Her son, the crown prince, then had a choice to marry any lady actually but he chose an engaged/married woman/divorced (the exact status was vague) a.k.a potential scandalous suitor. She didn't predict the massive scandal bought by Diana & Charles marriage/divorce. So, after so many years, she allowed her grandchildren to marry on their own account. And Charles too. So let past be gone. Sure we hate what they did to Diana but then again she tragically passed away for years now... I say we, the normal human being just need to bury the hatchet on this & move on.

The title was used as officially the royal houses of India remained in post and owed allegience and fealty to the British Crown and formed a key part of the administration of British India. Large parts of India had, up until the British led conquest, been ruled or at least dominated by the Mughal Emperors and their defeat led to calls for the British Monarch to be declared Emperor of the Empire of India. (As opposed to of the British Empire as a whole). There were suggestions made by Victoria herself that she should be made Empress of Britain Ireland and India to match the royal status of the German, Austrian and Russian monarchs, but this was deemed to be too controversial in Britain.

A real woman and total class. She shot an Accuracy International L85 bullpup rifle (5.56mm).

[@petermendoza1170]

I'm still saddened of her passing. The Monarchy is not the same. I don't think people will look at King Charles,or ANYONE ELSE in the family with such love and affection as we did whenever we saw Her Majesty, even if on television. 😪

[@rohtati1020]

I agree with you 💯✔️

[@nancydschans1172]

Myself also...I miss HRM The Queen of England. I enjoyed hearing and watching her. When she spoke everyone in England listened. I also think Prince William and Princess Kate will be the only ones to bring their kingdom back together. I never thought charles could do anything to promote or sustain England's kingdom because of camilian (camilla.) That terrible scene told me charles way of dealing with terrible events that charles brings it all on to himself.

@The Guy who asked and cares I think "the world shed a tear through her passing" is an exaggeration. Not everyone felt bad about her passing away. And plus, "she was the queen of India" that too in 1961 is faker than those youtube influencer prank videos. How was she the queen of India in 1961 when we got independence in 1947? It was a visit, not because she was the queen of India.
