It looks like she is about to check out. She has had a long run and is probably a good person. Too bad about her sorry sons both of them are real creeps.

Big Ears will be in charge soon.
I believe the old ways are better, and over her life span she adhered to that protocol of royalty.
Yep a very long run. Think Churchill was her first PM. ------Ray
Sam, what's your source on this? I can't find a news clip on her health.
Never mind. Found one...

It occurs to me that if there was ever a time for Britain to divest itself of this antiquated and purposeless royalty system, her death would be it. It would be most fitting for her to be the longest and last one.
I am not a fan of the British wefaif for the ultra rich and met a few British citizens who hate it also
But what I have read the royal family pulled in millions in tourist trade and more than pays there keep
With that said from all I have seen about the queen she has been a good example of what they should be God save the queen
Unlike the last few generations that are the news
Agree it would be a greY time to say that's the end take back Ll the land and properties and priceless artifacts held by the royal family
But will not happen
Died just moments ago...
Yep too bad. She was a class act. Now they will have a King in red nose Charlie and the queen will be his hoe. Not a fan of the royals they aren't even English...........They are Austrian and Greek.
Yep, The Union Jacks are at half mast. RIP Elizabeth.--------------------Ray
Out of respect for the dead founders of this nation I will not mourn the British crown.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
...For a multitude of reasons, she has been a very beloved, respected person around the world for decades...very .few leaders can say that...RIP...
RIP
I agree.
She had a long run and was beloved by most of the world. If you look over British history, you will see that she rises to the top when it comes to all rulers of the British Crown.
RIP
In the near future, Britain will have a Shah instead of a king or queen.
The Brits still consider us the colonies.
I heard the news say her ( the queens ) procedure was planned back around 1962 on what is to happen and procedures to be followed
I am sure the event was in place but has been altered many times since then .
as we know it will be one huge world wide event on times and travel for her body
I just saw a post earlier on local news here the Ohio governor has ordered the flags at half staff in her honor .
I frankly don't expect much from Chuckie the Tres. He hasn't the mind that Liz did. Fortunately, the bulk of his duties will be to show up, smile, and be gracious. He won't even have to read from a teleprompter.
The family of all newly elected U.S Presidents are required to make funeral arrangements within 24 hrs. of being elected for obvious reasons. One of the 1st. official things they do.

Glad they allowed the USA to land on the island and end the Nazi rule
Top recipients of the English welfare state if you ask me.
Welfare state? Let's see.
Charles is 73 years old, never has had a job, and is a multi millionaire. Welfare fit for a King.
Nailed it.
l remember when 'Bonni Prince Charli' got kicked out of military school as a kid. Was it Sandhurst? Prince Phillip was a classy guy too. Charli and Andi had such great PARENTS. l always wondered if Elizabeth ever took a belt to those two boys?🙄
There are THREE "boys"!
I won't speak badly about the queen..........but I also will not mourn the passing of a monarch.......any monarch.
There is a very good reason why the pilgrims left GB and came to America.
The lady served in WW2 held the throne with her tiny fists so her good for nothing chuck wouldn't ascended with his royal hooker. But alas chuck is now king. The next generation is Jerry Springer reject. It would be fun to see harry jump the line.
unlikely but to me this would have been a great time to just say that's it were done with king queen BS th epeople take over the rest of the royal holdings and money put a end to the thousand year upper class tourist draw and tradition . yes the queen seemed to be a bit better than most in her role she was a class act
just my humble view all the titled royal families should be disbanded and tossed back into main stream society reclama the countless thousands of acres and properties and art secured by the throne in one way or a another over the centuries
I did read they had turned most all of it over the government but the queen still received 25% of all royalties made off of the property something like 25 million a year .

The USA is only playing along with British royalty because of it's location in Europe,its scientists and The City of London money changers hold on the fiat world's central banks which is only second to The Swiss and it's BIS think tank club of The thirty.

In July 2004, the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), the European Central Bank, and each of the Group of Ten* (G-10) central banks announced their plans to support the development of a new publication focused on central bank theory and practice. Other central banks were invited to participate in this joint project, and there are now 54 sponsoring institutions.
