RIP.
Queen Consort Camilla. ....Oh lord!
Can't wait for the next version of Punk rockers from the UK come up with a song for this.
She is definitely at the top of my list of people that I would have loved to have shared a meal with. History will remember her fondly, if for no other reason that she ruled almost as long as Louis IV.

She hasn't had any for a while. I don't think. She knew it wouldn't be advisable given her advanced age.
edit: looks like she still had one corgi https://metro.co.uk/2021/03/07/why-d...have-14198355/

Welp, there goes my chances at a QC!
She was like Canada's grandma.
We probably kept the monarchy mostly because of her.
Now that she is gone, it can go as well.
God Speed.

Think about all the coin designs that need to be rejiggered now...
I'm sure there are minor things to quibble about, but I think by and large Elizabeth comported herself with grace and dignity. She will be missed dearly.

other than security when the royals visit I don't think they really have any effect or cost Canada $
Canada was always self governing but major changes could only be made without Britain since 1982 as I understandLee Lau - xxx-er is the laziest Asian canuck I know

Well this post is certainly bringing out the ugly in people. Always a let down when you see behind the curtain.

Fuck the King. Charles is a soggy wanker.
Fuck royalty in general, but especially fuck Charles.
At least Elizabeth II was a classy lady. RIPOriginally Posted by blurred

This will be my last memory of her. I enjoyed this for whatever reason... Seemed like a nice lady. I don't want to know the dirt. There's plenty of that to pin on Charles where it belongs...
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

At least they don't end up with King Randy Andy and Queen-consort Fergie.

It's not much but it's not nothing:

I suppose the real question is why? There are some benefits I suppose- the visits bring out the tourists. Having a head of state outside the country makes us less American. There is maybe a benefit to having a escape hatch from constitutional crises etc.
But with that comes the not being a true democracy (on paper if not practically). All the Vice regals, Lt. Governors etc. etc. And basically having King "I wanna be a..." Charles as head of state.
Time to let it all go.
(With apologies to my Grandma who was a very loyal subject- and would not want me mentioning the then Princes' proclivities)
