What an incredible life though.



I would have never thought she would have made it an extra 30+ years after that time Reggie Jackson tried to kill her at the baseball game...

Isn’t “coincidentally” Harry and Meghan there right now? That’s going to raise an eyebrow for conspiracy theorists.

Her state funeral is going to be unlike one the western world has seen in a long time.


Yeah, it’s going to be bigger than Diana’s. Probably the biggest since Churchill.

The Royal Family generates a profit. Think of it has a real life marketing campaign.

I think they are already there. That being said both should be barred from attending the funeral.

She's the only English monarch most of the world has ever know, a vast majority of the world's population was born after 1952

I really couldn't give two shits about that circus but I wholeheartedly agree, those two are scumbags

I can’t remember if I had her in my death pool this year. Where’s that thread?


I have no respect for anyone who puts a 96 year old in their death pool.

William seems like a bright kid who would do what is best. Charles has always been a spoiled brat who tried to push stupid policies in an attempt to stay relevant.


There has been conjecture in the past from different sources that Charles would/could be passed over for the crown. How accurate or true that is, I don't know. I'm no expert on British monarchy. That being said, there will come a day when William is crowned monarch and I think he will probably perform his obligations admirably. He seems to have a good head on his shoulders, an understanding of responsibility and integrity, and all the charisma of his mother. I think he will carry on in the tradition of his grandmother, the Queen.

In the meantime, let's hope Prince Charles performs adequately.

The family just landed at the airport. I expect they'll let them meet for a little bit, then officially announce it and start the process

Correct, Churchill was the last state funeral. Diana and the Queen Mother both had ceremonial funerals. Churchill’s was the first state funeral to be televised and broadcast worldwide, albeit on mostly tiny black and white boxes.

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

Probably already done. Just waiting. May be finalizing everything as we speak.
