Man I just finished this, and it is fantastic. Taron Egerton in particular .. just wow.

We’re talking about heads of state in 1998 here. He also doubtlessly knew women in the UK did. The surprising thing to him (and probably would have been true for many - certainly not all - heads of state meeting other heads of state) was her taking the opportunity to take the wheel herself.

Well, we gotta remember specific things about her, cause she’s dead.

I’d say her privilege had a lot more to do with her being born into a royal family, certainly more so than the inherent privileges you speak of that I (and you?) enjoy just because we were born white or white-passing.

Thora Birch was right there!

Chris Pine jokes, anyone?
