Not a fan of the monarchy, but sad news regardless.

I wonder what’s going thru Prince “soon to be king” Charles’ mind right now?
I’m not really a fan of a monarchy either but she is an amazing human. As practically a little girl, she went toe to toe with Winston Churchill (the guy who fought off the entire 3rd Reich) and held her own. She went hard against the grain to have her coronation Televised and even though she had no need to, studied in college rather diligently just so she could be a better sovereign.

Pretty impressive person.

Whether you hated her or loved her, If you look at the history of Queen Elizabeth she was actually a positive for the country. she acted as a conservative beacon for a often times misguided parliament over the years. When she is gone, it will be felt and not in a good way. The lineup below her are extremely woke tards.

I agree, anything that is traditional for centuries and still preserved is a win in my book. SO many things that were sacred are now just woke jokes. Im so sick of the idiots trying to erase history.

That’s not very nice…try and have a little more respect for people that have stuck around for 96 years.
That have sucked at the gov teet for 96 years. Not gonna happen. The only bad thing that is going to happen is that there will be a replacement to continue siphon of tax money of the brits.

Sad news, she had an amazing run.

My 84-year old MIL is English and the stories she tells us about bombs falling from the sky, and the subsequent food shortages/rationing, helps keep our current situation in perspective.

Canada is a constitutional monarchy and she is our Queen. Shortly after she passes and Charles becomes king. He goes on tour of all the countries he's a monarch of. Canada being the oldest nation in the commonwealth is his first stop. It will be interesting how he'll be received here. The queen is very popular here.

You learn something new every day.

I had always though Trudeau was the queen of Caniduh.

She was actually pretty interesting person if you dig into the history of her interactions with people like Churchill etc. She's been a symbol of stability that will be needed once she is "gone." Charles has about as much spine as a limp noodle. If you haven't seen "The Prince" on HBO it's pretty funny how much they portray him as such.

I can tell you this much, you have no fucking clue what the queen experienced or went through before she turned 20 years old...and very likely had no real idea what she went though in the early '40s. Regardless of how she came out of it, she made it...and that's commendable. Post of picture of you standing over the queen's casket with your middle finger up....until then, I'll not take you seriously.

Simmer down douche bag she wasn't your mom or queen. The monarchy served it's purpose and out lived it a long time ago. Every one of those welfare recipients should have been kicked out and forced to provide for themselves long ago.

The end of another era.

Be interesting to see if Parliament wrests control from the weak royal family now.

My Wife came here from England at a young age with her family, unless you have lived with someone from there it's impossible to understand the reverence people have for the Queen.....RIP, Hell of a run.

As I previously mentioned, not really into royalty, but I’m even less into Joe Robinette Biden. By my observation, it took him an Hour and Ten Minutes to even make a statement about her passing. I always thought Great Britain was our closest ally. May she RIP.

Same. My wife is Canadian. As Americans we have no concept of what the royal family really is or does.

So...I'm a douchbag and a worthless idiot.

noted.
The worthless idiot comment was directed at the welfare recipients that make up the monarchy but yes the douche bag was directed towards you.
