Queen and Parliment

Kachina624 · ‎03-10-2010

Quenn Elizabeth is skipping the opening of Parliament for the first time in 60 years due to "mobility issues". Sounds like she need a little red scooter like mine. She could have one drawn by four white horses.

She seems to be declining rather rapidly.

I am presently watching a show on the Smithsonian Channel. It just had movies of her coronation and her tour of the Commonwealth. She was 25 when she became Queen.

So sad she is missing the opening of Parliament. She really has dedicated her life to being Queen of England.

A very dedicated Queen.

She is and will be in history books as one of the most dedicated, even tempered, and much loved Queens.

What an accomplishment, for sure.

Always wishing beautiful and dedicated Queen Elizabeth the best of health and safety.

I wouldn't say she is declining rapidly, she is 96. She has to be cautious (Covid aside).

Not sure how close you are in age to her, but to the best of my knowledge she is/has been ambulatory all along and doesn't need a red scooter.

I hope she at least watches on TV. I'm sure the BBC will carry it.

It would not surprise me if she "retires" & hands the crown down to Charles (& possibly make Camilla "Queen") by years end.

Sadly, I think the continued chaos created by her family may have accelerated her decline.

I sincerely wish her well, and hope if she does step aside, she is able to do so with her customary grace and decorum.

For the past few years it seemed like she was ever so slowly stepping back and giving others more responsibility.

This past couple decades have the royals dealing with new territory several times. Too many major changes, Andrew's scandal and now the commonwealth nations rumblings. They can only parade Will's kids around the cameras so many times a week.

If the queen would "retire" then Charles could take the reins while mom watched carefully. Sort of like Charles in king-ish training wheels. I mean, realistically, she couldn't retire and totally disappear. She wouldn't know what to do with herself.

The loss of her rock, Prince Philip, started her decline. She is a strong woman and has been able to handle all that has been thrown at her, but I think that was too much for her.
