A remarkable life well lived. And a life of service literally to the very end. I'm somewhat surprised by how much it has affected me. We all knew it had to happen but that doesn't help now.

The end of the good ones. A lady with morals in a family and a world with very few.

King Charles III. shudder

The legitimacy of the royalty died with QE2. Charles has done good things and we can’t knock him too much. It’s a case of someone born into something he really didn’t want to but has rose to the occasion and did what he was told marrying Dianna. He’s enough of a woke cuk but his offspring are what I worry about especially Harry and that glory ***** of a wife. I see it now fading away like the other royal families of Europe. The untold wealth they hold has long since been hidden so what do they have to lose.

Grandma always said, if you have nothing nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Grandma and mom are from England, the Queen was the most important people in their life, me, I really don’t get it.

Elizabeth represented all that could be good with a monarch in my mind. Charles gets a bad wrap but I truly think he never really wanted to be there. Think William is where it’s at. Just my opinion.

Standing every morning and looking at the picture of Her Majesty and singing God Save the Queen all through elementary school made me a life long loyal subject.
I guess that what was intended.

The monarchy serves it's purpose for those who identify with it.
George the VI remaining at home during Britains darkest hour meant something.
It may have had some diplomatic voice at one time. Doubtful much anymore.
The mindset of subservience has a legacy that rankles as much as anything and explains our political mess.
I personally don't identify with the monarchy in any way. Should've ousted them here 200 years ago. Ho Hum.
Sympathies to her family.

I think the British King being the head of the Church of England, instead of the Pope, brought a different perspective into the Monarchy for many Brits historically.

Charles has lost much of the moral authority that Queen Elizabeth 2 had… certainly changing the perception of the authority of the spiritual side of leadership for the Commonwealth.

Very interesting times… Charles has swallowed the climate warming fiasco hook line and sinker… organic farming… with a more radical liberal political bent, perceived differently than Queen Elizabeth 2 for certain.

For this reason I believe that the influence of the British Monarchy will diminish significantly. Strange how PM Trudeau all of a sudden falls in love with the Queen… insincere looks like to me.. yet Charles and Justin may be like 2 peas in a pod… which may be driving the rhetoric…

Cheers
