i get that Louise is a royalist, and that the death of the Queen has impacted people differently and to differing extents, for many different reasons - but at this point, i just think she's taking it dramatically out of context as a way to increase engagement. she is fully aware that posting questions about whether people are "ready" for her to return to SM, and whether it would be disrespectful during a period of national mourning
will increase engagement, as people respond to her poll and message her to reassure her that it's totally fine. i am not doubting the fact that she feels sad - it's not a reaction i can relate to personally, other than the natural sadness of someone dying and a family losing a grandmother/mother etc - and that it is a significant moment in history, but many influencers seem to be exploiting the Queen's death as a way to create content and/or as an excuse to take time off, justified by not creating content out of "respect". admittedly though, Louise has taken it way beyond any other influencer, blowing it out of all proportion and her reaction is extreme and excessive and ultimately ridiculous. it doesn't reflect the reaction of the overwhelming majority of the population, as generally speaking, people have far bigger things to be worrying about.
she will undoubtedly refrain from posting any content on monday, deeming it as disrespectful to share content on the day of the Queen's funeral, and claiming she needs a day of reflection because she's feeling so emotional. i do think that whatever family issues she keeps vaguely referring to may be exacerbating her reaction and feelings of grief, as she is obviously feeling emotionally overwhelmed, but it's incredibly annoying that she is continually dropping hints about the "family stuff" that's going on, despite clarifying that she won't be sharing any details - if it's a situation she wants to keep private, it's entirely nonsensical to reference it at every possible opportunity, and it's very obvious she is doing so in an attempt to increase engagement, knowing full well that her followers will respond with messages of sympathy and support.
