Quoted: The world would be a better place if people in power loved their country like she did. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Can't say I'm the biggest fan of the British monarchy, but there is no doubt she has lived a life of dedicated and selfless service ...to her people and the institution. And I am sure that road has never been easy, especially in recent years. I wish her peace. The world would be a better place if people in power loved their country like she did. Amen |

Quoted: Hell of a thing. ETA: Okay - this is odd. I just realized that my entire adult life every short run mintage from any English mint has had QE II on the obverse. It's going to be weird - very weird - seeing anyone else in her place. View Quote When i grew up there were plenty of coins with George VI heads and even George V. So her head is likely to remain in circulation for a decent time. It's worth also remembering her likeness on coins changed over time too. |

Quoted: Literally nothing in that statement is correct. View Quote It's stated all over the internet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_land For example (wiki) Canada See also: Land ownership in Canada Within Canada, Crown land is a designated territorial area belonging to the Canadian Crown.[9] Though the monarch owns all Crown land in the country, it is divided in parallel with the "division" of the Crown among the federal and provincial jurisdictions, so that some lands within the provinces are administered by the relevant provincial Crown, whereas others are under the federal Crown. About 89% of Canada's land area (8,886,356 km2 or 3,431,041 sq mi) is Crown land: 41% is federal crown land and 48% is provincial crown land. The remaining 11% is privately owned.[10] Most federal Crown land is in the territories (Northwest Territories, Nunavut, and Yukon) and is administered by Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada. Only 4% of land in the provinces is federally controlled, largely in the form of national parks, Indian reserves, or Canadian Forces bases. In contrast, provinces hold much of their territory as provincial Crown land, which may be held as provincial parks or wilderness. Crown land is the equivalent of an entailed estate that passes with the monarchy and cannot be alienated from it; thus, per constitutional convention, these lands cannot be unilaterally sold by the monarch, instead passing on to the next king or queen unless the sovereign is advised otherwise by the relevant ministers of the Crown. Crown land provides the country and the provinces with the majority of their profits from natural resources, largely but not exclusively provincial, rented for logging and mineral exploration rights; revenues flow to the relevant government and may constitute a major income stream, such as in Alberta. Crown land may also be rented by individuals wishing to build homes or cottages. |

Hopefully Charles will be half the man she was. Sadly, I doubt it. He's a globalist malthusian. So was she. I don't mean to speak I'll of the dead and you can't really call it that because she did it willingly but she sat on the throne while her empire fell. It went from the sun never setting on the empire to hardly more than a time zone. It was her choice to sit back and let it happen. The throne doesn't really mean anything now except to the people who get easily distracted by pomp and circumstance. |

Prince William as the new Heir Apparent picked up a few extra titles today.
He was Duke of Cambridge, Earl of Strathearn, and Baron Carrickfergus (titles given in 2011 just before his marriage). He gets to keep all those as also gets the titles associated with the heir: Duke of Cornwall, Duke of Rothesay, Earl of Carrick, Baron of Renfrew, Lord of the Isles, and Prince and Great Steward of Scotland. He also now owns the Duchy of Cornwall and it's 131,000 acres of land along with all it's revenue. He is not yet the Prince of Wales or Earl of Chester as they don't automatically go to the heir, those titles are now merged with the Crown and vacant until Charles decides to grant them to someone (and by convention since 1301 they have always been conferred on a male Heir Apparent). |

Sad day. Very sad day. It was clearly going to happen, sooner or later, but still sad.
My grandparents, et al. would almost certainly be dismayed and disappointed that I feel that way, but it is what it is. I didn't walk in their shoes and they were gone far too young to see me walk in mine. RIP to them all. Perhaps they can have a pint together on the other side. |

Diana was enough for me. Never want to see or hear about it for so long like her funeral. Didn't we kick them out twice? There is no royalty here, just a bunch of elitist globalist prices.
Not going to watch any of it. Sure the MSM will cover it to cover up for uncle touchy. |

I'm actually sadder about this than I thought I would be.
Attached File As the Queen for 70 years, she was a driving force behind the special relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States. In one notable example, on September 12, 2001, the Queen requested that the Star Spangled Banner be played during the changing of the guard at Buckingham Palace in a show of solidarity with the U.S. after terrorist attacks killed nearly 3,000 innocent people on American soil. |

To our British cousins. I was deeply impressed by Queen Elizabeth when she ordered the Cold Stream Guards to play the Star Spangled Banner at Buckingham Palace after 9/11/01. My condolences to you all at your loss.

She seemed like a classy lady from what I've seen and it seemed like she was universally loved by the Brits. My condolences to our British friends. God save the queen! |

Classy and very much supported a positive US/UK partnership. She played our National Anthem at Buckingham after 9/11 as previously mentioned above. Very large gap in the world stage with ehr gone.
