London Bridge is Down?
Is this it for QEII? I suspect the end is near if it hasn't already occurred. I'm putting my money on Charles becoming King George VII rather than Charles III.

I’m hoping it’s king Tampax the first.
Haven’t had one of those names yet. But it’s his dream.
I’d like to see his dreams realized for once.

I know the monarchy is flawed but I will miss her for whatever reason. Like her or not it will def. be a huge changing of the guard for the world.

Yup me too. She was like the grandmother who lived across the pond. Someone who was always there no matter what.
I get it - familiarity breeds contempt. I've never lived in that the UK. I don't know the politics of it all but a country has just lost their monarch. Barring that person being Idi Amin it's a blow. Disorienting. Sad.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something. To do something." Rep. John Lewis

Snuck in the approval of one final prime minister before she passed. Working it right to the end.

RIP badass
The Monarchy is flawed in many many ways and likely will crumble with a simpering fool like Charles in charge, but lets remember the Queen was a badass. Heard and read a number of stories over the years, but this is a good one
King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia died in 2015, age disputed but well into at least his 80s. His death sparked a number of stories about his life, travels, and interactions with foreign heads of state. One such “interaction” was with Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom.
While still a Crown Prince, Abdullah visited the Queen’s castle in Scotland, Balmoral, in 2003 and she offered him a tour of the place. When the cars were brought around and Abdullah got in the front passenger seat, the Queen herself hopped into the driver’s seat.
Turns out the Queen knows a thing or two about bombing around in a motor vehicle. The now 91-year-old monarch served with the Auxiliary Territorial Service during World War II.
As Princess, she wanted to join the women serving as drivers, bakers, postal workers, ammunition inspectors, and mechanics to free up men for the front lines. She remains the only female member of the royal family to join the military, and is the only living head of state to serve in WWII.
Not only did the Queen get into the driver’s seat — she didn’t even hesitate before turning the car on and rolling out. And as an Army driver during a war, she knew how to roll along Scotland’s winding roads.
British diplomat Sir Sherard Cowper-Coles recounted for The Sunday Times that during an audience with Her Majesty, she told Coles that she was talking to Abdullah the whole time, even as he pleaded for her to pay attention to the road.
Queen Elizabeth II doesn’t even have a driver’s license. As Queen, she doesn’t need one.Last edited by Woodsy; 09-09-2022 at 09:39 AM.

Not a fan of the European monarchies in general, but she was our head of state - RIP.
I do wonder with her passing how many more members of the commonwealth will seek to leave. Charles definitely does not inspire me and most others I know who might give a shit. We will see.
