Mona Chalabi Instagram – Today, millions of people are choosing to honor an institution that has relentlessly exploited others for personal gain. And honor a woman who did nothing to change the course of history. I’m not into it. The queen was born in a year when female life expectancy was 70.6 years but she died at 96. I’ll mourn all the people who didn’t get an extra 25 years with their loved ones because they didn’t have the finest of everything.
