Shagger Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Just got told about this from my better half. Honestly, I won't shed a tear. I have little love for the royals, frankly the most significant thing Queen Elisabeth II did for Scotland happened about half an hour ago. Not that I'm happy or anything, any death is tragic and my respect and condolences, but I find it difficult to feel sorry for a woman who lived a life of obscene opulence and luxury up to age the age of 96. The only tragic thing about this is that this idiot is now king. Gonassis, killamch89, Justin11 and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say I'm neutral at best. 😁 but.... this is a funny picture though. 🤡🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It's sad though, no matter the age at which 'Queen Elizabeth gave up on life, I felt so sorry about her demise. With the information I got from various sources online, she was a good queen during her reign as a queen of U.K. I just pray another queen emerge and continue on that good leadership.

Crazycrab Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 (edited) for anyone who is interested there is a livestream of the Queen's Coffin Procession, as of this post they just left Balmoral: It will actually go right past the back of my house at some point.

The Blackangel Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 There were rumors here in the states that the queen had tried to convince Charles to abdicate so that William could take up the throne. I have no idea if there's any truth to that, but it would be interesting to see happen. Also in the rumors, Camilla was pissed at the thought. Shes a power hungry social climber, no different than Meghan Markle. If Charles makes her queen, I see the entire UK in a hell of a lot of trouble. Elizabeth never made Philip king, so Charles should by all logic, have the right to decide if he wants to make Camilla queen. There are tons of rumors about the royal family here. If Kate had had as many children as was reported, she and William would have about 30 kids, a lot of which would be twins and triplets. Americans are well known idiots, and these rumors just prove that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Honestly - I don't have much to say. However, I don't get why it's such a big deal when the Royal Family hardly did anything for the Brits especially the lower class. Why is it that when anyone asks what has the Royal Family done for their citizens, it's always something half-assed and vague. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's typically that way with every political leader, or politician in general. Some can point out a couple things, while the majority either can't or won't.

Heatman Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Well, she lived long enough and it's something that shouldn't make anyone sad. Over here, we celebrate her life well spent and not crying about it. It's when one dies so young and full of life that it becomes a heartbroken experience for the family.

Coming from a country that the English enslaved until the 1800s and gained our full independence in 1962, most of us don't really care all that much.

You can imagine how most African countries feel about that. We were milked and sucked dry. Do I need to talk about the involvement in African slavery? Mhen, it's horrible!!

Justin11 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 I wouldn't think 'Queen Elizabeth II reign dated back when Africa was undergoing slavery. Even if she died at the age of 96, dead in no cost shouldn't be celebrated. God created us to leave forever if not for the sins of our first parents. Queen deserved to be mourned for, her people loved her that's why they paid her maximum respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
