I’m still gobsmacked she was able to ingratiate herself with the royal family. All it took was looking for and securing the correct connections, which she did so well. Very calculating. Too bad she missed the ultimate goal of William. She was not in the correct circles at the time and had to go with a different plan.

That’s what I worry about. Of course, if he does inject himself in political issues, he will not be loved as a King.

Thank you for clarifying. I guess the 1953 coronation is what the news articles meant when listing the date of her beginning.

Some queens on this side of the pond.

Markle is a small woman. She has no class. She is bitter. She is a pure narcissist.

I couldn't care less about the British Royal family. However, she seemed to be a decent classy woman, but the squabbling will go on for years amongst her heirs. So who is the King or Queen of England now?

The bigger question is will Biteme or Obambi actually bow at the reception or whatever? I want to watch Obambi now bow to our most loyal ally. He didn't when he met her but did bow to the Saudis and other lessor potentates. This should be interesting.

Queen.

There are three types of Queen.

Queen Regnant - A reigning Queen

Queen Consort - The wife of a reigning King

Queen Dowager - The widow of a deceased King.

I think we mourn more the World that has passed since Elizabeth’s reign began. Truly the last link to the old world.

RIP Liz. You are the last British monarch I had any respect for.

I didn't think she'd live long after Prince Philip died last year. It's a shame the throne had to be passed down to her POS son.

Now, out of respect, and the rest of the family abdicate?

They should. It is obsolete anyway.

Stress over family conflict probably didn’t help her.
