Tony Blair: UK monarchy is "unifying" & "supported in British society"
Tony Blair: After Queen’s Death, UK Monarchy Still “Pretty Safe” | GZERO World
September 30, 2022
Tony Blair has fond memories of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Speaking to Ian Bremmer on GZERO World, the former British PM recalls what it was like to meet her for the first time. His first impression: deep respect for her historical experience.
For Blair, the queen was pretty much the only constant feature of life in the UK throughout all the social changes the country has seen since she was crowned in the 1950s.
To those who view the monarchy as an outdated institution, the former British PM says: don't worry, it's safe.
