yeah, we, as well as the other colonies, won independence from the King of England. Fortunately, the english saw the handwriting on the wall, and maintained essentially good relations wit the former colonies

thats for sure. if he did nothing, it would probably be the best. Elizabeth exerted an even hand over the years, which was a good thing.

Me too. His wooden persona is a lot different from Elizabeth, or particularly Diana

charles is kind of a wooden king. Not very personable, I would say. Going to be interesting to see if he can fire up the English like Elizabeth did

I agree , that’s why I posted this Check this out: https://www.galtsgulchonline.com/post...

I agree. It's nonsense.

The Queen represented British tradition. I would just like to point out that the period of time in history that Ayn Rand felt represented the greatest advancement of mankind (and relative peace, few wars) coincided with the peak of the British Empire. Sadly, it is an empire no more.

Why are the US flags at half staff, for QE II?
Didn't we fight (and win!) a War of Independence, to be free from a British monarch?

If people knew what her bloodline and lifelong ritualistic practices entailed they would temper their
Honor.

I had been fiddling around on the internet listening to music by Georg Friedrich Handel and discovered he had been commissioned by King George 2nd to write some coronation music for his accession to the throne in 1729. Handel wrote four pieces, one of which, Zadok the King, you hear a very familiar refrain. How I got from Peter, Paul and Mary to Handel's coronation anthems is a long and circuitous journey through the twisted canals of my thoughts. Better saved for another time. Anyway, I hope to be watching the coronation of King Charles 3rd, for we shall probably not see its like in what remains of our lifetimes. As a point of information, these anthems have been used in every coronation since 1729.

Just wanted to get everyone’s opinion on the US flag being at half mast in honor of the Queen. Kinda rubs me the wrong way

I will not count him out....yet.

LOL

While I think she held the post with nice poise I am bracing myself for the worshiping and fawning the media is going to shove down this nation of former patriots' throats...

I couldn't give two shits about the royals...

Charles will have to go a long way to exceed the evil, treasonous stupidity of the current US administration.

The best thing King Charlie could do is BAN Prince Harry's old lady from England FOR EVER.

Queen E. did not involve herself in all of the garbage going on in the world. Thus, she maintained her respect. Charlie will likely try to use his position to push his government into stupid decisions. So, he will diminish the monarchy. A shame.

Some trivia about the British monarchy:

- Charles is not only the oldest person to ascend to the throne, he's the oldest man to occupy it in the last 200 years.

- Until recently, the rules of succession favored males; a woman could inherit the throne only if she had no brothers. But the two longest-ruling monarchs were women (QEII and Victoria). Women had a historical impact out of proportion to their numbers; if you asked someone to name a British monarch from before the 20th century, Victoria and Elizabeth I would probably be the top two answers.

Massive credit for straddling England from Imperial through WWII to the western rise to domination to modern times. Amazing adaptability!

Charles just needs to sit there for a while and shut up. Maybe his son can do something useful. He is the definition of a British knob!

I have to admit I don’t follow the royal folks much, but what little I’ve seen I liked the queen and could care less about the rest. Chucky seems like a spoiled self loathing elitist rich kid like Freddy of the Marx/Engles duo from hell.

i had hoped she would outlive him....

She raised a couple of princely pedofiles.

The Queen will be missed. I am not looking forward to King Charles, though. His thinking is aligned with the globalists. Believes in climate change, pro immigration, reduce the monarchy, etc etc.
