It exists to make money for England. There is no real political power on paper, at least no more than any regular celebrity speaking out on political issues.

Theoretically it is ceremonial.

A true and utter fricking dumbass could try and claim differently.

Can’t wait to hear her podcast episode where she talks of the problematic decisions the Queen made that enabled systemic racism to flourish in the colonized world.

Seriously. Does anyone else not care about this shite, but is fascinated by the fascination people have for the Royal Family?

She basically was born at the height of the British empire

I wonder what her true feelings are on its downfall

Existing for 96 years as a meaningless figurehead and seemingly never deviating for a second in those 96 years from your meaningless figurehead protocols? Seems kind of miserable actually.

Hate to break it to you, but William (Prince Pegging) is as big a flake as his father.

wonder if Elton John will try to milk a hit song out of this one too.


I would if I was him. Guaranteed millions.

"You lived your life like a candle in the wind." needs some work though for someone who made it to 96.

Pay attention in school? There’s no real power to mess things up out side of vanity projects and procedural things in the government.

any chance Britain goes in to civil war over succession? What if some French baw from Normandy claims the throne and tries to invade?


Maybe it’ll be like GOT and we get some dragons. The Dothraki savages have already conquered London anyways

I have not seen it mentioned but was Prince Andrew going to Balmoral or is he balls deep in some 15 year old?

I'm admittedly not a QE2 fan, but she's seen a lot.

She also presided over the dismantling of thr British Empire, and the island won't be British for much longer. But she's seen a lot.

No doubt. I’ve been waiting/wondering all my life to see what would happen had she died, how they would handle it. Always assumed Charles and Lady Di would be King and Queen but that changed decades ago.
