History ,Tradition , National Pride.
Whatever your thoughts , The Lady certainly honored those.
I hope she and her country find peace.

I COULDN'T AGREE MORE. SHE WAS CERTAINLY ONE OF A KIND. SO MUCH GRACE, WRAPPED UP IN ONE BODY....RARE, INDEED.
I DON'T BELIEVE KING CHARLES HAS WHAT IT TAKES, TO BE NEAR THE PERSON HIS MOM WAS.
R.I.P. FOR THE BEAUTIFUL QUEEN.
AS ALWAYS (AKA: JEAN N.)
RIP Queen Elizabeth!

Elizabeth's realms (light red and pink) and their territories and protectorates (dark red) at the beginning of her reign in 1952
Critics are responding to "the relationship of the monarchy to systems of oppression, repression and forced extraction of labor, and particularly African labor, and exploitation of natural resources and forcing systems of control in these places," one professor said.
metmike: Queen Elizabeth seemed like a nice person and good leader for a role that she inherited. However, from a young person growing up, I recognized the points in this article and actually disliked the idea of ROYALTY, special elite people designated to be better than the rest of us from birth.
As an authentic environmentalist, I severely cut back on my use of natural resources for decades here in Evansville, Indiana and tell the truth about climate change, while KING Charles screams about the fake climate crisis, using absurd, junk science. Personally, gobbling up many hundreds of times more natural resources than me and most others while doing it.
If credibility was rated on a scale of 0-10, I give King Charles a rating of 0.

I don't know much about Queen Elizabeth as I NEVER followed the royal family as many people like to, so this is not about her. Again, she seemed like a very nice person that treated others with respect.
This is about King Charles,. Especially since now, the world of climate hypocrites, fake environmentalists using the fake climate crisis to push crony capitalism and political agenda over authentic science will put him up on a higher pedestal and pretend that his anti science, fake environmentalism rhetoric has even greater meaning because he's King of England.
