      "heartfelt"?
      He and his lackies repeatedly lied to her to hide their crimes, and while she and the country were staying away from their dying loved ones, he was getting drunk partying.
      He didn't respect her or the British people in the slightest.

      His speech, the one by Harriet Harman and the one by Theresa May were excellent. They showed the *human* side of the Queen. If I had one criticism of the Queen, it is that we didn't get to see enough of her as a spontaneous person, as opposed to hearing her reciting a speech that had probably been written by someone else (and if it hadn't been, it sounded as if it had).
      One advantage that Charles has is that he has lived a lot of his life free of the tighter restrictions of being monarch, so we have got to know him better as a person.

Or how much partying was enjoyed at No 10 while she set an example to the country by mourning her beloved husband alone. And I'd love to have heard how she was dragged to London at the age of 96 to go thru every possible constitutional scenario to protect our democracy when the big hypocritical man baby was refusing to resign. So much missed.

    As Dutchman, having lived 25 years in republics for work (France, Turkey & Bangladesh), I always say that the best and real democracies are the Western-European kingdoms. They are the most stable countries, with the happiest people.
    In the Netherlands, more than 78% of people are satisfied with the level of democracy (2019). And a comparable number of people is in favour of the monarchy.
    Who have the highest approval rates, that no president will ever reach, as they are political figures ? The European kings and queens.
    Having a prime minister with above her or him a head of state that can really be the seen as the embodiment and soul of a country: no republic can say, or has, the same. And it prevents us from having situations as in the USA or other republics, as France, where a president can take too much power as there is "nobody" above him anymore.
    But the UK has indeed been blessed with the most outstanding monarch, and yes, I too did shed a tear when I heard that H.M. Queen Elizabeth had passed away. She was a sort of "super"-queen among the monarchs.

      I think you have a very naive and uninformed viewpoint. She didn't prevent the Iraq invasion when a million people were protesting in the streets, did she? She has no political influence at all. It is parliament that keeps politicians in check, as it should be, just as in Republics, it is the senate.

    The crown was never her responsibility yet she did it better than Queen Victoria because Edward VIII decided to abdicate. Having lost her father and not even having the time to grieve, she ascended the throne at 25 and since then saw the world change around her. Having lost the close family one by one- father, grandmother, sister, mother and at last her husband of 70 plus years. She was surrounded by family yet alone since the passing of Duke of Edinburgh. She carried the crown all her life, through the toughest times though her actual passion lied in horses.
    She was so loved and cherished. I drew strength from her like many and found comfort. RIP Her majesty the Queen, Elizabeth II. You will always remain one of the greatest of all. I feel better knowing that you are with your Philip now.

That said, Thursday was truly an auspiciously sad day for both the United Kingdom and the rest of the world, including my country, the United States of America. May G-d bless both her family and the people of Great Britain. Rest in Peace, Queen Elizabeth II (21 April 1926 - 8 September 2022). 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
    "This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,
    This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,
    This other Eden, demi-paradise,
    This fortress built by Nature for herself
    Against infection and the hand of war,
    This happy breed of men, this little world,
    This precious stone set in the silver sea,
    Which serves it in the office of a wall
    Or as a moat defensive to a house,
    Against the envy of less happier lands,
    This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England ... "
