Elizebeth was part of the Greatest Generation. She served as a truck mechanic during WW II. It is a real shame to see how far her country has fallen since them.

Unless he has the longevity of his Mother, and Father, he won’t be on the throne long.

[dfwgator]

That’s about how long my kids think I spend on the throne each morning.

Martin Luther spent a lot of time on the throne too. Wrote most of the 95 Theses on it.

[dfwgator]

She’s a pretty nice girl.

70 years on the throne

Man, get some Ex-Lax or somethin', will ya?

[jjotto]

Goofy Charles will have more to do with ending the monarchy than muzzies.

[telescope115]

I have always admired the Queen and Prince Philip.
She’s been on the throne a couple years longer than I’ve been alive.
A real classy lady. It’s too bad the rest of her family is nuts….

>>She is the ONLY world leader who spent time in the military during World War II.<<

Extant, yes. Of course, across the pond, Eisenhower, JFK, LBJ, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Bush41 had military service during WWII, though none are alive today.

[EvilCapitalist]

Agreed. I suspect more Brits will become Republican(like Oliver Comwell) when Charles becomes King.

“She is the ONLY world leader who spent time in the military during World War II.”

It’s interesting that the royal family is required to
serve time in the military.

The fact that people still think that she is somehow Royal, and deserves some special treatment, based on her birth right - literally ridiculous.

[dfwgator]

Tourists are money.

[Reddy]

Of course, all I know about her is what has been written historically, but it seems she is a decent woman who loves God and loves her country.

Her son, Charles, and his skank wife will be horrible for the country, so.... long live the queen!

[MurrietaMadman]

They live

[heavy metal]

wonder how many times she cut the cheese while sitting on the throne for 70 years...

[DJ MacWoW]

Charles wanted to marry Camilla but wasn’t allowed to because she wasn’t of high enough birth and he’d already had sex with her. Government rules usually destroy peoples lives.

[mewzilla]

Spit’s hit the fan now.

The Rottweiler will be queen.

Chuck broke his word on the morganatic marriage.

This is what the Windsors get for not breeding them for brains.

[EvilCapitalist]

It’s a natural bodily function, so I’m willing to be more than a few times. Though probably none as embarrassing as when Brandon cut the cheese in front of Camilla.

[DJ MacWoW]

Charles doesn’t resemble either of his parents character-wise. He’s more like his Great Uncle David, a spineless, selfish weasel.
