Everyone just ignore the angry troll in the comments. It will make them sad.

Can't believe he is going with King Charles III. Guess he can't do any worse than the previous two.

Why the fuck not? He's been Charles to the tabloids, media and public for SEVENTY-FUCKING-FOUR YEARS, it would be weird if he chose Ethelred III or some dumb shit.

Because the previous Charleses were from a different dynasty and 50% of them were deposed and executed

Yeah, and it's completely out of character for the British monarchy to do anything weird.

Huh? Charles I, yeah. but Charles II was very astute.

My first thought was: at least she got to see Boris go.

That was one of my thoughts too.

Yep, and my thought is that she's been hanging on because she really didn't want him presiding over her funeral.

OTOH she had to formally swear in Liz Truss.

My condolences to her family. It’s kinda weird to think that there’s a king now instead of a queen.

Super weird question, but my neighbors are British and I know they were fans of the queen. If I see them today, should I tell them I’m sorry that the queen passed or would that be weird?

If they're fans of the Queen, they'd probably appreciate hearing that.

And weirdly, the news made me tear up. I don't have a horse in the race, am not British...but it made me damn sad.

My American friend told me she did the same thing and she was really surprised how hard it hit her. I’m her case I think part of it is that she has some British friends (I’m half & half). But I think for most of the world it’s that QEII was a stabilising and steadfast presence in the world for a long time. And in the last few years especially we’ve all witnessed so many major events that they’re hitting many of us harder. We’re truly passing out of an era and into the unknown.

I wanna unfollow half my mutuals on Twitter. Her death isn't just about her as a person and your detached problems with the UK and its monarchy, FFS. I hate everyone in power in my country, and if one of them died I would be hopeful but also terrified of the unknown change to come. I wouldn't want people from other countries making light of it in any way.

People with 'problems with the UK' always make me roll my eyes anyway.

I unfollowed a few people and actually deleted the Twitter app from my phone after seeing the sheer vitriol from some people. (I've been thinking of deleting it for a while so this wasn't the only reason, or even a big reason. Just the straw that broke the camel's back, I guess.)

I'm not particularly invested in or saddened by her death, I don't buy into all this Paddington Bear "thank you ma'am" dreck, and have even giggled at a couple of the jokes people have made. But as usual Twitter brings out the dregs of humanity and it's extremely off-putting to see some people seemingly partaking in a contest of who can wish the most personal pain and suffering on the largely impotent figurehead of a problematic system.

I liked the Queen, she took her role seriously and devoted her entire life to it. Was she perfect? No. But she was a million times better than those corrupt cretinous thieves in parliament.

On the other hand, I am dreading the amount of pomp and pageantry to come. Hate that stuff.

Thank-you!

Here's hoping the rest of her ugly monarchist family follows and they're left in a succession crisis and it falls apart so there's no more goddamn monarchy.

at last count there were approximately 6000 people in the line of succession (the ordering gets really weird) - the king ralph scenario of everyone dying in one go isn't likely

My condolences to the working class people who will be expected to foot the bill for a month-long mourning parade at a time when their state-run media is telling them that 3 meals a day is a little self-indulgent, really.
