She’s 96. Of course she is dying we all are.


What I would concern myself with is the monarch’s that follow her are going to be social justice folks. But we shall see how heavy the head is that wears the crown.

But maybe not as far as Megan because if she was too much for all of them maybe there is some sanity there.

BBC canceled all shows until 6pm

They're all wearing black and black ties

I am glad my mum wont be able to trick me like when The Queen Mother died. She took me up to London on the premise we were going to Hamley's to buy me some toys, but instead when we got there we stood in a line for 5 hours to look at a coffin, and then went home. All I got was a comic book from WH Smiths.

Even though everybody would hope, in their hearts of heart, that God would save the Queen, maybe this time, the inevitable shall arrive...

Very concerning, i fear this may be the end of the Elizabethan era in the United Kingdom.

Queen's first PM was Churchill and first president was Truman, amazing.
for all my life it has been one queen.

With her kids and grand kids coming to visit it sounds like they are coming g to say goodbye. Well god speed to her. Not really a royalist but she seemed alright.

BBC staff having black ties kinda ruins the suprise

London chatter is that they offed her already, announcement at six

I'm compelled to ask why? I can't recall off the top of my head anything she's done except exist (which unfortunately is more than enough) to earn their ire.

Probably some shit like "eat the rich" "destroy the monarchy" anything edgy really

The stupid thing is, most of em won't be British nor understand the royal family generates alot of money for the UK coffers. I'm not a royalist by any means, but I recognise how valuable the monarchy is to the UK.

Edit - Quick look owa there and saying she's a parasite and that aswell. Pathetic really.

As an American, its always a little strange to see the reverence for the Queen since I don't think we will ever truly understand it. But she didn't do anything to me personally so we're cool. RIP. Will be interesting to see a King I guess.

It's probably all about that Meghan bullshit that no one wanted her in Buckingham Palace and someone called her kids the N word.
