Abolish the monarchy? Hey, the Brits love their Royals...gives them something to gossip about.
Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth...God save King Charles.

Between Charles, Andrew, Harry & Meghan she had to put up with a lot of scandal and familial infighting at the end. I'm sure that may have contributed to her demise. RIP Queen.

I believe the Monarchy is a symbol more than anything else these days.

Fastrrrrrrrr!

A shame, her passing and also the passing of a soon to be forgotten honorable and proud era the younger generation won't understand.

What did she pass, gas or a kidney stone?
I never understood that phrase, that someone passes. She died! Kicked the bucket, croaked and breather her last breath. It will happen to every living thing. She was a classy lady, and certainly had a long and privileged life. I wonder if she ever had to cook her own food, clean the house, scrub a toilet or go shopping.

RIP Elizabeth. A phenomenally long working life. And thanks for looking after us in NZ.
The Monarchy are a working family. All parliaments n the commonwealth report to the Queen, or Charles, from now on. |

 I doubt she did much cooking or cleaning. I suspect she had plenty of other crap that she had to deal with that your average person wouldn't want to deal with. She did serve in WWII

My heartfelt condolences to the family of Queen Elizabeth and to all of the United Kingdom. She was a Grand Lady and now her work here on earth is finished. May you Rest In Peace Dear Lady, Queen Elizabeth.

She may have been pampered and privileged but she was not a prissy princess. She could hunt, shoot and do basic maintenance on her vehicles.

Her life was not her own. She was 100% committed to her country and her title. She was told how to talk, how to walk, and how to hold herself. All of which she done without question. A legacy of a different era has gone. May she rest in peace.
