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.

The UK is going to get a king no one wants while the perfect one is staring them in their face. But, again, it won't be a long reign like Elizabeth's was.

 

[LordCBH]

I hope they can make her as comfortable as possible until the end.

 

[Senua]

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

It seems mostly to be about the british empire and also covering up for her paedo son

 

[IDKFA]

Hope she pulls through, but it's not looking good.

I am a absolute royalist, so it's a sad day for me.

[MudoSkills]

Ideally I'd like a day or two off work to properly mourn her passing.

 

[Bragr]

Resetera are loving it!

There is a new trend where radical left-leaning nutjobs celebrate the death of famous people.

It's why God invented plagues, to remove the disgusting ones in our ranks.

Maybe not. Charles could abdicate and pass it on to William. Although it would be unprecedented, it would be the more popular choice. I think Charles knows this, but I personally don't think he'd give up the crown.

 

[NecrosaroIII]

Truly a remarkable woman.

 

[Insane Metal]

I mean... she's like 200... one day she'll have to die.

Hopefully she'll recover tho.

As an American, my ancestral origin story is fighting off the shackles of the monarchy, but anyone would be hard pressed to say Queen Elizabeth hasn’t led the hell out of the UK through enormously difficult times during her tenure.

I’ll refrain from making a comparison of her fortitude to male leaders which would be too crass at this time.

 

[Bragr]

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.

Think Martin Luther King Jr., or JFK, a symbol, someone to unite around. Every nation has it in some form.

He could, but he won't.

 

[Kenpachii]

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

He should skip go straight to williams.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I think old Charlie boy wants his five minutes of fame to be fair.

 

[Davesky]

My dad passed away recently having just achieved his 20 year sobriety. If the Queen does pass she will have made it 70 years exactly on the throne. It’s amazing what the human mind and body is capable off when it truly wants something.

 

[Wildebeest]

Boris is looking for a job, but I don't think just being King is enough for his ego.

 

[*Nightwing]

God save the Queen!

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Honestly it doesn't matter who replaces her

The royals don't have any power anymore they're basically just celebraties who just visit places.

 

[Valedix]

Reee thread is just as terrible as to expect and a reason I left the site.

Wish her the best.

 

[qwertz12345]

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

I just did a silent prayer about 30 minutes ago, and wished that she somehow found the strength to live until 100.

I want her to go to God or the universe and say: not yet, I still need 4 more years.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

What they doing, wishing her dead?

 

[Orta]

I hope they can make her as comfortable as possible until the end.

 

[AV]

I reckon this is it. Long time coming really, she had a good run. Not a royalist whatsoever but she's still a person. All the best Liz.

 

[ManaByte]

Basically. Dancing on her grave with citing bullshit she never did. It's like when Billy Graham died. They had to nuke the thread due to the grave dancing on a "televangelist", which isn't what he was.

Well, yeah. They don't normally summon the firm if its something trivial.

They're letting Harry and Meghan in the castle. She's either already dead or will be gone soon.

God that fucking place. I wish when we were all getting excited about him selling up they'd have just shuttered the place but there you go.

Meghan can tell the Queen that she was in Suits.

 

[Tams]

We knew this was coming, but it still all feels so very strange. She's been a strong constant of the UK for my entire life, and even most of my parents'.

I hope she is/was comfortable and gets/got to see everyone she wants/wanted to.

 

[Valedix]

What they doing, wishing her dead?

Pretty much.

 

[Nico_D]

Maybe monarchy should go with her? But Google tells me ~60% of polled wants monarchy to continue.

But it is certainly an end of a very long era when she dies. Now or at a later date.

 

[ManaByte]

etc

Someone just post in there that the Queen will be remembered forever, and no one in that thread will even get an obituary.

Those morons don't even know she served in the British army, during WW2, against Hitler.

Why?

And that person was promptly banned, I'm sure.

Folks let’s stay on topic and not concern ourselves with the rambling hatred of mentally ill racists on another site.

Mentally ill is the word, seriously. That place is so toxic.

While we wait, lets watch the best movie about the British line of succession:

[Nico_D]

Why?

Good question.

Personally I don't see it being this day how one family lives a luxurious life, government paid, while there are a lot of people who barely hang on.

To me monarchies seem a perfect demonstration of entitlement and how unfair life is depending who you born as. Sure, their lives haven't been easy but neither is regular peoples lives and they aren't able to drop it all and go to Africa or some manor to take a breather.

Monarchy may bring tourists, but I've been three times there and none of those times was to see Buckingham Palace or anything related to it. I went to see theater. So maybe the have done good studies and can demonstrate how monarchy brings in more than it spends but I'm not too sure about that.

I have nothing but pity for those people. It must be a horrible life to live, being so full of hate. I hope they find happiness.

 

[YCoCg]

She's got a legacy as one of the longest surviving monarchs, it'd be a shame if she's died but it has to be expected. The downside is that whoever is up next just doesn't have that status and image, plus there's the fallout of things like Andrew losing his protection which will be dragged through the media as well.

It's odd how a forum so famous for being inclusive and for everyone and yet bans people for the slightest thing can allow a thread full of such hate.

Guess it the Queen was trans it would be different

Their ideology isn’t one of inclusivity though. If you don’t adhere to their beliefs you are subhuman in their mind.

What in the flying fuck did the queen do to them?! From everything I can gather she seems like a decent oerson


Edit: just saw the other post to ignore them. So ignore me for not ignoring them.

Didn't Elizabeth's uncle resigned in favor of her father?
I watched the movie

I'm an old person, the only queen is Elizabeth and the only pope is John Paul II.
