While the novella received mostly positive reviews upon its release, the story was highly criticized by Courtney Milan, a former Director-at-Large for the Romance Writers of America, in a series of tweets in 2018. Anderson won the Contemporary Romance category for The Nanny Plan (2015), a novella that explores the relationship between a billionaire and a Native American heroine (Romance Writers of America GoodReads). Madam, I have had the honour and privilege to be one of your crown servants and hope to serve your son King Charles III for a long time.Representations of Native American Heroes During the 1990s and the 2010sĪt the 2016 RITA Awards, author Sarah M. Your Majesty (Boss), you will be forever missed and respected by all your loyal subjects and the envy of all state heads on how to be in the back ground and still LEAD from the front. May I say, I saw her as a woman of strict formal values and virtues but behind closed doors the loving mother, Grandmother and great granny that every family should hope to have, the wicked smile and eye twinkle and such a sense of fun.

I know that the closest I would ever come to that would have been an invite to her garden parties but alas that never happened. I have often joked with my wife about popping to the "big smoke" and getting the boss to pop the kettle on for a tea and a chat.

Her Majesty has effectively been "The Boss" for over 30 years for me and I have been proud to serve. I joined St John Ambulance in 2015 until this present day with her as our leader. I continued this in 1991 upon joining Royal Fleet Auxiliary until ill health retirement in August 2021. I entered crown service in 1984 upon joining HMS CAMBRIA, South Wales Division Royal Naval Reserve. Her ability to reach out to her subjects, through her television broadcasts and her public speeches, and appearances were instrumental in making us all feel a part of one big royal family, envied around the globe. For me Queen Elizabeth II has been simply THE Queen.

I have listened to her Majesty’s Christmas message every year on Christmas Day. The Queen has been the monarch throughout my life – always a source of stability & wise words. The whole country and Commonwealth came together in a spirit of enormous celebration to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee – 70 years of unwavering service to her people. In 2022 she celebrated her platinum jubilee at the age of 96.įifteen British prime ministers have served under her, plus the many prime ministers, former prime ministers and leaders of our Commonwealth countries. She ruled this great country for 70 years, surpassing the reign of Queen Victoria. The Queen was a truly remarkable woman and her death has created a feeling of enormous loss.
