Queen Elizabeth II Has Died
It seems the end is near. Apparently family members are al making their way to Balmoral urgently, but nothing official has come out about her passing. I thought that we should have a thread, because regardless of whether you care about the Royal family, she's been our only monarch in our lifetimes.

My Grandpa turn 100 next year and was really hoping to get a letter from her. He's going to be a bit bummed.
I guess Charles face will be on all the Canadian coins now?

It’ll be interesting if this will be one of those that people always remember where they were like JFK or Princess Diana. I assume no since there won’t be quite the surprise or shock and the overwhelming presence of constant media and internet in our lives.

Not a huge fan of the monarchy, but I love the queen.
I was hoping she'd be old enough to send herself a letter on her 100th.
70 years on the throne. That's so hard to believe.
After she's gone, it's all downhill to oblivion for the monarchy in the Commonwealth.

Apparently they can choose any of their names and he could rule as King George VII. It's a shame because he could miss the chance to go with King Arthur!

While I will always remain suspect of authority based on divine right, she's been about as solid and stable of a monarch as one can hope for. Lord knows where that family would have been without her.

She's probably already passed. The guy in charge of her plans was on BBC wearing a black tie already, and her family is all heading to Balmoral, so she's not in the hospital. They have a huge protocol to follow and it's all laid out.

The first thing I'm doing when I get a Charles bill is drawing a Dali moustache on it.

So the guy who had one job his whole life declines to take the one job? I don’t see it. It would have been announced well before if that was the case.

She raised two prolific pedophiles. With any luck, she has an eternity of hellfire in front of her.

I believe he feels it's his duty to assume the throne, and I think he will become king.

Dude is 73 years old. Monarchy needs stability and relevancy, you give the throne to Willy and put him in a position to succeed for the long-term. People tune in for his family and the Megan/Harry fireworks, that's it.
I'd put money on this one.

two? who else other than Andrew?
No matter.
In general, I don't think a parent should be held responsible and punished for whatever in their child's biology makes their sexual interests a certain way, no matter what they may be.
It's like saying a parent is responsible for their child being gay.
