I miss the Queen
Im watching a documentary on the Queen and I am slightly embarrassed to say I miss her. She has been there my whole life.

@DavidT8899 Of course we are. Nobody is saying we aren't.

@SomeMichGuy You can talk about the nuts and bolts of it all day long. But for many Brits the monarchy is an outdated shambles of an organisation. I never, ever considered the Queen a "leader" of any kind. Just an old, irrelevant person that I had nothing to do with.

Your reaction is understandable.Much like Pope John Paul II,Queen Elizabeth was such an indelible public figure that it seemed like she'd be around forever.Alas,even the greatest and most monumental of leaders are,in the end,only human and must pass as all humans must.But in our hearts and mind,she will endure forever.

@DavidT8899 Lmao JPII? He was around for longer than other recent popes, but a little while (1978 - 2005, 27 yrs.) in comparison to ERII.
She reigned 70 yr 7 mos and change.
Lots of living people were around before mid-Oct. 1978 when Karol Wojtyła ascended to the papacy.
Many fewer are around from before early Feb. 1952 when Elizabeth ascended to the throne. She'd been Queen for 26-2/3 yr before JPII became Pope, or nearly as long as *he* held his office. Then she doubled that and added over 16 more years on top.

I think that's what it is, the queen was always the queen who was always there, and now we have a king and it feels strange. But we'll be alright.
