Queen Elizabeth II, 1926-2022

[daftandbarmy]

A patriotic hymn and I imagine, being both the Head of State and no doubt involved in the planning, she could have requested it, but as head of the Church of England I assume she/they stuck with whatever is in the Church's hymnal.

Well, actually, because she is/was 'Defender of the Faith', I believe she is able to direct what the Church does to a certain extent.

A bit of an aside to the thread, but our earlier discussion of Her Majesty and the RCMP led me to two articles, depending on how much time and interest you have;

RIP Your Majesty

RIP Your Majesty

Well, one lyric in "God save the Queen" worked out. Long to reign over us. RIP your Majesty.

Just a thought but maybe Megan is NOT the angle Oprah et al make her out to be? Maybe just maybe she's a toxic b!tch?

If three if your four kids are divorced, one begged his lover to be her tampon, another hit you up for $12m in hush money for his past repeated interactions with a convicted human trafficking pedophile... I'll suggest that if your grandson and his wife draw healthy boundaries that despite what the gutter press may suggest that he and she are not the problem.

…and after a family spokesperson said The Family had no issue with a BIPOC individual marrying into the family…

 

[Remius]

I thinks there are likely issues on both sides.

Not sure how they can trust Megan and Harry who seem to have no issues monetizing in public fashion what goes on behind the scenes and using personal internal family strife or issues to do that.

I wouldn’t trust them.

She was BIPOC like for two seconds after they married and moved to Cal. I wouldn't have even guess it. It's so.....urgh

 

[OldSolduer]

Well, technically it was the drunk Frenchman driver/insecurity guard…

And conspiracy theories are still out there

 

[daftandbarmy]

Of course...

When in doubt, the British blame France

The more I read about the Monarchy and Megal Markle show the farther I hope we move from the crown.

Markle certainly sounds like she's channeling Julie Payettes style of leadership.

King Charles gives of a really weird vibe. And I don't just mean privileged white male vibe

 

[Brad Sallows]

Disfunction on the two sides doesn't have to be "either".

Perhaps it's time to close the chapter (thread) on Queen Elizabeth and start a new one on King Chuck and how the monarchy will be perceived while he is on the throne. The results of her parenting aside, she was a remarkable woman of, and for, her time. I have a feeling that we those who will be around to similarly comment on his reign won't be as complimentary.

Agreed.

Her Late Majesty could control her adult children about as well as she could control the swans in the entirety of England.

Their stupidity was not hers. Time will tell if His Majesty the King will deal with the skeletons in the closet

 

[Bruce Monkhouse]

I agree. If anyone wishes to start a new thread on the Monarchy, have at 'er.
