Kindle Notes & Highlights
And when I dash up to my flat to check my personal phone, I already have a message waiting for me from Callum. How could you do this?
What do you mean, Callum? It's fine for you to blab about your relationship but it's not fine for Oliver to make a politically sound decision?
“So, what, you just end a thousand years of my family history and expect me to sail off happily into the sunset with you?” “It’s not personal, Callum. It has nothing to do with how I feel about you.” “Well, that’s where we have to agree to disagree. Because this feels extremely personal to me.”
Because Callum is a barely-grown child and Oliver is PM.
Philosophically, I’ve been an unapologetic Republican my entire life, although my stance has softened after interacting with the queen and also in the last few months after witnessing up close the good Callum has done, the people he’s helped, what the monarchy means to so many everyday people of the UK. From a personal point of view, it gets even more complicated. Voting for the monarchy to end is voting for something that will hurt the man I love. But voting to keep the monarchy will mean Callum and I can never be together while I’m in politics.
