Here’s a little bit of what the Mirror had to say.
Some commentators pointed out the vast disparity between the Queen’s opulence and the real-life situations of her ‘subjects’ as she called for people to come together [and] not be riven by tribalism.
Which is one point of view, of course. And here are a whole bunch more, our favourite 22 responses.

Are you just now learning that the QUEEN OF ENGLAND is wealthy? Like, you just wish she recorded in front of a slightly plainer area of one of her massive, magnificently-appointed palaces? https://t.co/Gpv0Z0nank
