To my Cousins across the ocean

Yeah, but the drops were epic! :stuck_out_tongue:

Itā€™s somewhat sad, but 96 is a pretty damn good run.

Honestly, surprised they didnā€™t do more prep to hand off for the transition before this. Sheā€™d been in failing health for awhile.

It is more along if they choose to preform the transition, being healthy or no. Only true historical hiccup of transition of the crown was when Edwards VIII abdicated suddenly due to relationship (and other pro-questionable connections) iirc, which was stressful for parliament, family and country during the given time as well.

Also known as the Year of the Three Kings.

Or at least James.

I too embrace the hard won rights secured by our forefathers and wither we care or not care about the royal family it is still WORLD history in the making and that by itself is worth taking note of.

Think Trump will be at her funeral?

honest to god, i thought the queen would outlive me somehow. iā€™m still processing how to feel about her being goneā€¦ as a canadian, iā€¦ donā€™t know how to feel about her not being around anymore. i mean, itā€™s not like she was an everyday part of my life, but sheā€™s on our money, and my grandmother used to have a room set-aside just in-case she ever visted (i know, not likely but thatā€™s how she was) soā€¦ i dunno.

guess weā€™ll have a king soon. long live king.

I liked her overall except for the treatment of Diana, but beyond that, she was an amazing figure.

And the entirety of my parents lives. She was crowned the same year my father was born.

RIP QE2, best of luck KCIII

Well in 1977 she was in the Bahamas and sat with a few average folk partaking in their daily lives and religious rituals to get to know them better. Bahamas does have history with Louisianian and Haitian Voodoo - so. Ya never know, she may have had a few brews with the ol Baron back in the day.

I could actually see her sitting on a beach smoking a cigar and drinking rum.
