From Fox News, Queen Elizabeth passed away today at the age of 96:
Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch who served as the beloved face of her country and source of strength for seven decades, died Thursday at Balmoral Castle in Scotland. She was 96.
Elizabeth’s doctors said earlier Thursday that they were “concerned for Her Majesty’s health” and that she was “resting comfortably” at Balmoral under medical supervision.
May God have mercy on her.
may god take a few months off and let her run things for awhile. i think she qualifies.
Literally ran an empire that subjugated millions
I thought the most interesting comment I heard yesterday was the observation that since she never expressed an opinion about anything, people projected all their own opinions onto her and assumed she shared them.
She probably didn’t agree with much of anything the public believed, but they never knew that.
That was what she was SUPPOSED to do.
Be a figurehead and stay out of Politics and pretty much EVERYTHING that could impact daily life.
The VERY few times she expressed her opinions publicly on anything it was rare enough that it made headline news (The most recent one was The Scottish Referendum for Independence). Even her calls for civility during the Brexit debates – she didn’t say if she was for or against – she just told people to be civil – caused huge amounts of news speculations.
She was, by tradition, supposed to be completely neutral politically.
Always civil, always spoke respectively to others, always the pride of her country. Most definitely a role model for all, especially world leaders.
