Well, I for one hope this is just a ruse she has planned carefully to get Harry to her bedside ...so she can punch him in the face.
But if not, I hope her family can give her comfort after giving her so much pain in recent years. She deserves at least that much after a life of service in a gig she never wanted. |

Apparently the family will take motorcade instead of helicopter. So an additional hour of travel after they land. (speculation by BBC based on weather not being good)

Very strange.
My source is UK Police. And the time stated, 2.40pm was very specific. Hmmmmmmm. |

Quoted: German? Dude, she's more English than you are American. View Quote Saxe Coburg- Battenburg and other houses. Shes German alright. BTW I also have British citizenship. Ive been there many many times. Ive toured all her houses and castles that are open to the public. It wasnt till over the years the more I read the more I changed my opinion of her. Either way theres no denying whatever kind of person she was that she sure did put in a lot of personal time for her subjects in thousands and thousands of events she attended. |

No offense, but had anyone called Miracle Max to see if she's dead or mostly dead?

At least she served her country. Seemed like a nice lady. I’m sure she will be sorely missed. I’d rather have her as queen indefinitely then the kiddy diddler Charles.

Quoted: Camilla actually isn't that bad, she got completely vilified by the media yet she turned out to be less of a whore than Diana was. View Quote I have been trying to get my head wrapped around this too. I think your correct. Her and Charles were in love from the beginning, he just could not marry her because she was a divorcee IIRC (don't recall if there were other reasons) and he would be King one day, hence head of the Church of England and that was a no no for them. So he married Dianna whom he didn't love but checked all the boxes. None of this is Camilla's fault. I just can't get myself to like her and don't think she should be styled as the Queen Consort. Maybe give her some other Dutchess title or something like that but not Queen. |

Quoted: You already know it going to be a party like 1999. Those are two classless bitches. No comparison! View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Let's wait and see how respectful members on this board are when Pelosi or Hillary passes away. You already know it going to be a party like 1999. Those are two classless bitches. No comparison! And on top of that every American living or recently departed have been personally harmed by those two evil hags, along with Americans not yet born. Hillary and Pelosi have not made a positive impact on anything for our country. Queen Elizabeth has done more towards fighting the scourge of fascism, and socialism than most of her detractors. Myself included, and I would wager you as well. |

Quoted: True to a degree, but it's still an important symbolic post. Queen Elizabeth embodied the spirit of the British people and was a beacon of class in a world that really needed an example like that. Royalty is obviously foreign to us Americans, but I think there's nothing wrong with respecting the tradition and the sense of history that go with it. God save the Queen. View Quote Well said. She has does a great job of balancing traditions and also trying to adapt to a changing world and nation and evolve the monarchy to be able to survive. All the time staying away from politics. She was devoted to family and duty to the nation and its people, an example many other national "leaders" here in the US should try to follow. I thought she may make it to 100 too, but with her health seeming to be declining this year and the recent death of Prince Philip I knew this was unlikely. The boadcasters on Sky news are already wearing dark clothing so not good sign she will last long. |

Quoted: I have mixed feelings about her but it is the end of an era that I don't think we will ever see again. Charles is not even close to her league. View Quote They voted out of the EU why not vote out the monarchy? Repatriate their lands, end their salaries and pensions. Maybe then the country can improve their economy and end oppressive taxation. |

It's kind of mind blowing to me that, in the last 185 years, Britain had 3 Kings who reigned a total of 51 years, and the 2 Queens who bookended that period ruled for 134.

Can't stand the royal family in general (see Harry and the pig he married for example), but I've always admired the Queen for some reason. I'm sure she has passed or is about to quickly. I'd imagine they would let the family gather before making that announcement or removing life support.

That woman had 70 some years to make a difference, to help guide that country on a better path. She did not. All she did is protect her cartel.
I don't wish for her death as she has not personally wronged me, just the people in that absurdly named United Kingdom. But neither will I mourn her. |

Reportedly, BBC news anchors wearing black jackets and black ties (indicating a death) was described as "premature" So clearly some people in the UK did believe she was already dead. I guess it's POSSIBLE that she already is, and they are holding the announcement until the family is gathered at Balmoral. |

Quoted: Another self-important ass like RBG who thinks they are so important that they fail to relinquish their position and die in office. /media/mediaFiles/sharedAlbum/surprised-681.gif View Quote You do realize that's how monarchies work, right? It's not really anything new. Look, I think the whole monarchy system is stupid. They're just rich figureheads that don't really DO much as far as running the country. They're politically neutral, and strictly symbolic. That being said, she got stuck in there when her dad died. She could have probably refused, but she did what she thought was best for the country I suppose. She seems like a decent person. |

2.40pm BST. The moment England lost their best patriot. Rest in peace. Edit - possibly a fake news thing - fucking trolls That cartel leader is literally not their best patriot. I see no accomplishments from her beyond protecting her cartel. Pomp and circumstance do not count. She was for continuing the status quo of her position and the continuing status quo of her descendants, not for improving the future of the people of that country. 70 plus years of retarding progress. You will not be able to provide accomplishments. |

It will be a sad day when she does go. Been very proud to have lived all my life under her reign as a "New Elizabethan" & served her in a few small ways in the military & civil service. I doubt the coutry will see a monarch of her like for several centuries to come! God Save the Queen |

I believe that the UK is our greatest ally and I have served with the British Army on deployment and call several good friends. I introduced one to his now wife. That said, why are you "very proud to have lived all my life under her reign"? What were her accomplishments beyond pomp and circumstance? That she did not have any personal scandal beyond her husband who would not honor his vows? There certainly was no executive leadership, that attribute is really the only possible reason for a monarchy and was removed by your political system. Is is a longing for the Age of Empire? I do not mourn her death but I will not cheer it on as I respect our allies. |

Listening to a UK radio station - Harry is attending Balmoral but Meghan is staying in London.
I imagine she will hate not being the centre of attention - relegated to the sidelines. Attached File |
