I love history.  Always been aware that you need to understand that before you can form an opinion.  Watching a lot of the stuff today is history in the making.  It will be fine interesting to see how I feel about it all in six months time.  At the moment a person of a grand old age has passed.  It is extremely sad for this large family as it would be for any family who lose the one that binds them.  History will determine the next phase of this particular family's and their individual lives.

 

Everthing is history mate - having someone with hands the size of Kenny Everett gloves proclaiming he's the heid mason is only significant to simpering monarchists - ask someone from abroad what the world is making of this beyond the superficial platitudes.

Sorry no idea what all that means, I am not very clever.  Sure it makes some sense to others though.

I do too, but appreciating the significance of big events is one thing, living under a ridiculously outdated system is another.

I blame social media to a large extent. This is just the latest fad fueling a craving to be part of something / anything so that they feel they have a place in the world and can engage in some one-upmanship with their real or imaginary friends on Facebook. Weirdos.

Great picture. It really must amaze some posters on here that the Royal family are extremely popular with loads of people in Scotland, in the UK and rest of world.

Pictures like this do tend to back that view up.

Yeah and no, I remember being in a chat room the day after she died where a guy called the Ghost of Lady Di kept popping up going wooooo.  People were going nanners. I assume there were royalist chat rooms out there too

A picture from Queen Victoria's funeral cortege in London in 1901 is certainly evidence of widespread support for the royals in modern-day Scotland.

Difficult act to follow and part of me would think it respectably English if the monarchy survives.

Englands governance is resolute and somewhat admirable in the sense that its so cleverly skewed.

Following from @Ulysses thread all of a sudden the question of his role as King needs sorted.

Or does it?

Do we really need a political head of state or is it not better a ceremonial one?

The big thing is, for the majority of people on this planet, never mind the UK, it's always been The Queen.

Certain things were important to her reputation, the perception of being in it with everyone else during the war, carrying herself in a certain way, taking the role seriously, etc. She does have people's respect in one way or another, and she's just always been there.

 

Charles is a figure of fun for many, there's much larger scope for blatant disrespect. There are Di lovers, there are traditionalists, there are some who just hate Camilla. There are some who cringe at his social engineering experiments, and others at how goofy his persona is.

 

It's going to be a much harder gig to hold the whole thing together now, and I think we'll see the gloves off from many quarters.

I mean, imagine this was the Queen

I've been avoiding broadcast media like the plague but I've found I can't watch Liz Truss. I just can't bear it, there's too much cringiness in everything she does. She's blatantly shit, so pleased with herself for being there, and she's going to get utterly annihilated.

 

Big Chuck's making me cringe as well though, anyone else?

Thing is, despite it all I do think there's a general well meaning thing from him but there's something else. Maybe it's that his face betrays emotion too easily, it gives him a very different vibe to what we expect and are used to.

 

As a nation we don't like change, it'll certainly be fascinating how we deal with this once our coins, stamps, etc change - he's been waiting half a century to make his mark, I reckon we'll be swamped with royal activity.

With regards Chuck at least his new title has given us all a great new rhyming slang phrase for a number two
