I'd consider myself in favor of a republic rather than a monarchy. But I do have respect for the job the Queen did.
Now is the time to end the monarchy though.

I fully expect to see Britain fall apart because of this news. The Queen was holding everything together, working in the shadows managing our public systems and foreign trade agreements, our schools and emergency services, our road and park maintenance, and everything else.
Hopefully Charles can be half as good as she was at running Britain, because otherwise we're in trouble.

It's the "good riddance" kind of stuff that feels weird. I don't care for monarchies, I actually think it's a bizarre institution to still be having in 2022. But I don't feel the urge to write "good riddance".
Pretty much how I feel too
Embarrassing the amount of posters here laughing at her death.
Replaced instantly! So sad. She's now referred to as just 'the King's mother'
Yeah I think hasta la vista baby is much better personally.
Exact same for me. I'd go even further than "bizarre" and call it a disgraceful thing to have in this day and age but celebrating someone's death is so low.
Come on now…please, that’s so hyperbolic. The amount of events that were and are so much more important than her death is basically impossible to count.Don't even have to leave this decade to find some proper big hitters
Yea and that wasn't a particularly good thing in today's world as she and her family are literally born into it, which is why I can understand people don't want to care to much.
RIP
I am a foreigner. The Queen personified UK for me.

RIP Queen Elizabeth.
I would love this to be Truss going off script.
most certainly! I get that many people find that it’s an important event, but talking about these scales feels really childish and sensationalist to me
I agree. No matter what you think of monarchy, she was quite an inoffensive person really and carried herself with a certain dignity.
Just binged the first 3 years of the Crown on Netflix, which I thought was well done. Looking forward to season 4, although one would imagine they will need to edit the ending now.
It takes a lot of effort and skill for her to have been so apolitical. There is a lot of projection going on where people regardless of political persuasion and views can see her as a surrogate mother or grandmother for the nation. Even die hard Republicans would not criticise her directly over the past 10 or 15 years.
I honestly hope we won't see anything like the tearing of clothes and rending of hair or vice a versa that Diana's death/murder/complete accident brought on but let's not kid ourselves, we are going to see some monumental rending.
Annus horribilis

All depends on your perspective and what you know really.
…and try our new pizza the Charlie topping, 2 for the price of one on this special occasion!
He will be incandescent. Throwing things across the room. "Why couldn't she have died a few weeks earlier!" One of the greatest photo ops in history, missed.
I'm sure he'll still get invited to St Paul's.
..Prince Andrew is a loyal customer at Domino’s
I suppose that is true. What would you say she did that was offensive? Genuinely interested.
New PM and Monarch in the same week. If the rule of three's apply, then what do we need to expect before the end of the week.
Same for me. Without being a fan of the institution that is the British Monarchy, I always appreciated the dignity from the person.
I swear that I cannot imagine the ton of pressure under which the next monarch will find himself. If you think that being a successor to Sir Alex Ferguson was tough for any of the managers who came after, oh boy, that has nothing on what the next king will go through.
If anything, she left the world without much pain and not being dependent on others to live her life. Her supporters should celebrate the life she lived than her passing.
Another time I think.
Klopp gone by Sunday?
RIP
Maybe keep one thread going?

I personally considering protecting sex offenders to be quite offensive, but each to their own
Some of the tweets on my timeline
Die hard republicans don't care of her apolitical behavior that it only served their own survival ( As someone would accept the royals meddling in politics)
Die hard republicans care, among other things, that no one should have the birth right to be in a government institution symbolic power place and have the right over money through taxes, nobiliary titles, corruption, impunity and live on properties plundered along the centuries. It doesn't make sense
You “now is the time to end the monarchy” folks know that King Charles III is already king, right?
No no he said he was going to slink off to some island somewhere and never be seen again. He wouldn't lie to us, would he?
