Britons 'coming towards the end of an era' with Queen Platinum Jubilee: Ex-Archbishop

Lord Rowan Williams of Oystermouth spoke to BBC Newsnight this week and briefly

touched upon how the 96-year-old shaped his view of the monarchy during her reign.

Lord Williams told the host: "There is certainly a widespread

sense isn't there that like it or not we are coming towards the end of an era.

The era of that steady visibility of the Queen in our public life.

"We are going to have to cope with other ways of thinking about her and she's certainly

never been a Queen Victoria, retiring to a dignified and sad remoteness,

that is not her style."
