Queen Elizabeth's Survival

OP here. Tried to create a POLL, didn't work.

Spouses often go within 6 mos after their other half dies. If Liz makes it that long, she'll be around for a long time. Chuck's strumpet wife is beginning to look almost as old as the Queen,

It's a question one always asks oneself.

3 months.

Long enough to KICK Harry and Andrews ASS !!

R4 There would be a very ugly revolution in the UK if they cancelled our television again so soon.

Based on the way their relationship is portrayed on The Crown, she’ll barely notice he’s gone.

This might actually open up the end of her life a bit. He seemed like a narrow minded prick and probably excluded her from having people she liked visit.

R7 You're a fucking idiot.

Wouldn’t it be funny if she hooked up with Meghan’s forlorn father?

At the very least another 10 years.

The death of Philip (and the public response) has underlined one thing for me:

When Elizabeth dies, she will, for most purposes, take the monarchy with her. Because people (particularly her subjects) do not care for or about the monarchy without her. They will not welcome her successor or their partner/family or show the same affection and loyalty.

The official "monarchy" may continue but in a downsized and diluted form, similar to other titled nobility around the world.

She’s the queen of England, not your newly widowed mother who’s suddenly alone after the funeral is over and everyone’s gone home. She will be fine.

The new Acme QEII-6 model is performing beautifully and is expected to be in operation for 10 years, after which the in-development QEII-7 model is planned to take the monarchy through the 2,000-year anniversary of the Battle of Hastings in 2066.

The CIII-0.1 model was

^ Discontinued.

Don't tell him.

To the grand old age of 104.Longer than her mother.

She's 94. She was already NOT fine.

At every funeral the thought in everyone's head is "one day, I'll be dead too." Awful affairs.

Why are they masked? Isn't everyone in the UK vaccinated?

What a witty reply, R8. Shows the grace and intellectual sophistication of the RF cult — as if the Meghan trollery wasn’t already proof positive.

It’s about time. Only her incredible endurance has delayed this from happening. All the fuss about a foolish fairy tale. All the ludicrous pretense. It’s the 21st century. Do us a favour.

I think she's going to be around at least another 10 years, personally.

R19 is a fucking idiot.

She'll live as long as I let her...

Who the fuck cares? How is there nothing else to talk about?

You Megan obsessives can't leave one thread alone, can you?

Does Charles automatically take over or can she decide her replacement.

Yes, r26.

The Queen Mother lived to be 101 and she got shitfaced drunk every day until the very end. Old Liz could still have a few more years in her.

People are really mean. What a depressing, vicious public we are.

She'll live beyond 100 years, probably dying by the time she's 105.

If she lives to 105, Charles might go before her!

^ That's the plan

I don’t know but she is amazing. She is still very much on the ball. The Royal family will be quite diminished when she goes. Charles has no charisma and William, we’ll see. But neither will ever match QE.

William showed promise as a young man (in part because he reminded everyone of Diana).

But he's shown himself to every bit as self-involved and charisma-free as his father.

The public does not love Will and Kate, despite incredibly strenuous PR efforts.

The public won't have a say in it, r34.

R35– Why do you think it’s killing lunatic Megstans. They know that there is nothing they can do to prevent William and Kate from being King and Queen.

^ It's the Klan Granny fantasy hour I see

William is very much the bore fest that Charles is. Most people don't give a fuck about either of them.

Being boring is a virtue in a king.

If future monarchs do not have the affection and respect of the general public, they will shrink into greater and greater irrelevance. Who do you think supports them, after all?

Question: at her funeral will they sing ‘God Save the Queen’ or ‘God Save the King’?

William’s kids will start moving to the forefront. That will probably keep things interesting.

She'd better wait until the pandemic's over. I want to see a no-holds-barred funeral.

[quote]William’s kids will start moving to the forefront. That will probably keep things interesting.

Harry and Meghan (if she's still married to him) are going to be furious when that happens, as all of the attention will be on William's kids once they reach young adulthood.

[quote]If she lives to 105, Charles might go before her!

Yep, and then just two will be left standing in my way.

R34, William is actually very popular, and, as a member of the British public, I want a dignified, "boring" as you might put it, monarch. Their role is to be a public servant and represent the nation, not an entertaining celebrity.

Oh please, one lasting memory of my trip to London was the tabloid headlines "Anne is Horrible" because she wouldn't take some pensioner's flowers---scandal comes from celebrity not "royalty". I suspect Brits love dishing them as celebs. My longgone peasant relatives in rural Somerset might have revered the royal family (along with my even longer gone grandmother who came from there), but I seriously doubt that most people distinguish that much between "royalty" and celebrity" especially with the shitshow that has been Chuck and his siblings. Liz must be relived that Margaret is no longer alive with all her added drama.

Margaret is absolutely the one who should have had her own reality show on BRAVO.

Can you imagine?

"Merry (House) Wives of Windsor"

I think she will get near 100 if not hit it. She is a tough old girl. They should just skip Charles and pass the crown to William.
