Chuck and Joe know nothing about duty. They know craven politics and self promotion. They sought the limelight, she had it thrust upon her.
The Queen just was, through thick and thin. She had a wry sense of humor as well. I admire her sense of duty to the end but not only that, she chose where she wanted to spend her last days. She was the most public person but still found a way to live privately and enjoy the outdoors.
In my opinion, she should’ve kept Hong Kong.
She was understated and dignified. She found a way to keep the monarchy relevant through an era of changes, challenges and modernity.
Can Charles and, assuming the monarchy survives, William do the same?

The queen’s passing reminds us how much of the world was once British. 60, 70, 80 years ago, you couldn’t go to Canada without being reminded that it was part of the British Empire (technically Commonwealth, but whatever). Now it takes something like this to remind you.

“The Queen would always stop and say hello … it was clear from the moment we first stopped they hadn’t recognized [her],” he told Sky News.“
Damn.

That level of sheer ignorance may be appalling enough to tamp down the funny in that situation.

It’s hysterical. She must have been mischievous.

I heard the man tell that on TV the other day.
She seems to have been a funny, delightful person in private life. She may have taken her role very seriously, but I don’t think she took herself seriously at all.

Everyone secretly knows deep down that monarchy is the natural order of things. ;-)
