32!!!!!
Maybe she left the other six counties to Ireland in her will
All that pillaging bitch did was take, take, take from the world. Raped, Robed and Colonized anything with a heartbeat that was an easy battle.
All the wealth the Monarch had....
and the UK is am impoverished kip.
Imagine hoarding all that.
She wasn’t Victoria. And she was coronated 5 years after the Raj. If anything E2s reign is significant for any reason, it’s that she ruled while Britain shrank into nothingness.
I can understand the appeal for some for an apolitical head of state that can be an enduring symbol (And I think the money they get should never exceed the tourist dollars that they bring in) - I think unfortunately the Monarchy Machine drilled the apoliticalness of the modern monarchy too deep into her that in order to preserve the monarchy she proved how obsolete it is.
What is significant about her and the tributes today is that she literally did nothing. Sure, she was limited constitutionally, but it stank of cowardice of maintaining one’s status quo to not speak out against Brexit (as one example)
