Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest-reigning monarch, dies aged 96
Quote: Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, has died at the age of 96.
Prince Charles, 73, heir to the throne since the age of three, is now king, and the Duchess of Cornwall is now Queen Consort.
In a statement, Buckingham Palace said: “The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.”
The royal family’s official website carried the message: “Queen Elizabeth II 1926-2022” along with the official statement issued by Buckingham Palace.
Flags on landmark buildings in Britain were being lowered to half mast as a period of official mourning was announced. Royal residences that are open to the public will be closed.
It is expected the bells of Westminster Abbey and St Paul’s Cathedral will toll their bells at midday on Friday, and ceremonial gun salutes will be fired in Hyde Park and at Tower Hill in London.

Charles is a clown, they need to just get rid of this nonsense and I think now she is gone a lot more will be in favor of binning it.
End this stupid tourist attraction nonsense, we can't afford it.

Ireland doesn't care about this stuff anymore, they are more concerned with being controlled by the EU.

At least you don't have to see him on your money everyday, unlike Canadians....

"Scorched earth" for royalty lately seemed to entail leaving people out of holiday pictures and wearing clothing that tabloid writers can interpret as casting shade on somebody.
For better or worse, something tells me that Charles isn't going to have quite the same approach if he bothers to do anything at all.

Sure she was soft on crimes against humanity but I can't believe she allowed all that terrible British music from the 60s-80s

RIP Queenie. Made my own tribute for another site, she was historic and one of a kind. There will never be another British monarch with the longevity she had.

I'm curious as to how many countries will dump the monarchy now that Elizabeth is dead. Barbados is already gone, they didn't even wait for her to die. I'm willing to bet there will be more to follow suit. Specifically, nonwhite countries will be out soon enough.

I guess she lived all the life could offer, and aparently, she passed away peacefully.
There isnt really anymore to hope for a life.
