I've always been extremely thankful for royalty and the royal family, because without them there would be no United States of America.

Or Breakfast….

I know those two posts were juxtaposed by the merging of the threads, but it still made me laugh.

Weird thing is, we are having bangers and mash for dinner tonight, and it has been planned for a week.

She did far more good for the UK than most on OSA have done for their neighborhoods. She will be missed on the world stage.

She was the symbol of decorum and very non political.
Never known to disagree with any of Englands prime Ministers saying she loved them all. RIP
That being said, I could care less about the royals.
We kicked their arse once and kept them from being a German colony twice.
I just don’t see the fascination with them?

Wonderful person and Queen. She become Queen at the age of 25. She had sense, charm and did a wonderful job as the Queen. She has been the Queen as long as I have been alive! RIP!

Call me a curmudgeon but it's no more of a tragedy,,,
Than when my 80-something neighbor passed.

Her family is the only group that should really mourn her passing.

They banned it - guess monarchies don't like free speech.

For me, it’s less of a tragedy than the loss of my loved ones in late ‘21 and early ‘22, but that doesn’t mean I’m not sympathetic to those who feel her loss.

As for mourning, I’m not really interested in telling people for whom they should be mourning, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable for anyone in the UK or even in Commonwealth countries to be mourning the loss of their queen.
