    1. @Dan Boyd she built her wealth off of the backs of indigenous people, off of African slaves and used black people as capitol. Sure it wasn’t her but her family built wealth and she benefitted from it and the structure can forget the harms and promote the family.

    2. @Sadie Nailed it The idea of charity is not a way to atone for millions tortured, removed from families as children, raped, tortured, forced to work for free and used as capitol. If they really wanted change they would structurally support the countries they harmed by removing debt for leaving the monarchy, allow the countries it colonized to decide their own fate, not this idea of charity that in many cases upholds the structure and creates a Perception of “help” instead of systemic, structural change.

      That’s the story of Europe not just the British royal family.

      However, it was Britain and the might of the British Navy who stopped the Atlantic Slave Trade in the 19th Century.

  3. This news is so sudden and sad. My prayers and deepest sympathies are with her family, the United Kingdom, the Commonwealth, and the world. Her Majesty will never be forgotten and will always be in our hearts.

    4. Someone explain to me how/why people insist on propping up a family whose majority wealth was stolen through violent colonialism…

      Its like if the Manson family came into money as a direct result of their murders… than decided to do some “publicly identified” charitable work, directly funded from the crimes of their family.

      Someone PLEASE explain it to me without all the rampant, dismissiveness of comments like: “you’re being rude” “just mourn” “she was a great queen'”. Those declarative statements have zero explanatory backing.
      Thanks in advance.

    5. @Gary Chubs that is what public relations will do. They have a whole system of media that surround the monarchy, that plant stories and that built the family into a loving body allowing the horrors to be downplayed. Many countries do this – it’s kind control

  5. In the wake of Liz’s passing away, I wonder what existential anxiety will raise amongst the staunch supporters of the Britt’s monarchy, inside and outside the UK. For my part she is just another human that my own long life has taught me must eventually pass away, including my own. Such is the real and ever present fate of our existence. Farewell fellow traveller.

    1. You can’t throw out a historical world tradition kings and queens have always been just another human but the majesty and it’s kingdom is something that has lost its power through presidents and prime ministers but it’s historical not to be forgotten

    1. Yep, other than just presiding over loot and murder of millions Black and Browns in British colonies her life is legendary.

      Nazis should be condemned, Slavery should be condemned but Colonialism should be celebrated!

  7. Gorbachev. Now the queen.

    Can’t help but feel the symbolism of their passing during a time of big changes.

    The world is shifting in front of our eyes. We’re watching an era die and a new one take place.

  9. Why do I have a tightness in my chest and tears in my eyes that I’m fighting to hold back? I’ve been an American Anglophile for decades. I’ve been visiting England since the early 1990s. I love everything British: Art, history, film, literature, poetry. I love it all. I’ve toured the Queen’s art gallery 3 times and Buckingham Palace. I stayed up all night (Pacific time) for Chuck & Diana’s wedding; I remember vividly exactly where I was when learning of Diana’s death. I’ve been a huge fan of HM QEII. I will miss her. May she Rest In Peace. God Save The King.

      Really? I’m a world traveler, hiker, gourmet cook, gym rat; I entertain large parties and numerous house guests, grow an annual vegetable garden, enjoy wine tasting trips with friends; I tent camp and RV. I go on cruises around the world. You only wish you had my life.

  14. I’m French , not a royalist in any ways but I can definitely recognize how important she was as a figure to the United Kingdom and all the Commonwealth of nations and how her death is seen as a tragic news for our dear neighbors I know our respective countries have always shared a complicated history but I wanted to express all my sincere condolences to our British allies in honor of a woman whose existence will for sure be graved in the history books . Take care in those difficult times British friends

    2. A representative of inherited opulance stolen through the violent colonialism her family perpetrated around the world. I’ll weep with joy when the rest are gone.

    3. @Gary Chubs “I’ll weep with joy when the rest are gone”. I’m sure you would, Gary. And what would you replace them with? More importantly, how far would we trust them?

  15. It’s always sad when someone passes. Queen Elizabeth was 96. King Philip was 99. They both lived long lives. My Mother passed at age 70. I’d give anything to have had an additional 26 years with her. I would have her with me still today! My Mother was my Queen.

  19. I’m in denial. Very sad 😔 Her Majesty The Queen, I will miss you. I admire the love that you had for all, your kindness, your admiration to duty, you dedicated your life to serving, you demonstrated unconditional love as a mother and grandmother. I looked up to you. I’m broken. My upmost condolences 💐 to the family.

    2. @R A She led the nation. She was an unshakeable figure, a truly iconic leader that provided guidance and advise to many people.

    3. @ColorMeOakland My father was killed by a man in the 1800s. Should I receive compensation and an apology from their great great great great granchild?

  20. Ever since I’ve born, The Queen was always everywhere through the news and TV, even in Asia. It will be very sad without the Queen around in our live again. RIP Queen…
