The big question is how many dead queen threads will we see. We're already up to 3. My guess will be a minimum of 7. What say you?

Hopefully the monarchy will pass with her. At least she doesn’t live to see the final collapse of Great Britain this winter. A collapse she helped bring to fruition by silently watching England invaded by third world scum.

Maybe so, maybe so. Since the dawn of time monarchs have made hard decisions to preserve the royal lines. I never gave a hoot in hell about the royals as long as someone else was paying their bills, but if Princess Di did half the schidt she was accused of, dragging the royal reputation into the gutter in the process...I'd see where she would be expendable. But with the dignity the Queen showed over nearly a century, I think they would have found a way to send Di off to a private sanatorium until she recovered her mental stability or learned to knit.

Snuffed Epstein most likely, to protect the Monarchy from it's pedophile prince being further exposed.

The Queen held no legislative authority. Exactly what would you have had her do? In England the Prime Minister and Parliament hold virtually all the power and set the laws/policies. The monarchy is just a figurehead with very little actual power.

My mom will remember this day, she went skydiving again this morning. Before that she had called my cousin in England for an update on the Queen’s condition.

Fortunately Elizabeth did not pass away before the jump.

My mom is in her nineties also, remembers the war, the sound of Luftwaffe engines, falling bombs. Her father, my grandfather, was a fireman during the Blitz.

So her reference point on the Royals, Elizabeth’s generation at least, is the war years.

This is a day tinged with sadness for her.

Prince Harry has joined other members of the royal family at Balmoral Castle in Scotland following the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II's death.

The 37-year-old Duke of Sussex was photographed in a car looking somber with his hand over his face.

It's been reported that Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, stayed behind in London.

https://www.foxnews.com/entertainme...nd-announcement-queen-elizabeth-ii-death

I hope that dipchit Prince Harry is contemplating what fool he has been. He threw the family heritage overboard, just to appease his slut wife and join the Obama/Winfrey crowd. While disrespecting the family and British royalty history. But, he is (or was) getting his stump blown every week-end. Maybe one day he will grow-up. What will he be thinking now, laying awake at night staring at the ceiling?

We don't always get to pick and chose our obligations in life.

Call me a romantic, but I think having a King or Queen is pretty cool.

And there is no doubt, Queen Elizabeth was one of the best. Class act for sure.

RIP

Can't think why anyone would put Charles in charge of the monarchy. He's a scoundrel of the first water. He pretty much murdered Diana in order to climb Camilla's leg. She must have had some power medicine. I didn't know they could do that but I suppose they can, Henry VIII founded his own religion and murdered his wife.
I'd sure like to have the former Queen's .275 Rigby. It was presented to her during the Blitz I think. We all get old. I never had any gripes about her. I thought she was pretty much of that generation. I don't think Charles has a generation. one wonders if she snuck out one night and had relations with the town drunk or something.

That's not so old. My dad will be 91 in November (God willing), and he's walking around just fine, still sharp. No major health issues. They tell him to always use a walker, but sometimes he tells me, next thing he realizes he's on the other side of the room, and completely forgot the walker. It's mainly a safety thing. He can actually walk without it.

True that, and if I knew a decent Lizzie on the corner that served on the home front in WW2 and liked silly critters, I’d wish her a peaceful eternity as well. This Liz just gets a lot more publicity. Not particularly fair, but what in life is?

Absolutely! She was a lady that was steadfastly dedicated to her people and her country and I respect her immensely for that. I’ve “evolved” my attitude about the monarchy over the years. The people of England are the ones who get to decide how they structure their nation but ultimately I don’t think the monarchy is necessarily a negative thing. The people seem to love their monarchy and I believe that for them it’s a system that works. It offers stability to the people who have known nothing more than living under a monarchy. It provides entertainment and a nod to their history with the pomp and frills of their royal events and it’s a PROUD reminder of their SHARED history….something we’d be wise to think about, sharing in our common accomplishments rather than focusing on our differences.

I always thought that the monarchy was not only wasteful but that they basically rubbed the faces of the commoners in the massive disparity of wealth by throwing such lavish banquets and balls. Over the years I’ve realized that all first world countries have their various protocols of pomp for state dinners and entertaining world leaders so I don’t know if the British are that much different from us in that respect.

If that’s the way the British want to structure their government that’s fine with me. My ancestors fought the British so that WE could decide how WE wanted to structure our government.

A Princess At War: Queen Elizabeth II During World War II
During the Second World War, life changed dramatically for the people of Britain, including the Royal Family.
March 22, 2021
The National WWII Museum

excerpts:

When Princess Elizabeth turned 18 in 1944, she insisted upon joining the Auxiliary Territorial Service (ATS), the women’s branch of the British Army. For several years during the war, Britain had conscripted women to join the war effort. Unmarried women under 30 had to join the armed forces or work on the land or in industry. King George made sure that his daughter was not given a special rank in the Army. She started as a second subaltern in the ATS and was later promoted to Junior Commander, the equivalent of Captain.

Princess Elizabeth began her training as a mechanic in March 1945. She undertook a driving and vehicle maintenance course at Aldershot, qualifying on April 14. Newspapers at the time dubbed her “Princess Auto Mechanic.”

The King and Queen and Princess Margaret visited Princess Elizabeth at the Mechanical Transport Training Section in Camberley, Surrey, and watched her learn about engine maintenance. When describing the visit to LIFE Magazine, the Princess commented “I never knew there was quite so much advance preparation [for a royal visit] ...I’ll know another time.”

On May 8, 1945, the war in Europe ended. In London, thousands of people took to the streets to celebrate, flooding Trafalgar Square and the Mall leading up to Buckingham Palace where the King and Queen greeted them from the balcony. As the light began to fade and the celebrations looked to continue into the night, Princess Elizabeth, dressed in her ATS uniform, slipped into the crowds with her sister to enjoy the festivities. In 1985, the now Queen spoke to the BBC about how she tried to avoid being spotted, “I remember we were terrified of being recognized so I pulled my uniform cap well down over my eyes.” She described the “lines of unknown people linking arms and walking down Whitehall, and all of us were swept along by tides of happiness and relief.” There are even reports that the princesses joined a conga dance through the Ritz Hotel as they celebrated with the crowds. “I think it was one of the most memorable nights of my life.” she recalled.

As a member of the ATS, she was the first female of the Royal family to be an active duty member of the British Armed Forces.

I have no idea what her Covid policy ideas were for the masses. Or how it meshed with British thinking overall. Being in her mid 90’s and a figurehead when Covid became a thing she probably followed public policy doctrine but who knows? As long as someone doesn’t try to force it upon me I couldn’t care less how many fancy flu shots someone else has.

A classy woman that with the exceptions of Thatcher was better than all of the PM’s that have passed through in her time.

The British are paying to subsidize the 1 royal family while we’re subsidizing every politician and their royal families including ex presidents and ex congresscritters …so which one is smarter?

Exactly

The big thing that the UK has going for it is tourism. The Royal family, castles, and historical sites. It more than pays for itself. Take that away and it’s just another European nation overrun with Muslims.

Yep, Tucker hit it out of the ballpark 😎

The British weren’t kicked out of anywhere, the Empire fell apart because of their own innate decency.

Support for our own revolution among the people in England itself played a significant role in England’s decision to cut its losses and recognize our independence.

Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth!

Honestly I had no idea so many people thought so much of her
I have never really paid attention to the "Royals"

It was a good clip of Tucker Thanks for posting DMc

I am just sickened by the mind numbed robots that destroy public statues and that it is allowed

Or hopefully, casual visitors to this website won't see and take your post as a measure of the type of individuals that post here. It has nothing to do with "bowing down", but here, maybe this will help you:

It’s very illuminating to see so many black people on Twitter and other social media platforms celebrating the death of the Queen and claiming that they want to dance on her grave.
When Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 London was almost completely white, it was a homogenous city that represented the indigenous people of the British Isles. By 2022, the year of her death White Britons were a minority in London, the city had been claimed by migrants and its character, culture and the daily life of its residents had totally changed, becoming foreign in many ways.
Queen Elizabeth never made any protestations against these changes, in fact, on multiple occasions, she welcomed them and even told White Britons to embrace them.
Yet now, in the aftermath of her passing, the people she watched colonise London, the people she welcomed into Britain, the people who she smiled upon and told White Britons to accept, many of them are celebrating her death, condemning her and wishing the vilest things upon both her and her family.
I think there’s a lesson to be learned somewhere here…

London Bridge Has Fallen Down

Now the 10 days of Shutdown begins. Is this the 10 days of darkness Q told us was coming? [D] day has occurred. This is D1. On D10 (IIRC) the Queen will be buried.

Patriots are in control. We will have our country back.

As Q said, "The Queen protects the King." The Queen is down.

Trump has honored his promise to the Queen to not move against the King and take down the Royal Family Criminals until after the Queen's passing.

The torch of the Lion of Judah has been passed.

In 10 days, let the games begin.

GOD Bess America.

Now you know why Trump created the so called Faux-Pas of walking around in front of Queen Elizabeth on his visit.

She was carrying the burden of knowing the British Empire had fallen.

Trump and the Patriots were now in control. Trump let her bow out gracefully.

Want to show us where I said we were at the end time or, is as your way, do you just want to sound cute even if it means being a liar and slander others.

I love it when scum does lie, and lie scum will.

The old man who used to run the local pool here is getting buried today. I’ll miss him. I never met the Queen of England. Don’t give a chit about her one way or another. I can’t wrap my head around why any other American does.

RIP. My condolences to her family and country. I thought she was a pretty cool old broad. A looker back in the day. Her son Chuck however, is what happens when inbreeding goes wrong.

I never said that you said it was the end of times - I said I hope it's not the end of times again. You seem to read things that aren't there.
