Please elaborate. Her Royal Highness, as you know, has reached another milestone: the oldest British monarch alive or dead. Over the past 55 years, she apparently has become accustomed to the rich benefits of sitting on the Throne - NO, get your mind out of the toilet! And there's her poor firstborn, fidgeting in the wings with Camilla. She's the one in the background; Charles is over there, yes, the one who looks like an impatient horse, stamping his feet outside Buckingham Palace.
Very sad. Especially if the old bat outlives him.

She isn't a Highness, that would be a princess, she hasn't been that since 1952. She's a Royal Majesty.
I wouldn't say I have any undue respect for her at all. Certainly not for her age or wealth. If anything, I respect her cool, her ability to stay calm in disaster, to lead the country in a spiritual sense (as much as that works these days). Her strength, I guess.
And, yes, the Windsor women have all managed to live very long lives. Charles may never ascend the throne, leaving poor William to take over...That might be the saddest, or the best, situation of all. Wills seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders.

As much as I detest the royal family, I think the Queen is a nice person, not as you say an Old bat., love to see the English get rid of the institution, its outdated, and totally unnecessary, otside the royal family all English are second class citizens, whether they like it or not.They have a caste system and don't even know it.

Your boldness is not only admirable, but contagious as well.
I love your style, but beware of OUR dearly Beloved, Yamster.
As for any preference concerning The Queen, I must say I admire her, for the loony-tunes habit of carrying about a purse wherever she goes, and never being seen without it.
I have no special love or respect for her, although it'd have to be, under extreme distress that I would call her an "old Bat". And neither do I care for Prince Philip, nor Prince Charles or Camilla.
However I did and still have a very soft spot in my heart for The late Princess of Wales; Diana.
She seemed to be the victim of the very spoiled, and was hooked through the line of having to become a breeder. Which I am certain, she discovered to her helplessness and frustration, after a while of in-house Palace or Royal intrigue.
I have a weaving I did, which represents her beauty and not realized, before the fact, sacrifice.
It is simply called : Princess!
And on the day of her death, when it was told to me, I had to rush and seek a hiding place, where I could cry to my heart's
Sympathy and ache.
And alone, I cried and cried, being unable to have NEW tears form in my eyes . . and all I could say . . "Oh, sweet Princess, I am so sorry. I never imagined your Loss would render me SO mournful!" I do not jest!

I speak as someone who has not time for privaledge granted by birth or nepotism, but as far as I am concerned Elizabeth Windsor has earned her place much more than many others. She is possibly the most accomplished, experienced and hard working "Civil Servants" to the British Nation and Commonwealth.

An awful lot of ne'er do wells with their petty jealousy replying tonight. The Queen at 81 is the model of the perfect Head of State: dignified, dedicated to Her role and as hard working as ever. O.K. She has wealth, but who,(giving the matter serious thought) would swap places with Her?
As they say, people who don't respect themselves, never have respect for others.
Vivat Elizabetha Regina.

I admit to be a royalist so my answer is my opinion ..
firstly, let me correct a misunderstanding that you have been taught by a 'Murdoch' press .. Queen Elizabeth OWNS NOTHING, her so called 'possessions' belong to the British people, she is holder and caretaker only .. just let her try and sell something.
Secondly I don't love her, I respect her for the protection she gives me against totalitarianism and Republicans .. look at the the political mess in the USA at present, other nations do even worse .. whilst she and hers are there in 'power' (there's a laugh she has no power - she does as the Parliament advises) Murdoch and his evil spawn can't rule the world as they appear to be running USA

I think that it is nice to have a queen that has lived to be this old and still be in good health. I would much rather see her on the throne than charles. I would look forward to the day when Prince William takes the throne.

Down with the royalty, let it burn. I do not like or love the women for she is really just another person with there nose stuck up in the air a little too far. Frankly, I could care less cause I have lived my days, without haveing the thought of mind on her anyway!

I think that we are very Lucky to have a good monarch. She has ruled this country for 55 years and more than pays her way in society. Millions of tourists flock here every year to watch the pomp and ceremony that always surrounds her spending hundreds of millions of pounds in our country. We have something that America will never have and when you come to think about an alternative it would be a president or dictator and I can't honestly think of many good ones.Long live the Queen and long live monarchy

As far as I'm concerned I hope she outlives Charles then passes the crown directly to Prince William.
