Shelli Critser Same here!

Here, here!

Me too

You're welcome to her, I'm British and would prefer not to have an unelected ruler.

I guess losing my grandmother who was a couple of years younger than the Queen is why I love her so much. A 94 year old lady that is still on the go is amazing to me. I do have a question what is the real consensus on Camilla alot of Americans cant stand her

you mean the United Kingdom there is no such thing as "the Queen of England" she is the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

@@PS-ru2ov Yes, sorry you are right.

Exactement.

She needs to stick to her guns, but I agree; she's a class act. Her son, Charles, I don't care for at all.

Good, perhaps you would like to pay for these parasites?

me also

I can say what I like, not to start an argument, no I am not going there

killing monarchist "paws and claws I certainly AGREE with.. "Good, perhaps you would like to pay for these parasites? " so WOULD YOU???????Killing Would U PAY ?????

Harr Lee , I'm from the U.S. We'll trade you, you take trump we'll take the queen. We are paying for a disgusting moron and his whole brood! He does absolutely nothing but embarrass us, play golf every weekend and is raping our economy.

The Queen looks so pretty every time I see her in the news.

Wonder Elizabeth...

Simple my dear they are people who know nothing and wish they had their wealth and they are not normal people you only have to look at the lizard comments

"What does she actually do?" Answer:Basically nothing.

she is a tourist attraction

Yes, on paper. A lot of these powers are exercised on Her Majesty’s behalf by ministers - things such as issuing or withdrawing passports that, without the Royal Prerogative, would require an act of parliament each time. The Queen’s political powers nowadays are largely ceremonial, though some are actively used by The Queen such as at General Elections or are available in times of crisis and some are used by Ministers for expediency when needed. The Queen’s judicial powers are now very minimal, and there is only really one (Royal Pardon) which is used on a regular basis, with others having been delegated to judges and parliament through time. She does not make law nor does she have the capacity to directly change the Government’s policy. Her power is more about influence - a discreet nod of the head, a polite word in the ear of a Prime Minister at their weekly meeting, or a strategic patronage of a cause being overlooked by the Government - is how she can indirectly effect our world without us even knowing. The last time a British monarch can be said to force the PM to change his policy was probably in 1931. Ramsay Macdonald wanted to resign the PM when his Labour Party split on budget issues. George V convinced him to try a coalition with the Tories and Liberals, and in some accounts even refused to accept his resignation until Macdonald conferred with the other parties. Supposedly, George VI in 1945 suggested that Clement Attlee make Ernest Bevin his Foreign Secretary rather than his original choice of Hugh Dalton. However, the readiness by which Attlee agreed suggested he was thinking that way already.

Gets dressed up and goes out to wave at her minions. Nice work if you can get it!!

Most tourists don't see her, tourists go for the history; HM is not standing there waiting for the tourists to arrive at Heathrow.

I’m a Taurus as well. She was crowned on my birthday.

She’s a Taurus but you’ll always be a fucking arsehole

@@JGJGAGSG Yeah you're so tough on the internet. Moron 🙄

My eldest son is a Taurus. He is certainly direct, no_nonsence, low tolerance for foolishness, highly intelligent and well spoken, and exceptional business minded,impatience with not only other's but also themselves is a constant challenge. So proud of him.

Don't get too carries away there. Liz was born on April 21. Hitler was born on April 20.

So true. She never failed to remind staff as she has had motor vehicle trouble . was good choice. I used to be able to fix my own first car. Now electronics nag you into making you see a professional expensive mechanic

+Uncle Furball Are you fucking high?

Bigoted nutcase.

So true, just as the idea of democracy, economic prosperity, and religions do the same. At some point do humans start to understand their own voids, so they can direct energy and resources to make life better for all, rather than directing it toward those who are just votive figures?

***** bit hectic, man

there is an organisation trying to get the queen & close friends in court that have been killing babies for hundreds of years ! court dates have been stopped 3 times now !

Krista Harmon Sarcasm, good for you.

***** Oh tell us something we don't know.No one want's Harper he's past done, he's over done.

***** If George Carlin knew so much, why is he dead ?

phtevlin to

I couldn't agree more! I just love Queen Elizabeth, she is just precious!

We do. But we call them actors or movie stars. Carol Burnett, Betty White, Doris Day and Cicely Tyson, to name a few. All of these women are great humanitarians . Let's not forget Philadelphia's Grace Kelly, even though she has passed.

@@brendanyce9482 All are indeed good examples of great humanitarians, but I think @phtevlin was commenting in regard to someone in a leadership position of the country, i.e., First Lady or Second Lady of the US. At the moment, those ladies do not fit the bill.

@@kayehenry3737 These ladies are only in the spot light 4 to 8 years. No comparison to a lifetime commitment like the crown. NEVER putting themselves in a position to alienate half of the country through politics, no matter who or what they secretly support. That's the magic of Royalty.

Pam Cook, speak for yourself. She's neither an inspiration nor a source of "female pride" in this corner of the world.

@@joannenugent8495 English people are as brain washed on the queen as Hitler youth were on Hitler. For generations they have been fed this monarchical bullshit. You cant convince them. Just like you cant convince the ass hats in my country who not only voted for Frump but STILL support him. We were brought being taught the the president represents the majority so he must be respected yadda yadda

Pam Cook I too think she is wonderful at what she does. She bends when it necessary, but has never broken. She is a perfect queen.

Ghost305...I Agree with you Bro...Its sickening how people are so blind and stupid and give these criminals a pass , when they have destroyed so many simple cultures and murdered so many people ...and you can blame the weapon they use ...the MS Media....which programs these people to stay mentally ill so the charade can still do the square wheel roll...

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👑 Yessss

Nikola Novakovic ..Sadly her immediate family are a bunch of disfunctional freeloaders, she, however, is a lovely lady who has served her subjects...100 plus per- cent.

So keep her there.

@@wcstevens7 What one’s are freeloaders? Please tell me?

My dad's family.got out of Hungary before ww1. Grandfather went back to marry and sneak out with my grandmother.

Well, there can be many things used to unite people that don't require vast amounts of money to prop up a contrived story.

SuperStrik9 the constitutional Monarchy is NOT a political systemyou're confusing it with absolute monarchy but they are different

Marry me

+kandy kandy Be more open minded. It's good for your health also.

Why the BBC? Cannot his own country make a documentary?

I saw Her in Her car. She ain't stop...

Had Edward not abdicated he likely would have been pressured to marry and produce an heir. Creating a different line of succession and quite possibly meaning Elizabeth II and her descendants' line being so significant in the Commonwealth.

Boy, the Hand of Fate was advantageous in some respects, with The Duke and Duchess accepting the hospitality of Little Adolf, after which seemingly becoming The Reich's passionate advocate to The Royals...as well as an unpaid, unwitting intelligence asset to Die Fuhrer...Also, The Duchess, The former Wallis Warfield of Maryland, kept up a warm, intimately close, too-polite-for-words, and rather extensive social correspondence with Goebbels. VERY close friends......Yeah, Britain was fortunate to gain George VI as Sovereign.

Edward VIII might (not likely, but possible) have had children. Her parents might (again, not likely, but possible) have had a son. That is why she was always "heiress presumptive" and never "heiress apparent".

@Hippie Chic keep believing that fairytale

***** I am speaking of her spirit, her essence.

I agree princess Anne keeps it real. Love her spunk.

I have met Princess Anne in PERSON!!

The Meath You have? Amazing!

Anthony Nunez With all the charities that she runs and supports, I'd hardly say basically nothing.

She should go scandinavian style pay taxes and support herself

asgabeler There's a whole other side to current British history, you know ... people sleeping in the streets, people losing their homes, people using food banks.

Alice I concur, as there are many sides of the USA's face. Unfortunately this is occurring all over the world in affluent countries as well as those in conflict. I simply was grateful to experience via the BBC an aspect of the world's current history.

asgabeler, Yes, it is very well done. I would hate to be without the BBC. There are a lot of things wrong with it but my goodness they do know how to put on a good show. Some of their Radio 4 dramas are without equal. xx

She uses it as a 'signal'. When she's ready to leave an event or dinner, she picks up her purse and then her assistants know she's ready to go. I doubt she carries much in it.

I consider myself one of her most loyal subjects and must say it is a sort of comfort having her on the throne. Politicians, especially prime ministers, come and go but the Monarchy is forever

getredytagetredy do you include yourself here

Proud now, in 2018???

I, would prefer the monarch, to what is possibly happening here in the U.S., it feels like authoritarian lite, but we have the option of voting him out in 2020.

Richard Lawson The monarchy would give me a sense of stability and comforting continuity. I am sad that my country hasn't got a monarch. Envious of the Brits, I certainly am!

@@richardlawson4317 lol

Joanne Nugent shut the fuck up.

Dee Harper

What king would that be, Dee?

Elizabeth is the Queen. Philip is the Prince Consort. You don't become a king by marrying a queen. You have to be born a king.

Prince. A person is crowned King.

er what king?

And thank God for that. The Constitution was designed to limit his power. We had just fought a war to get rid of a king, and we certainly didn't want another. The power the president has now is a massive overreach, which started with Lincoln. But it was never designed to be so.

Barney H It's really interesting how similar those systems work, I mean here the 'political state' limits the power of the monarch (why she's called a constitutional monarch) but it's a constitution between the parliament and her.

***** Because he's talking about it, and so ought to get it right.

Lytrigian The PM doesn't get executive orders and stuff like that.

Tobberz All an executive order is, is a directive to some department on implementing laws or regulations already enabled by legislation. It's not a way to make law. You're going to tell me that the government never issues directives to the Civil Service? The executive is that part of government responsible for execution of laws and day-to-day administration: Essentially, in British terms, the "government".

sacrifice....ancient burden....LMFAO!!!

What a load of horse shit!

***** your wasting your time talking too a royalist, they would kill 1000 babies and use them to build a bridge over a river so her royal cuntness could cross without getting her feet wet.

***** Exactly mate, the queen owns either 1/6 or 1/7 of all the world's land. She could end world hunger in less than a fuckin week, save millions and millions and even fuckin more millions of lives at the drop of her gold and jewel encrusted hat, stop babies being born into a life of stomach pains due to slowly dying of hunger. She is a selfish bitch who is evil and does not a fuckin thing for mankind. she should be put in the gallows and executed. WE THE FUCKIN PEOPLE shouldn't be living in such an unfair world when kunts like this have everything and do NOTHING!!! if you think i',m too 'out there' suck a royal cock I won't apologise for my beliefs when I'm preachin nothing but truth. Howay then, I'm asking for spamming/ hateful comments from people who would take a bullet for these savage animals, let me have both barrels...

Crazyman1212 What is it you do? I’m guessing when you left your local authority maintained school, assuming you attended, which would have undoubtedly been in one of those delightful education action zones, you entered a dead beat job. Or if even that minimal level of social participation put too much strain on your limited intellectual reserve, you applied for benefits, further strangling the state. Now you’ve compounded your poor education with bitterness, jealousy & cynicism. Oh & I dare say quite a bit of bloating as you troll through youtube. Full marks for mastering the interweb though, well done you!

No snack Whole meal Only half? 😉

The Windsors who changed their name from some German tongue twister and if not for big PR they are monsters. They are and were Nazi supporters during WW2, and Prince Edward who abdicated was a close personal friend of Adolf Hitler. They also have a lot of mental illness in their family. We need to ban these people completely from Canadian politics.
