Very very upsetting, incredible woman who has been with us through much times of change.
In my humble view the most universally known , loved and respected person, and she was ours.. and part of our lives ..
The sunset over the Palace now is apt ..
My mum and her family from Pimlico in London would have been completly devastated...
Rest In Peace Great Lady .
RIP Bluebird.
Let's hope William gets his chance sooner rather than later. Charlie's another clown like Phillip was.
At least William has a lot of Diana about him, a bit of humanity and humility, less foot in mouth if you will.
I won't be shaking hands with Liz Truss anytime soon.
It was an absurd life, and while there are suggestions she was a rock amidst the world shambling around her, I'd say Elizabeth Windsor and the rest of her institution, with the weight of the centuries behind it, merely stayed put and maintained the status quo, letting the artifice and pageantry do the talking when necessary. This seems to be enough for all those looking or conditioned to look for "identity" or leadership when it's not really anything of the sort. But there we are.
The presence of "royalty" is, amongst other things, a mainstay of inequality and subordination. It's a sad day, and will be a sad week, mostly because it's all a symbol of how happy some are to accept that.
Had time for her, most of my life she just seemed a nice old lady. I'm sure she was ruthless and suffered no fools but just seemed reminded me of my nan.
The rest of her dysfunctional family...
Having said that, I do think William tries his best and is most like her. Seems.to know what it's about and respects the privilege.
Rest just take the piss.
RIP
I can't say I'm a royalist and the whole topic rather bores me. But she was a great servant and stateswoman who behaved with a lot of dignity. Demonstrated a lot of 'soft power' for the UK too.
RIP
As I’ve said, she was spot on for the role, dignity, quiet but efficient authority, a decent human being who has shown how unelected (and elected) heads of state should behave. But I fail to understand how families can be completely devastated, I s’pose everyone is different but there are far more important ‘closer to home’ things to fret and get upset over. Still, each to their own.
Think this is apt , written about her by Phillip Larkin
In times when nothing stood
But worsened, or grew strange,
There was one constant good:
She did not change.
Big first couple of days for Truss
