God save the king. It just sounds strange after 70 years.

What a crass, completely inappropriate, rude, obnoxious remark.

…………though not the first — seems to be an “Obvious” pattern.

Not true. She did a lot for the many Commonwealth countries, diplomacy & the U.K. She always tried to build bridges between people.

Funny criteria.............an opinion of monarchy is a crock and Charles is a joke = bad person.

Wow.

I wanted to say something about the Queen this morning……….

You so perfectly said what I have been thinking. Thank you.

She was an amazing woman through all of it.

One of the greatest of The Greatest Generation.

I would just point out that, it may appear that the British monarchy spends a lot of money, but their entire budget is about $120 million per year. By comparison, the White House budget for staffing, travel, and security is $1.4 billion. That is about 12 times as much.

the united kingdom mourns the death of its queen as if a family member had died. The pomp and circumstance of the next ten days and the gathering of nearly all the world's leaders should surely demonstrate that it was never about time or money. The queen was the soul of the uk . She earned that by being a wartime princess, soldier and queen heroine to her people.

The Queen was an amazing woman...heck, an amazing person. She was thrust into a job she really did not want, but was born into. She served her nation with grace and distinction for longer than a lot of folks live. Whether you agree or disagree with the concept of Royalty, her dedication to her country and her countrymen is admirable.

I was at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal. After dinner, my boyfriend and I made our way back to the hotel, The Queen Elizabeth, and there were crowds of people just standing around in the lobby. Tom asked me what was going on, I said I don't know but they appear to be waiting for something. So, we waited with them, I swear not a minute later the elevator door opened, the crowd parted and Queen Elizabeth walked out!!!! OMG. When the crowd parted I found myself in the front row, and she passed within a foot of where I was standing, diamond tiara and all. It was quite a thrill.
