Lexington woman born, raised in London remembers Queen Elizabeth

There is a town in Kentucky. The late Queen Elizabeth had some personal ties to the bluegrass.

One woman who was born and raised in south London moved to Kentucky.

For as long as she can remember, the queen has been an important part of her life.

She becomes part of the conversation when you see her so much, according to the owner of Chevy Chase Coin Laundry.

When Princess Diana died, she visited Buckingham Palace to pay her respects.

The streets were full of people and flowers when her family was there last week.

Being from there, until I was 20, it means a lot to me to be respectful and watch that, and not in person, but to watch that and pay my respects on TV.

When she came to Kentucky for school, she didn’t realize that there was a little bit of home in the bluegrass. The queen was fond of horses and would go to the races there.

Mills said that it felt like a part of her was still here.

People likeMandy admired the Queen, but not everyone did the same thing.

Professor Opal Palmer Adisa says they are not mourning the queen’s death. She was born in Jamaica, a country that was ruled by Britain for more than 300 years.

Adisa said that the British government and the queen had made a lot of money from them as African people.

Mills understands that people have their own opinions on the monarchy.

They might have had bad experiences with her. I don’t. Mills said he respected that they have those feelings.
