Queen Elizabeth II Under Medical Supervision as Health Concerns Grow https://nyti.ms/3x8ZsOF Do you really wish a speedy recovery to someone who's 96? At some point don't you just wish for a painless passing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Her passing was just announced a few minutes ago. Charles is referred to as "The King" until he chooses his royal name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It's crazy to think of the like 7 billion people on the planet earth have never known another British Monarch in their entire lifetimes. I honestly wonder if the monarchy holds up much longer after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s okay to be positive and send well wishes, but it is also important to want a painless passing, which is what I hope she had. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been keeping it going for so long that its hard to picture it continuing without her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 100 year birthday party would have been epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She had been skipping more and more of her duties due to health and mobility issues. I had a great grandmother who lived to 95. When it's time, you just know it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And maybe those closest to her knew. But she looked good just last Tuesday. Certainly not looking like she was 48 hours away from death.

Amazing. In the US, it appears that the funeral will be televised by ABC, CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN, MSNBC, FOX News, NewsNation, Bloomberg, C-SPAN, Telemundo, and of course, BBC America.
