And Queen Camilla! The coronation is today. These things don't happen everyday, but damn if this isn't a huge "meh"…

They should have abolished the monarchy after QE2 died.

He didn’t fumble. He couldn’t physically and mentally make the trip.

There’s a difference between highly scripted foreign excursions where he’s in public for a few minutes and having to make it through hours of ceremonial events in public. https://t.co/J9OmDTVb6m

Seeing Biden bumble out onto the balcony with them and falling over the railing would have been great. Wearing his aviators.
They could have preserved that history and gone out on a high note. Now they will have to watch the institution continue its slow death.RebelE Infantry said:torrid said:

The monarchy is inextricably linked with British identity. Abolishing it would put the last nail in the coffin of the British as a people.

This. The brits, by and large, love the monarchy, perhaps they have different opinions on the individuals that make up the royal family, but the entity itself is deeply respected and, essentially, loved by the vast majority of the united kingdom, something so foreign to Americans that its really hard to understandRebelE Infantry said:torrid said:They could have preserved that history and gone out on a high note.

I don't think you understand. The monarchy is essential to that which makes the British people a nation. The monarch is the living symbol of that nation. Ending the monarchy would erase whatever is left of them.

My mom followed the Princess Di wedding like it was a fairy tale come true, I remember sitting in the living room with her while she watched it on tv. The last 4 decades since have revealed the royal family to be a collection of weird looking oddballs that live more ****ed up lives than most of us average joes. It's hard to believe the UK government still funds that family.
I learn something new everyday too!YouBet said:Screw me for being American and not knowing! My wife informed me that William assumes the throne.VitruvianAg said:
