Quote HistoryQuoted: I don't think he's that smart. I do hope he's smart enough to realize that as the Monarch he can't be criticizing Government policy or spouting off about the environment. His job is now to advise the Prime Minister and to perform the other varied duties of the Monarch without causing a fuss. He is not that smart. Were he that smart, he wouldn't have been spouting off about the environment in the first place. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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. Yes, this. I know it is small compared to your loss, but we will miss her too. |

So my American wife (I an ethnically British dating back to 1066) was trying to understand my grief when I said that personally it is comparable to the day my mother died.
I used the following analogy: Right after the Revolution imagine if George Washington had been made King instead of President, Congress would make all the laws, the King would rubber stamp the laws and approve of the appointment of the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate. The role of King of the USA embodies the founding fathers beliefs and the Constitution and today George Washington's great-great-great-granddaughter died after being a respected figurehead and international representative of the nation for over 70 years...... |

She wasn't the leader, she was the head of state. and the UK is far from being hard socialist. Michael Foot as leader of the opposition was the worst, Corbyn was second, but neither was elected, the only Labour Prime Ministers in the last 50 years were Callahan, B-Liar, and Brown, all of whom were more centrist than Socialist. |

Between Friday, September 16, and Sunday, September 18, heads of state from around the world will begin to arrive for the funeral, which is expected to take place on Monday, September 19, at Westminster Abbey.
The original plans are for the Queen’s coffin to process on a gun carriage to the Abbey, pulled by naval ratings – sailors – using ropes rather than horses. Senior members of the family are expected to poignantly follow behind – just like they did for the funerals of Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Duke of Edinburgh. The military will line the streets and also join the procession. Heads of state, prime ministers and presidents, European royals and key figures from public life will be invited to gather in the Abbey, which can hold a congregation of 2,000. The service will be televised, and a national two minutes of silence is expected to be held. The same day as the funeral, the Queen’s coffin will be taken to St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle for a televised committal service. Later in the evening, there will be a private interment service with senior members of the Royal Family. The Queen’s final resting place will be the King George VI memorial chapel, an annex to the main chapel – where her mother and father are buried, along with the ashes of her sister, Princess Margaret. Philip’s coffin will move from the Royal Vault to the memorial chapel to join the Queen. Link |

Personal opinion: Charles is a placeholder and it's the status quo unless he fucks it up by being too political. Charles dies (5-15 years from now) and William is king, it's all good and he can reign for 50 years as an apolitical figurehead (like he should be, and he know it). |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Can you imagine the herd of Corgis waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge? All 30 some.. The Queen had more than 30 corgis over her 70-year reign, but stopped breeding them years ago so they wouldn't outlive her Queen Elizabeth II's corgis were all descended from Susan, a dog gifted to her on her 18th birthday. The Queen's last corgi, Willow, died in 2018 after she had quietly stopped breeding the dogs. The Queen did not want to leave any dog behind when she died, a source close to her said in 2015 |

Charles dies (5-15 years from now) and William is king, it's all good and he can reign for 50 years as an apolitical figurehead (like he should be, and he know it). Ironically while the Queen was sequestered over the last few years and removed from all constitutional consideration, the UK had the most autocratic rule since William the Conquerer, so an inert monarch doesn't equate to a limited government. The British monarch should be animated and have a much greater role in upholding their coronation oath and protecting British culture imo. "Will you to the utmost of your power maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel? Will you to the utmost of your power maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law? Will you maintain and preserve inviolably the settlement of the Church of England, and the doctrine, worship, discipline, and government thereof, as by law established in England? And will you preserve unto the Bishops and Clergy of England, and to the Churches there committed to their charge, all such rights and privileges, as by law do or shall appertain to them or any of them?" Seems like silence and the tacit support for the importation of millions of Muslims and Hindus would go against that oath. |

This isn't Great Granny Elizabeth Windsor dead at 96, it is the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, et cetera. If she didn't want to lead a life intimately connected to the political conditions of those countries then she could have resigned like her uncle Edward did.
