Queen Elizabeth Death Discussion Thread

[Donald H]

Why is there more attachment to Britain's queen in America than in the British Commonwealth.

Then Americans talk of 'the queen', there's no need to wonder 'which' queen they're referring to.

What is America's big attachment to royalty?

Why do you care?

The fact that the entire family is going to Scotland indicates the end could be near.

Doesn‘t look good

She had an historic realm

She was a good queen.

She was there for WW2. I just thought about this yesterday, but everybody I knew that lived through The Great Depression is now dead. Before they died, they told me a lot about it, though.

Are you drunk?

Have you ever taken a Latin or Law class?

Maybe respect. Elizabeth has been an amazing queen. I saw her from atop my dad's shoulders in 1952.

As queen, she watched a Terps football game here at Byrd Stadium and visited my local supermarket in Chillum, MD. Before I lived here and before I was born.

Sad....she's been queen my entire life.

I remember when she was coronated.

Elizabeth and Phillip, together again.

I don't know that I would call their head of state stable. They seem to change prime ministers like underwear. Plus, it seems like they can pretty much call an election whenever they want, can't they?

The Queen is the Head of State, the Prime Minister is the Head of The Government. By British Law, the Royal Family cannot vote in their elections. Nor are they suppose to engage in political campaigns, though the Late Lord Mountabatten believed the occupation of Northern Ireland to be wrong. Ironically, it was the I.R.A. that placed a bomb aboard a fishing that Lord Mountbatten was using. The resulting explosion killed him.

She had a helluva ride

RIP Lilibet

I was thinking that she was ready to go after Phillip passed.

Queen Elizabeth II dies at 96, Buckingham Palace announces

Queen Elizabeth II, the monarch of the United Kingdom and head of the Commonwealth, has died at age 96, Buckingham Palace announced. The queen died on Thursday as members of her immediate family rushed to be by her side, including her son and heir, Prince Charles.

"Like Queen Elizabeth II ascended the throne in 1952 when she was just 25 years old. Hers is the longest reign of any monarch in British history. In 2015, she surpassed the record held by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, who spent 62 years on the throne."

Not any more.

You know Trump will try. He will go nuts if Elizabeth is on the front page for 48 hours. She was repulsed by Trump.

What kinda shitbag takes an opportunity to bash Trump in a thread about Queen Elizabeth dying? A serious shitbag type, that's who.
