Has the Queen died?

no, sorry, i meant when camilla married the (then) prince of wales - she became duchess of cornwall on marrying charles, but she did not become princess of wales.

or possibly she did on paper, but she didn't use the title.

i haven't really caught up with who has acquired what title today.

Ah ok
 
Well, I've got bob_jr to think of and although he says he's still not a royalist he says he just thought she seemed like a lovely old lady and he is acting genuinely sad (so, great, he's not a monarchist but it's possible he's a gerontophile) so I tried to humour him and watch some of the news with a straight face.

Managed literally about a minute before I had to take the piss or explode. Poor sad, serious Huw. FfS :D
 
Michelle O'Neill, leader of Sinn Féin, has Tweeted:

It’s with deep regret that I learned of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

The British people will miss the leadership she gave as monarch.

I would like to offer my sincere sympathies and condolences to her children, and wider family as they come to terms with their grief 1/4

I wish to especially acknowledge the profound sorrow of our neighbours from within the unionist community who will feel her loss deeply.

Personally, I am grateful for Queen Elizabeth’s significant contribution and determined efforts to advancing peace and reconciliation 2/4 between our two islands.

Throughout the peace process she led by example in building relationships with those of us who are Irish, and who share a different political allegiance and aspirations to herself and her Government. 3/4

Having met Queen Elizabeth on a number of occasions alongside my colleague, the late Martin McGuinness, I appreciated both her warmth and courtesy. 4/4

It won’t be a bank holiday - by which I mean at least it will be a banking day - otherwise I’m going to have to urgently rewrite this months payroll calendar :eek:

'World on the brink of five catastrophic climate tipping points', according to the Guardian.

Showing their true colours, aren't they - you have to scroll past a mere 17 links about a woman in her 90s dying to find that at number 18. Traitors.
 
Reasonably likeable as a person and could have been a thousand times worse. But yeah it's the monarch, and a massive pint of couldn't give a fuck
