Yes. We owed her no allegiance, but her lifelong service and exemplary behavior earned our respect. God bless Her Majesty.

Yes, because she was a good woman.

Like Maggie T, I am very sad over the loss.

RIP. Indeed a class act.

And it was nice seeing her at the Angels-Mariners game.

Rest in peace, dutiful Queen.

It is a shock to see her go when she looked so lively two days ago.

what is wild about this is that now they have to worry about Meghan and Harry’s nonsense as they try to deal with all of this. Netflix going to be trying to get a box seat to all of it.

The world has lost a great woman who deserves the admiration and respect of all.

And I just realized, this is the 10th anniversary of my sister’s death (party today), so I’ll never forget when QEII died.

Royal funerals are unreal...

Keeping in mind that at the funeral of Queen Victoria
all the heads of Europe were gathered together for the
last time before WW I.

Charles the eco-king and his queen consort Camilla.

How far Britain has just fallen, in just minutes.

God rest good Queen Elizabeth, the last of the adults remaining in the UK.

Some say interesting things may begin to happen on the world stage such as Australia finally cutting the strings and declaring themselves a republic. Not sure how much of the commonwealth was just window dressing to assuage the loss of the empire after WWII or not. Didn’t understand what I thought I knew about it nor bothered to study it much to learn more.

Wonder what name prince charlie will choose? He is now free to become the mouthpiece for the WEF. Wait for it. We will now have one of the world’s ugliest first ladies as his queen. Better she had been a horse?
