Ramesses the great ruled Became Pharaoh at (I think) 20 and lived until 92. He reigned 72 ysars.

I hadn’t realized she was near death. I thought she did a
pretty decent job in her role.

I suspect we’re about to find out how decent she was as her
follower comes on board and embarrasses everyone frequently.

Thank you for that picture of Reagan and the queen.

Maybe she trained him up well.

Since she died in Scotland and so 'Operation Unicorn' went into effect as "London Bridge is Down" was communicated and understood by those in the know.

To think she actually greeted the New Prime Minister just two days before her death evidenced her commitment to her duties.

Is that a tire pressure gauge poking out the top of Phillip's sock...?

Turns out to be a ceremonial dirk.

Illegal in UK for peasants.

And in all fairness, Elizabeth ascended the throne as an adult. while Louis XIV was a toddler.

Seems like it doesn’t it.

The queen was fond of President Trump.

She died in Scotland on the Nativity of Mary (September 8). Presidential Trump’s mother was from Scotland (a British subject) and her name was Mary.

Identical matches in the four base Gematria ciphers:

Nativity of Mary: 198 .. 72 .. 180 .. 81

President Trump: 198 .. 72 .. 180 .. 81

Gematria coding can be found in just about every world event.

You really ARE stupid, aren’t you! Just how was Queen Elizabeth supposed to stop ANY modern trend? Heck, at least GB is starting to push back against the transgender evil....

No doubt what is being said of her in Britain and other nations is pretty much true - she was a consistent and deeply commited Royal to all those who looked to her in her role as Queen.

I don’t think Charles can even come close to filling her shoes. ....likely the Brits see him as treading water until William takes over. Highly favored.

Interesting how she went out so unassumingly.

Scary to think of what Charles will say or do now during these tumultuous times.

I understand Harry didn’t get there until after she died. Though the rest of the family were there. He’s likely a mental case again. Seems he has it rough when comes to deaths in the family.

That rings true with me.

Honestly, I didn’t even want Charles to get his turn.

He was always a bit of a blithering idiot > IMO.

I could be wrong, but Charles has never impressed me with any
savvy related to leadership.

I’m not convinced she was overjoyed about his reign either.

Sometimes people rise to the occasion. He certainly has a great example to follow.

Then Louis would have had a Council of Regents ruling in his name until he reached the age of majority which I believe was 16. So take 15 years off of his reign.

Monarch covers either king or queen.
