Well, it's out with Eff the Queen and in With Eff the King!
One last Eff the Queen, just for old times sake.

I hate that institution but its obvious this is a momentous moment in this countries history. Over 30 million people are tuned into the BBC right now in the UK.
Absolute monster of a human, went through changed times and changed landscapes in all matters possible.
End of an era. Well deserved rest.
RIP Queen Elizabeth II

Its only worrying if people start being weird about it. It doesn’t change anything in reality.
RIP.
Was a great run.
Was a great run.
The Queen is dead, long live the King.
I can only speak for Belgium, Holland... but I'm sure it will be the main headline until well after her funeral.
Rest in peace, the Queen.
Yeah I’d agree with that. It’s a huge moment for me though.
I’m British (Scottish) but have never felt a great affinity towards the royals and they’ve essentially just been a part of my upbringing. Given she’s the only monarch I’ve ever known it’s certainly notable for me. I can see why it might be a ‘*shrug* oh well’ response for those not directly associated.
RIP
Hm, they'll milk it if nothing major pops up but I wouldn't be surprised if Tiafoe winning the US open is the major story, should that occur.
The UK will mourn officially and BBC will wank themselves silly but normal people won't care unless the Tories want to cover another round of bullshit stories.
Highly doubtful.
I'm sorry but how exactly? The sun will come up tomorrow, you'll still have Brexit and those Tory pricks in govt. Literally nothing will change.
Surely will, seeing as the previous two got filled in. Odds on to get beheaded/booted out by the Dutch if he doesn’t.
Peter Ball will be looking up with pride this evening.
Wow
Agreed, it's full on coverage here in the USA as well. This is massive news around the world. I am 50 and have never been alive during anyone's reign but hers. It's like a president passing away x20.
This is pretty much it for me.
On a human level, I feel sad for her family, because losing a loved one is absolutely rubbish. Can't take that away from them, no matter who it is or however old they are. Yes, a person has lived a long life, but I fully appreciate how sad or difficult it can be to know that somebody is not there anymore, when all you've ever known is for them to have been there. That's tough.
But that's as far as I go with it and that's the only level I see this on.
I can totally understand your point and it must feel monumental in Britain. It will also be headline news over here for a while but it won't last. After over 70 years this will of course be one of the bigger moments for years in Britain, no doubt
Cost of living crisis, poverty, poor people starving. But think of the poor Royals, cause their Granny died.
Get them in the bin.
Hopefully the end of the monarchy. Charles just doesn't have the charisma that Elizabeth had.
Ah man. Horrible news
You can't think of anything that's happened in the last few months that would make you worried more than the fecking Queen passing away?
I just don’t want Charles’ face on the money. He’s an ugly cnut.
Her funeral and Charles’ coronation will be huge over here.
Second longest reign in history (behind Louis XIV) apparently.
Use Kate in stead.
Biggest spongers
I more mean on a political level. She doesn’t do anything regarding the running of the country in any real sense. She’s a ceremonial figurehead who will be replaced in a few days.
RIP to the only royal I actually liked
American coverage will be insufferable
I vote for this. Though not from UK.
Christ, they're actually extending the news here in Ireland because of it. Read the room RTE you bellends.
I agree with you both ways.
They also both used to wear tights.
End if an era i guess.
I kinda liked her, rip.
