As another staunch anti-monarchist this is an odd take. You absolutely do get the big deal, and if you are an anti-monarchist then she's isn't just an old woman, she's the chief representative of the undemocratic and elitist class system that you are against.

Been there, actually feel sympathy for Harry more than most on that. Missed seeing my nan before she died, girlfriend fell critically ill and was in intensive care for a few weeks, when she recovered I decided it was time to travel to across a few hours and go see nan before she died. Just as I got into the city and the bus to hers, my old man called and said she'd kicked the bucket. Felt horrid, still does, my daughter is named after her. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Lucas Posted September 8, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 8, 2022 Mentioned before but it's my Nan's funeral tomorrow. She died at 86. So death seems a bit of a theme for me lately. It's sad in its way if you felt some connection to The Queen (royalist or not), and at the very least it is surreal. Her face on our coins and notes, for most of us knowing no different than Liz as the Queen. That all changes now. Reigns will be much much shorter. It's a fascinating time, and a sad one for the family. I have been wondering if we might look back on her years in History as the Elizabethan years. I'm fascinated by it all and I'm a republican. I love that she hung on enough to see Boris go, and my thoughts go out to her family. It's not nice losing someone, even when it's expected to a degree. 7 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royals aren't nearly as emotional or compassionate towards each other as the ''Experts'' on tv are about them it was the general public that got them to even show some sign of caring when Diana died the mother of the Queens Grandchildren. Phillip was known to despise all the fuss and attention. The outpouring of grief will be from the hordes of morbid onlookers at the Palaces and Royalists commentators looking to pretend how well they knew her. What the BBC won't tell us is how long they've been ''on-call'' waiting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a monarchist but in doing my family tree I had gained a lot of respect for family. I am a joker but I'll be subdued as a mark of respect for family losing loved ones.

I find the older the person the easier it is due to it not being too unexpected, when they are terminally ill and in pain without piles of drugs it's sometimes even a relief that they aren't suffering anymore. I think Phillip going last year has conditioned us into knowing what to expect for the next few weeks. the BBC at least will hopefully have learned from the overkill of putting the news on every single channel for a whole weekend, even the staunchest of Royalists were fed up with it after a few days.

WLKRAS Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Weirdly affected by this although it may well be related to the fact that the wife's Nana was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer a few weeks ago and given no more than a few weeks to live.
