Well said.

I have found it somewhat ironic that so many Americans are anglophiles, especially where the monarchy is concerned.

it's interesting - i am not much of an anglophile at all - otoh, my colonial hating, eat the rich commie wife is a HUGE anglophile

After seeing her say "cows", this is all I can think about:

Tell her to become a Cambrophile then you can love the best part of Britain without having to cope with all the colonialism guilt...

I feel strangely emotional. I'm not really an anglophile and have no real interest in the royals. I know her position was complicated and included some of the nastiness of the 20th Century.

But she was the Queen for 21 years before I was even born, and my kids know who she is. It's quite remarkable and I feel like some little part of the world that I know, the world that has been in place my whole life, has passed on into history.

It's sad in its own way. The UK will be in mourning and I send my sympathies to the nation and all who treasured Queen Elizabeth II as their monarch, whether in law, tradition, or simply in their own hearts.

Damn…you’re old. Err I meant wise

Well the last time God did that he/she/they killed 99.9 per cent of the world's population and yet still managed to save the stupid mayfly.

That and the other response were more like what I expected
I was talking more like the Deshaun Watson thing - 3 responses were already like 3 memes deep
Like this JUST happened and already were in the comment of a comment of a comment phase

I feel like "close medical attention" is their term for what we might be calling someone on hospice here.

She didn't last long before she passed. My guess is that she was being kept alive just until everyone got there. May she forever rest in peace.

Apparently FDR did the same thing, scaring the crap out of passengers as he drove with hand controls only.

Godspeed Queen Elizabeth. You weren't a driver in name only during WWII--you Drove!
