They do say, when one half of an old age couple dies, the other goes within the year due to heartbreak, she lasted a bit longer than but not far off

Turns out all those who've sung God Save The Queen have been wasting their time. He wasn't that bothered.

Her faithful husband. Yeah right. Some people are more interested in these scroungers than their own family while the queen was more interested in her horses than you.

I see the mental Princess Di brigade is out again. The mental part is the stories they make up like her dog barking at Putin in 2003 and her commenting how dogs have good instincts....

"these scroungers"

She had 2 choices ... serve the country or abdicate the responsibility.

I'd say scrounging is abdicating the responsibility and living off the proceeds/title like Harry/Meghan and her uncle.  Harry and Meghan worse than her uncle ofc because they tried to blame others for their scrounge fest.  The Queen chose not to scrounge.  She's effectively paid her way 100 fold imo.

I genuinely feel sorry for the old lady. So many died alone and scared during Covid but her particular bunch of parasites and hangers on had to be flown and bused to be be with her at tax payer expense. What sort of people leave an old lady to die alone. What a horrible family! At least Charles was with her or I hope he was.

The Royal Family easily pays for itself, at least The Queen did, through tourism and promotion of the country.

When whispering achieves his aim of getting rid of the royal family will he get a friend like putin or macron or jim boy (US pres) or any other of the tin pot dictator 'elected' presidents  in their place
Asking for a friend.

Laugh

Come in then Moissy tell us how English Lords got lands in Scotland?

Do you think Putin is doing things that Kings of this country have never done?

n.b. to all the crack heads. I am not trying to defend Putin’s Imperialism or ours!

How about you Clydebank. How did English Lords obtain Scottish lands....God save the King!

When Queen Elizabeth I died in 1603, the next person in line to the throne was her cousin, King James VI of Scotland. Now, he gained a second name: King James I of England.

Even though Scotland and England shared the same king, they were still two politically separate kingdoms, each with their own parliament. Over the next century, there were several failed attempts to merge them into one nation. These attempts ended in 1707, when England and Scotland united as “Great Britain” under Queen Anne (the queen portrayed in The Favourite).

There were several reasons for this union, says Christopher A. Whatley, a professor of Scottish history at the University of Dundee and author of The Scots and the Union: Then and Now. One was the fact that Scotland was in debt after trying to establish a colonial empire in the Americas the same way that England, Portugal and Spain had done.

“The Scots recognized that the Realpolitik, if you like, of the situation was that if they were to establish markets overseas, contacts overseas, they needed the support of a stronger maritime power, which was England,” he says.

Many Scots also saw the union as a way of preventing the Catholic Stuarts from reinstating an absolute monarchy, and securing Scotland’s future under a Protestant constitutional monarchy. For England, there was concern that if it didn’t unite with Scotland, the country might side against England with France in the War of the Spanish Succession. So in 1707, England agreed to give Scotland money to pay off its debts, and both countries’ parliaments passed the Acts of Union to become one nation.

I was kinda talking about banditry and gangsterism!

How did English Lords get Scottish lands?

I await your list of Scottish land owned by English Lords through force.  Official residences of the monarch do not count.

The queen and now King Twerp are only there because of religious bigotry. George 1 was miles down the list but was invited over because he was Protestant. It's all smoke and mirrors, sing songs and pretend they're better than you. The queen had a family of adulterers and child molesterers. The only thing worth remembering about her is she wore different coloured hats at Ascot.

Protestantism is the most popular religion in the United Kingdom
For centuries it has played the primary role in shaping political and religious life
in the U.K.
Persecution was frequent for those whose faith suffered from that of the reigning Catholic monarch
Reformers were persecuted in the first centuries of the reformation but the non conformist movement survived non the less
That is why British Kings or Queens have to be Protestant

By the way Queen Elizabeth’s ancestry was tied to Scotland more than anywhere else
She was descended from the Royal House of Stewart on both sides of her family
