    Boo hoo. Sorry, but I don’t care about people born into so called royalty and everyone bowing down to them. Sorry for the loss for the family but that’s where it stops

    Respected opinion! They were mostly a "figure head" but loved by many.

    It seems Americans were always more interested in the royal family than actual people that are "ruled" by them.

    246 years ago we wouldn't have flown the flag at half staff.

    Not me and mine. We whipped them and earned our freedom. No one is royalty. Nothing against the queen as she a celebrity, but this infatuation with people who are actually just normal humans is crazy. God bless America.

    YEP. I do not understand American's obsession with royalty, never have. Even when that Diana chick died, I had zero interest. I am -NOT- one of these America-centric people either. I simply don't understand why British Royalty is such a big deal to many in this country. We fought the American Revolutionary War in order to gain our independence from GB.....but it sure seems a lot of American's are obsessed over royalty from these same group of countries we fought to gain our independence from. LOL It's just weird to me. They are simply celebrities who bring in millions of tourism $$$.

    This was my post after I first saw she had died. It was my very first thought knowing it was going to be all over the media....on the news, special after special about her life, etc.

    I may also note that it was the USA that saved their A$$es during WWII. I also want to note that they (HAVE) recognized the past to us, they know the wrongs and rights. Nothing is ever justified until history looks back and see its faults. I still have/had Family from there, Liverpool to be exact. England is not the country it was and ever will be. It is sad now that every TV channel has something on about the queen. Also, I couldn't give a FV_CK about Megan Markel, that's another complete $#!T show!

    Do a research on the definition of "commonwealth". That explains everything why we, USA, fought a war against these turds.
