Queen Elizabeth II uses cane to walk into Westminster Abbey

I have never seen her smile so much. It seems in every picture she is now smiling. Philip must have really constrained her.

The Queen looks frail here and thanks to Meghan for traumatizing her nonstop.

She's 95 fucking years old

I think she looks fabulous. Great smile too.

For some reason she kept holding the cane up to Anne's face and sniggering.

@r2...

Bitch looks good for 95.

Way too young to be having mobility issues.

[quote] Philip must have really constrained her.

Yeah. She’s now fucking equerries daily.

Well I hope it has some magical powers.

[quote]The Queen looks frail here and thanks to Meghan for traumatizing her nonstop.

Thanks, indeed.

It would be a pity if that were to continue.

I think she will pass away right after she breaks the longest reigning record of Louis XIV.

At least it's not a walker. For 95, she looks great.

Yes, quite. It's Meghan's fault.

[quote] At least it's not a walker.

Why not? I always think these meetings stand a better chance of succeeding if the prime minister is a walker.

Thank Christ it's not a mobility scooter.

God, I adore that old war horse Q E II. The hat is amazing and so is that bold color.

[quote] Thank Christ it's not a mobility scooter.

Yes. Thank goodness. Next she’ll be riding one of those things at the local Walmart.

r16 There's an idea.

Aren’t all of us on here using canes? Kidding!

You're funny, r19, but seriously, I think it's plausible to wonder if Charles dreads Q E II's death. He knows waiting. True, he's more than prepared to be King, but still.

So now that Philip's gone she's a lesbian?

Well a pound doesn't go as far as it once did.

Get me my gettin' up stick!

[quote]I think she will pass away right after she breaks the longest reigning record of Louis XIV.

Oh, she'll need a few more years than that to break the record!

Spending up to £1.50 at the Dollar Tree, R23.

I hadn't thought about that R26 - in England is it Pound Tree, Pound General and Family Pound?

Not only Markle's fault--it's Harry's too.

I"m still pissed they stole my name. I'll never use it again.

R27 it’s just generally called the pound shop, love (and that’s not an officially name, just a type of shop).

R12 lmao that is exactly the kind of proud shithousing I expect from HM. Shes got such massive bollocks (figuratively speaking)

R1 ask any long-suffering wife—old men whether well or not constantly seek attention, bitch and moan, instigate, and drain you with their constant neediness.

I fully expect to be using a cane when I am 95 years old, if I make it that long.

And no one should dare say that mentioning Meghan isn’t appropriate in this thread after all that Meghan has viciously done to the Queen and her family, causing the Queen so much stress that has been detrimental to her health.

Stress caused my Meghan? QEII knows she will be followed in to the monarchy by her son the first divorced monarch in history. Then there is the next son, accused molester of underage girls. The old gal is 95 years old, it is a miracle she hasn't needed a cane years ago other than when she had knee surgery but ;yeah you blame Meghan.

[quote] the first divorced monarch in history

?

:D :D

I think she looks great, too. At 95, she's entitled to use a cane. It adds flair...lol.

She should rock a scepter for flair.

It's being said in the British Media that apparently she was concerned about the floor in Westminster Abbey (where today's engagement was held) because it's slightly slippery due to the polish they use. But she still got out of the car unaided and was still pretty spry. I mean lets face it, if you make it to 95 with your marbles intact and you're not shitting yourself, you're in great shape.

R1 - Ffs, she's been smiling continually since she was about 18 in the public eye.

What Philip very likely did was insist that she not to go into a months of mourning and to go on doing her job like the trouper she's always been.

Don't let Mum die. I don't want to be Queen.

R1 I actually don't think it has much to do with Philip. I think the Queen (like a lot of elderly people) is just thrilled to be getting out of the house again after having been locked down for over a year and a half. The Queen is a workaholic. In 2002 when her sister and mother died in quick succession, she responded by increasing her the number of public engagements. She does not like sitting around and dwelling on things.

R34 - She - wasn't - underage. She was 17 the age of sexual consent. There is not even an issue of statutory rape in this case.

Wash, rinse, repeat: she was not underage.

As for Meghan - whataboutery doesn't cancel out the fact that she and Harry put the boot in to the old lady as she was spending what she knew were the last days she would have with a beloved spouse of 73 years. Instead, she had to get up and deal with the lying bullshit that her grandson and his grifter wife, whom the Queen and Charles had treated with enormous warmth and generosity, were spewing on international television to big themselves up and justify how they were treating the very institution that made them marketable.

Harry, by the way, beat up sex workers whilst in the military. That was nicely hushed up.

If you're going to open threads about the Queen, don't expect her family not to come up.

Well, you have to admit, you don't know anything about the latter. It's not like they'd tell us.

I imagine the situation with Andrew is extremely stressful for the Queen. That doesn't mean the stress of the situation with Harry and Meghan (as outlined above by R43) is somehow cancelled out. It's possible to have more than one source of stress in life.

She really needs to abdicate or, at the very least, unofficially retire and let Charles reign as regent. Ninety-five is just too old, and her son isn't getting any younger.

She's at death's door!

R43 people like you are why most sane DLers avoid these threads. You're like the posters who interject Trump or George Soros (Soros is great friends with the Sussexes btw) into everything.

R46 British Monarchs don't abdicate (only six have abdicated in 1000+ years...all of which were in disgrace) and Charles can only act as monarch if the Queen becomes mentally incapacitated. I don't disagree that a 95+ year old being replaced by a 70+ year old is in the best interest of the institution, but that's what is going to happen.

Why should she abdicate? She’s able to do everything.

I think she looks lovely for an old gal, and she’s competent.

Watching the clip, it appears Princess Anne basically insisted the Queen use it to walk over the cobble stone sidewalk.

Queenie's sad last days!

If at 95, the only concern is using a cane...you're doing great.

And Anne recycled that awful purple outfit again.

R53 when I am old, I shall wear purple!

The ROYAL purple, you cunts.

The Queen was apparently accidentally recorded saying the word "irritating" today.

The Queen is ready to take the reins and no one could run the government better than her.

Here's the footage

The Queen and that drip Charles have tried very hard over the years to embrace climate change. The Queen's Commonwealth Canopy has about 35 countries involved in saving old forest and planting new. Charles has been Organic at is home Highgrove House for over 35 years. Prince Philip was very much into Nature Reserves and the saving of wildlife.
