She has definitely handled herself with strength, grace and dignity far more than many high profile people in today's world. If she has passed, may God rest her soul.

Some of the news acting as she is already gone.
Not surprising. Everything has to be sensationalized by the news media in order to get the mouse clicks, video views, etc. Neither of those links imply she is dead. They both talk about what the aftermath will be.

From the palace:
"The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon.
The King and the Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow."

May God rest her soul. What a fine lady she was.
Were this the 14th,15th or 16th century we'd be in store for decades of filthy infighting, murder, subterfuge and backstabbing until the throne was once again secured by the slyest and craftiest of self-anointed successor.
She brought class to the crown.

to the british left on shq do you think charles reign could be the end of monarchy in uk ? no one gives a #%&*$# about him, guy life is not very liked, could this push them to finally get rid of if ?
i will say for myself.....have a king doesnt have the same ring as having a ruler queen for so long,almost sound diminutive now. also if the kings die all we get now are consorts ?
I think the monarchy will continue for the simple fact that it's a huge tourist draw for the country and I don't see that changing based solely on there being a different monarch.
