God Save The Queen and God Save The King
I'm very proud of my English background. My great-great grandfather sailed the pacific 7 times. He traveled back to England to gather up his siblings and bring them to America.
The Queen was so very special, so caring and reassuring in her messages to her people during the pandemic. She will be missed.
God Bless you Ma'am.
I loved you like a mother and was honoured to serve you.
A pillar of strength and courage, a truly wonderful and remarkable lady.

Forever in my heart.
Classiest public figure that was a constant my entire life.
God bless the queen.
I am very sad that the Queen has passed away, I was 100% royalist and thought she would be an impossible act to follow.Quote:

He had an affair with her all the time he was married to Dianna, she was a married woman while she was having her affair with the married charles, they are the only people I've heard of that are divorced and still allowed to remarry in church in Britain and certainly the C of E which he is now the head of.
People say that charles was a widower so it's OK. Charles was a divorcee and not married to Dianna when she died so he is not a widower by any stretch of the imagination and camilla's divorced her husband too.
They should not take the throne in my opinion, they do not set any kind of example to us little people, unless of course i am allowed to have an affair because the king did.
I believe that the royal family should be dissolved, Richard Branson should become President and the National Anthem should be Jerusalem.
Here endeth my rant
Of course if he stepped down and William & Kate were made King and Queen, I would be so Royalist it would be beautiful to behold.
My vote for the New British National Anthem

A truly remarkable Monarch who never lost touch with the people. She will be sadly missed by many.
The C of E wouldn't be there if the Pope hadn't refused Henry VIII his divorce from Catharina of Aragon. Henry VIII remarried in the C of E. History is repeating itself here.Quote:

Henry flew into a rage, created the C of E got his divorce and dissolved the Catholic Church in England. He also threw Cardinal Wolsey out of Hampton Court and took it for his own.
Being Catholic was punishable by death for a while.
I'm C of E actually.
Saying that we are not in the Tudor age and I think it is wrong that today's King (Supreme Govenor of the C of E) is a divorcee that had an affair with a married woman.
All the best whiskey makers(monks) fled to Ireland and Scotland when all this was going on. So the English lost out on that deal. Lol.
More importantly Catherine 's nephew was Charles V the emporer of the Holy Roman Empire who was currently embroiled in the Protestant Reformation in Germany and trying to squash the new Lutheran Church (a title that Martin Luther himself despised) and force them into submission under Catholic rule. Charles had a strong ally in Pope Leo X but did not have the same relationship with Clement VII (also a Medici) who turned against him (Charles and the Holy Roman Empire) and tried to drive them out of Italy. Charles responded by defeating the League of Cognac. Coinciding with Henry's marital woes Charles' emperial troops sacked Rome and Clement barely escaped with his life having to flee through a tunnel underground and baracading himself in a castle fort.Quote:
