Yes.
In the concept of the World Stage, she handled and projected herself well. Much much better than most the others.
Her Majesty's a pretty nice girl, but she doesn't have much to say...
R.I.P.
God save the Queen
Not a fan of the 'royals' so this news is neither saddening nor surprising.

The end of an era. Rest In Peace
I remember watching her coronation back in 1953. R.I.P.

Possibly, but IMO her lasting legacy is the total dismantling of the British Empire which has rendered the UK as "trailer trash" among the world's other super powers. The royals now have little to no impact upon the world stage and even domestically cannot seem to preserve the traditional Anglican ethos.Quote:
