Yeah people are talking like she's got years left in her, I think she's had a good run at 96 years old and 70 years of rule..

Nick H. Supervisor Posted September 8, 2022 Supervisor Share Posted September 8, 2022 What's concerning is that it is being reported and the family are going to Balmoral. That's not a cough... I made a joke to my friend the other day that we now have 2 Lizzie's running the country. Maybe I spoke too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenon Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I just learned that Charles can change his name to what ever he wants. He can now be called King George or whatever. I wonder if Charles will keep the name or change it. From BBC "King George VI’s real name was actually Albert. Two previous monarchs have been called Charles." So he would be King Charles III if he keeps his name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthdci Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 RIP your majesty. This image has choked me up. I am no royalist, to be honest I always thought I couldn't care less about the royal family, but I have shed a tear or two tonight. My heart really goes out to her family who couldn't make it there to be with her, it sounds like she deteriorated pretty quickly. +foolsfolly, xrobwx71, Xenon and 3 others 3 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim K Global Moderator Posted September 8, 2022 Global Moderator Share Posted September 8, 2022 RIP to Her Majesty.

Good Bot, Bad Bot Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) This would seem like a good time to just end the whole monarchy nonsense and keep the fantasies to books and TV like the Game of Thrones. No one is fighting or starting a war over the crown, King Charles III didn't like go and marry his sister or a princess from France. Boring!

MarkTay Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I live in England and have only ever know there to be 'The Queen'. To now be in the reign of King Charles III is really quite weird. I'm not a Royalist, but I can't really fault 'Lizzie' and her years of dedication to the UK. +foolsfolly and +E.Worm Jimmy 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please remain respectful, you can open a new discussion on if the Royal Family still has a place in the UK if you want, but please don't hijack this thread with nonsense like "now she's gone let's dismantle it".

NinjaGinger Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I have to admit I'm not a great believer in Monarchy, but she did a good job with what she had to do. She will be missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
