leading from the front again and changing her plans to have a more low key Christmas with sensible measures of her own in place. Meanwhile, #Boris is still checking the data…”

In addition, one branded the Queen a “true leader”.

They said: “Showing what a true leader she is #TheQueen has cancelled her family gathering at Christmas. Well
@BorisJohnson when are you going to do the right thing instead of playing politics with people’s health?”

Praising the monarch, another penned: “The Queen is doing the right thing and leading by example in cancelling her traditional Christmas plans. I’m sure she’s also considering her own health.

“I’m just glad one of our country’s leaders is taking this virus seriously and doing the right thing.”

However, one posted: “How upset am I about the Queen’s decision to cancel her Christmas in Sandringham?? Not a tiny bloody jot. Couldn’t give a two penny!”
