Be At Peace, Elizabeth, you had a long good Royal life and the boss for so long..

The queen is dead, long live the king!!

I have nothing against her, but I have felt for a long time she was being unfair to Charles. She could have stepped down and not deprived him his due.

Diana should have been the next Queen. RIP Queen Elizabeth. :(

What a long life well lived legacy for Elizabeth II. If Princess Diana was still living by now, she would become a rightful successor to claim the Queen’s Throne.

Very sad ! :( She was the Queen for so long and very beloved ! A very nice lady ! :)

Rest in peace Queen Elizabeth

May she rest in peace.

This was shocking to hear, even though I knew how old she was. Her presence had been such a constant for generations. She will be missed. :(

RIP Queen Elizabeth II

No, only the monarch by right of succession sits on the Throne.

Charles is the first born of the monarch so he becomes King.

If Diana were alive and still married to Charles she would be Queen, but if Charles died before her as King she would not rule as Queen. William would ascend to King and Diana would be the Queen mother, as Elizabeth's mother was after King George died.

Elizabeth became Queen because she was the first born of King George. Her husband became Prince Philip but he did not become King.

They now have King Charles.

Since you keep up on all that stuff, what is the gist of the claims that all of europe's royal families are inter-related?

Very sad.......

The Queen In Rock Music History!
The Queen has met an extraordinary number of stars in her time, but this line-up including Sir Elton John, Sir Cliff Richard, Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Tom Jones and Sir Paul McCartney pictured here in 2012 is hard to top!

I wonder who'll be at Elizabeth's funeral on September 19th?

1000's and I just heard the President of South Korea will attend. And I would think Paul would attend.

The Royal Mail Post Office is being renamed Charles III Post Office, or C3PO for short. :D
(I don't know if it is really being renamed, this was a Facebook meme.)

Oh the Royal baloney, I'm so tired of it.

Is the "Royal" supposed to be better than the Classic?

Not 100%, but it is true. Prince Philip (Queen Elizabeth's husband) was born into the royal families of Greece and Denmark.

It is well known that royals suffer a significant amount of hemophilia due to their inbreeding, although I don't know of any in the British royal family.

Royals do number in the thousands so it's not like there are twenty or thirty of them constantly inbreeding. The impetus to mix the genetic pool is why humans have a built-in aversion to romance with close relatives.

I've heard there is a "thing" going on to call for the dissolution of the monarchy on the grounds that it is emblematic of white supremacy. It's a little more than just superficial resentment, and has roots in prior policy that the crown endorsed.

Many heads of countries are being wined and dined today by the King pre extravagenza for the queen tomorrow. Joe and Jill are there and wonder if Barack and Michelle are...and George and Laura?????

There has been growing resentment at the royal family for years. They're not only super rich; they're supported by the people. Public support for the royal family waxes and wanes, depending on the circumstances. I would think that today it will be at an all-time low, with something like 2 million people coming out for the funeral. The resentment will rise in the coming months, with the inevitability of the press picking on King Charles after a sufficient mourning period. The monarchy actually brings in many more tax dollars than are spent on them.

As far as the 'white supremacy' BS, loony lefties will latch onto anything they can to try to score points.

Reminder to keep threads as apolitical as possible. Thanks :thumbsup:

Slightly altering a line about Generalissimo Francisco Franco from SNL years ago, "The Queen is still dead."
