'This England'

I said goodbye without shame or glory, with the assurance that I will not repeat his vision, of the last season of

Everything was still very careful and some chapter is brilliant, but I have the feeling that the old state of grace had abandoned it.

Maybe it's because I knew the cloudy and sad story between Prince Charles and his wife Diana by heart.

And I miss the spectacular actresses and women who played the young and mature Princess Margaret.

Also his tremors and his maneuvers before a monster that nobody knows how to stop.
