She’s 96. Of course she is dying we all are.


What I would concern myself with is the monarch’s that follow her are going to be social justice folks. But we shall see how heavy the head is that wears the crown.

But maybe not as far as Megan because if she was too much for all of them maybe there is some sanity there.

 

[Sybrix]

Very concerning, i fear this may be the end of the Elizabethan era in the United Kingdom.

Queen's first PM was Churchill and first president was Truman, amazing.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

BBC canceled all shows until 6pm

They're all wearing black and black ties

 

[Bernd Lauert]

BBC presenters are wearing black, looks like it's very serious. RIP.

 

[Porcile]

I am glad my mum wont be able to trick me like when The Queen Mother died. She took me up to London on the premise we were going to Hamley's to buy me some toys, but instead when we got there we stood in a line for 5 hours to look at a coffin, and then went home. All I got was a comic book from WH Smiths.

 

[AJUMP23]

Didn’t she form the new government Monday?

 

[Aggelos]

Even though everybody would hope, in their hearts of heart, that God would save the Queen, maybe this time, the inevitable shall arrive...

 

[Azurro]

If she's in a critical state, I'm mostly amazed at how many other politicians she has outlived. We all die one day though.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Didn’t she form the new government Monday?

Yeah so no wonder she's feeling sick

I would too having to meet Truss

 

[FUBARx89]

Sky News has got the black borders and that out like they did for Phillip dying.

 

[Artoris]

I did not recognize her in a recent picture

 

[Lord Panda]

Thought she was on the mend, and was doing pretty well for her age. Always thought she would hit the big 100.

 

[Trunx81]

I can’t go with “King Charles”. It’s just not working in my brain.

 

[ManaByte]

Any chance they can skip Charles and just give the crown to William?

 

[Thaedolus]

Any chance they can skip Charles and just give the crown to William?

Yes, but Chuck’s not gonna go for that

No Edge Lord comments please.

People have the right to be Edge Lords, though it's often in bad taste. I personally think the queen is good for the sake of appearances and hope she recovers, but she's an old woman and it's not a mystery as to what will happen next.

for all my life it has been one queen.

With her kids and grand kids coming to visit it sounds like they are coming g to say goodbye. Well god speed to her. Not really a royalist but she seemed alright.

 

[Senua]

Resetera are loving it!

The fact that Harry and Meghan, who they HATE, are headed there means she’s about to die.

That’s exactly what I thought.

 

[ManaByte]

Resetera are loving it!

They love dancing on graves.

 

[Chittagong]

BBC staff having black ties kinda ruins the suprise

London chatter is that they offed her already, announcement at six

Pahahah. You funny bastard lol.

 

[Chittagong]

I don't think anything can prepare us for the scene of Prince Andrew kissing the ring of King Charles

 

[ManaByte]

Charles is in his 70s. His reign will be short and then it’s William’s turn.

 

[Thaedolus]

Resetera are loving it!

This made me mosey over and what an embarrassing cesspool

 

[Lady Jane]

She's likely dead and no news outlets wants to be the one that leaked that information before protocol.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

BBC will probably get first dibs on that

Might be why they're so serious and cleared the schedule already.

 

[chromhound]

Her time to rest

 

[Dr.D00p]

This made me mosey over and what an embarrassing cesspool

Its party time for the low rent, 3rd rate class warfare left wingers.

The tsunami of hate they'll unleash on Social media when an official announcement is made will be one for the historians to ponder over.

 

[Kilau]

Truly the end of an era. Wish the best for our friends in Britain.

 

[ManaByte]

Wish the best for our friends in Britain.

The “best”.

 

[RAÏSanÏa]

The extended version with imagery.

Long live the Queen!

 

[Artoris]

I don't think anything can prepare us for the scene of Prince Andrew kissing the ring of King Charles

They may need some ice for his finger

 

[Kilau]

The “best”.

I mean more generally. Regarding the whole of the royal family, I have no informed opinion to give.

 

[Jaybe]

I’m glad she survived to the Jubilee. A wonderful celebration of her service.

 

[Wheeljack539]

Resetera are loving it!

I'm compelled to ask why? I can't recall off the top of my head anything she's done except exist (which unfortunately is more than enough) to earn their ire.

 

[MilkyJoe]

BBC canceled all shows until 6pm

They're all wearing black and black ties

Apparently protocol is that it doesn't go public until all family and commonwealth heads of state are informed.

I think she's left us already.

Probably some shit like "eat the rich" "destroy the monarchy" anything edgy really

The stupid thing is, most of em won't be British nor understand the royal family generates alot of money for the UK coffers. I'm not a royalist by any means, but I recognise how valuable the monarchy is to the UK.

Edit - Quick look owa there and saying she's a parasite and that aswell. Pathetic really.

 

[Punished Miku]

As an American, its always a little strange to see the reverence for the Queen since I don't think we will ever truly understand it. But she didn't do anything to me personally so we're cool. RIP. Will be interesting to see a King I guess.

 

[jufonuk]

Apparently protocol is that it doesn't go public until all family and commonwealth heads of state are informed.

I think she's left us already.

I’m guessing this too.

 

[F0rneus]

She's dead.

EDIT. I'm a moron lol. Leaving this here for posterity.

 

[winjer]

She survived WW2, Falklands, several economic crisis, covid and Brexit.
But she couldn't survive one meeting with Liz Truss.

RIP

 

[Sybrix]

She's dead.

Queen Mother you moron.

 

[F0rneus]

Queen Mother you moron.

I know. I fucked up lol!

 

[PaddyOCanager]

As an American, it's hard to grasp what this means for the UK. All my life, Britain has had "The Queen". The thought of there being "The King" now just feels........like a different world.

 

[Stitch]

It's probably all about that Meghan bullshit that no one wanted her in Buckingham Palace and someone called her kids the N word.
