One very important member that is missing in this video is Her Majesty Queen Mary of Teck, the Queen of King George V, The grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. She was the role model of the next two generations of British Monarch. The education she provided, to then young Princess Elizabeth, brought 70 years of stable and peaceful reign of Queen Elizabeth II. She died just right before the coronation of her granddaughter in 1953.

It's been claimed from a few sources that Prince Philip's death was actually very sudden and not expected at that moment. Allegedly he apparently didn't have his family around hom and the Queen was still asleep when it happened. The story goes he went to the bathroom in the early hours and felt faint when his nurse was helping him back to bed, then that was it. He'd been having heart problems for apparently 30 years by then.

[@changaming1275]

Elizabeth II will always be remembered. Incredibly brave during the war, had a long healthy loving marriage, she ruled her land with love and compassion, caring for every single person in her land and even out of it when worldly officials appeared. She was humorous and a lover of many sweets, Which would still shock people how someone with such a sweet tooth could have lived so long and healthy like she had (until her final months that is). Then there's the fact that she was the longest living monarch to have ruled. She will forever be remembered. I'm from a small town in the USA and when I heard she had died, I actually cried too because she was a part of my life too in a way, along with possibly the entire world. There won't be another Queen like her. Unless Princess Charlotte acts like her great-grandmother in her older years, which I would ADORE.

(Not to mention the fact that the British monarch is the ceremonial Head of the Commonwealth, something that many Americans would consider returning under the British monarchy.) If it had happened in the late 1800s or the 1900s, then America might have become a Commonwealth member. As an American myself, I actually would support the creation of an international union of Anglophone countries to promote and preserve the English language much like the OIF does for French. (I support linguistic diversity, but English is one of the most useful languages to know and speak, and its status as an international lingua franca makes such a union appropriate IMO.) At the very least, I want to keep our alliances with Britain, Canada and Australia strong, and an organization like that would help make it stronger yet.

[@hotwax9376]

@@r.knight891 As a side note, while Americans today are generally pro-British in their attitudes (myself included), you will still see people every now and then who still hold bitterness over the American Revolution (or in the case or Irish Americans, the various abuses committed by the British when they ruled Ireland). And while it was understandable why a Patriot during the Revolution might have hated Britain, it makes no sense at all today. In fact, I would argue that it's a form of self-loathing. For an American today to hate Britain is to hate their own cultural heritage. Although modern America is a melting pot and should be celebrated for that, its religious, political and social institutions (not to mention, of course its primary language) all trace their origins back to Britain.

What’s interesting and a big ‘what if’ is what would have happened if Edward VIII hadn’t abdicated, had his brother (Queen Elizabeth’s father) hadn’t become king? He didn’t have any children, so it’s likely that Elizabeth would still have been next in line and ascended upon his death in 1972, when she was 46.

[@Azzaisback]

The first time that Elizabeth II was mentioned by the title ''Her Majesty The Queen'' in especially sad circumstances made way for history.

[@redmustangredmustang]

Goes to show how long the Windsors can live for if the Queen Mother, Phillip, and Elizabeth lived even to their 90's (Queen Mother 102). Makes you think how long Charles can last.

[@zombiemagic78]

Yes! And the others didn’t unfortunately due to their excessive amount of smoking.

[@redmustangredmustang]

@@zombiemagic78 with Harry and William they'll be around in the media for years to come even if Charles is 74. Just depends how those Windsor genes take over. Hell there are people who smoke and drink and still live to an old age. Modern medicine kept Elizabeth and Phillip alive for that long.

[@zombiemagic78]

@@redmustangredmustang That’s true - look at Jeanne Calment! They all had smoking-related health problems but others like Calment can stand it in her body!

[@tammylewis2408]

@@redmustangredmustang Queen Elizabeth had her mother's longevity genes and was more careful in how she took care of herself. Her sister, on the other hand, was the rebel daughter who drank, smoked, and partied with celebrities, which caused her health problems and shortened her life. The Queen's stress over Harry and Phillip's declining health and death eventually caused her death. It's hard to tell whether or not Charles will live to be in his 90s. At one point, he may abdicate for William, but I think he is holding on until the grandkids (George, Charlotte, and Louis) are older so that William and Catherine can adjust to their roles as Prince and Princess of Wales, and that William is able to raise the kids while he's young.

I also noticed that as soon as the announcement was made that she was very sick, everybody started appearing on TV in mourning suits. Some of them already were no doubt told to put those on before they went on air, because of course they know that they are going to tell us that she is sick, before they tell the world. They all remained in those outfits, so it was pretty obvious to me it was to be imminent & she was going to die in a matter of hours. Of course then everybody appearing on TV was wearing mourning clothing even guests doing scheduled interviews that were appearing by Videolink, I noticed all of them at least tried to do their best to wear a black jacket or a black jumper or something similar. Then of course a couple of hours later we got the sad announcement that she had died & of course nobody appeared on TV not wearing black then!

Diana, I got up, and my mum was in the lounge with the TV on as Tony Blair was talking, I said, "What've they done to her now, mum said she's died darling. Queen Elizabeth II, I had just got in from work we had heard the earlier reports but the moment I turned the TV on they announced her death. It is sad when you knew exactly where you were when such announcements were made.

[@zombiemagic78]

There are traditionally, right? But the Prime Minister is the lead role

[@OrganMusicYT]

@@zombiemagic78 no, there aren't. When James VI of Scotland inherited the English throne in 1603 on the death of Elizabeth I, this created the Union of the Crown. He set about creating the Union Jack flag as well, the flag of the United Kingdom, Jack being short for Jacobus, the Latin version of James. It took until 1707 until the parliaments of Scotland and England were United, creating the United Kingdom of Great Britain. No one has been crowned King/Queen of England or Scotland since. The Kingdoms of England and Scotland were United, hence the name United Kingdom. It is the United Kingdom which is the sovereign State and not the separate countries which make up the UK.

[@zombiemagic78]

Ohh that’s what I thought - thank you for clarifying this to me! I was on the right track that the monarch is the the King of many parts in the United Kingdom (Northern Ireland, Wales… etc.) But I didn’t know this part. Thanks a lot!
