But then, really: what's the point about her? What's the point of having a queen at all?
There is no point, and there is nothing special about the Queen and the royal family other than they were born into a family of wealth and privilege.
If they were all to die in a plane crash tomorrow, our governments would still function just as they do now.
And even though over her 70 yr reign the world has seen probably the best and most positive social changes in the history of humanity, none of those changes were made by or because of the Queen.
She never changed the world, the world changed around her, and the royal family was more or less forced to change with it.
And it's a family that for a thousand years have been racist corrupt murderous thieves, who have stolen everything from jewels to entire countries, where indigenous populations have been oppressed, killed or made slaves.
And many atrocities occured long into Queen Elizabeth's reign, so she is far from innocent. Just ask the indigenous parents of stolen children in Australia and Canada who it was that signed off in approval of this practice?
And apparently it appears racism still plays a role within the palace.
As for privilege, who else but the Queen could buy the freedom of her paedophile son?
And now wing nut Charlie takes the chair.
The man who right from the start slept around behind his wife's back. A wife he treated like pond scum.
No wonder Harry had the good sense to leave.
So while it's a little sad that she died, the reality is that she had a good run, and she was just another person who ate, sh#t and showered just like the rest of us, so the world has not lost anything extraordinary.
To be honest, I think losing Dianna was far more of a tragedy.
In my eyes, the monarchy is something we all should be ashamed of, not something to be proud of and celebrated.
