and bring up to four guests with them, and yet the people who work for those officials, including hundreds of Parliament cleaners and security guards, were still required to line up. The pause in admissions only intensified people’s fury at this display of elitism. Meanwhile, some of England’s more enterprising citizens sold Queue wristbands for $400 on eBay, which was not making anyone feel better about walking in a line for 22 hours straight.
In a dispatch from Hyde Park on Sunday, the Cut’s deputy style director, Joanna Nikas, heard from several women who survived the queue. “She was a beacon for women in a very male-dominated world, and unfortunately for the next five decades, we are going to be ruled by men again,” said Sue Clark, 57, who was leaving flowers in Hyde Park. “I sing ‘God Save the Queen’ quite a lot. ‘God Save the King’ doesn’t trip off the tongue in the same way.
Clark was there with her friend Shan Fletcher, 59, who, a day earlier, traveled 3 hours and waited 13 hours in the Queue to see the queen’s casket. The next day, Clark brought her granddaughters Alana and Sophia so they could leave flowers: “The girls are here because they will see three monarchs in their lifetime, but only one queen.”
“We have so much to put up with as women, and at least when she was there it felt like we had a bit more standing in society because we were led by a queen,” said Clark. “I worry that it might be eroded now.” Clark waited ten and a half hours in the queue. She finally got to see the queen at 5:20 a.m. and afterward went straight to bed. “I was awake for 29 hours and standing up for most of that. The whole experience was quite overwhelming.
