Long live the king
 

i believe andrew and harry were secondary issues. I believe hrh charles caused her the most worry and concern as his private life subjected the monarchy itself to scorn and derision. I pray that the king will make amends to his subjects by enforcing good behavior from all the royals so that future king william will be given a fair start when he succeeds his father. I cant wait for william to elevate his mothers title the first time possible after his fathers own funeral. I think then princess diana can be at peace and a monarchy healed.

God speed lilibet
 

i highly recommend the series, the crown, for a better understanding of queen elizabeth 2's
almost 71 year reign.

Sorry, I can't take 12 days of this Queen Elizabeth coverage on television.

I may need to break out my Columbo, Perry Mason, and maybe even my Mr. Bean DVDs.

As a Brit I would say studiously avoid the show.
It has about as much credibility as a $13 bank note!

Princess elizabeth ve day
 

Did it really happen?
Maybe the queen's memoirs will reveal the true story

Who can say?
 

my condolences bill².
I only want to give totv members a choice.

RIP Queen Elizabeth II. You served your subjects well.

I'm glad Charles didn't change his name. He could have used any one of his four given names. The Royal Family does have some odd traditions.

Nicest welfare queen on the planet! She accepted her charmed and nearly responsibility-free life with grace, humility, and gratitude instead of perpetually whining for more handouts and special treatment. She was the finest example of how a welfare recipient should behave, but somehow I doubt that the behavior of our welfare queens would improve if we made them all billionaires, like she was.

I really appreciated her as the totem of the greatest and most benign empire the world has ever seen. Never has there been an empire more dedicated to the improvement of the lives of its foreign subjects, and we will never see the like of it again.

But why on Earth England chooses to squander billions of its wealth to support a layabout family of welfare recipients from Germany in high style is a mystery for the ages.

As a great man once said, "The well of the stupidity of the human race has never been plumbed".

Hip, hip hooray!
 

for the queen, and our most loyal ally, the uk

Charles cheated on Diana, with that ugly Camilla. That says so much about him. Maybe he'll give up the throne to his son, the eldest one.

Love Mr. Bean. Throw in a lot of James Bond movies. He is very British.


The British Royals are very much still a big part of how the people there view their history.

Was an honor stationed in the UK for Twelve Years. At a time when President Reagan and Prime Minister Thatcher were winning the Cold War. The Queen was well respected and was a Leader to be honored.

When someone can't understand or accept, always easier to take shots and demean.....the arrogance of the human race.

The Royal family gets paid $125 MILLION dollars per year by private and public money. What exactly is the scope of 'work' that they do to justify sapping their taxpayers so much??

It is written that, "
Between 1690 and 1807, an estimated 6 million enslaved Africans were transported from west Africa to the Americas on British or Anglo-American ships. The slave trade was protected by the royal family and parliament.

It is difficult to estimate just how much of the current royal family’s wealth is owed to slavery, but it is understood that the profits of the slave trade funded the Treasury, as well as Britain’s industries, buildings, railways, roads and parks.

According to Prof Corinne Fowler, an academic at the University of Leicester who specialises in Britain’s colonial legacies, the royal family “has an opportunity to show leadership by acknowledging its involvement, making a formal apology and asking openly and humbly what the family can do to begin to repair the damage”, and a first step to moving on “might be to decide that the Queen should no longer be ceremonial head of state”.
