    RIP Queen Elizabeth II.
    During her long reign never really put a foot wrong, no scandals.
    Feels a little like I have just lost my Grandmother

    As ambivalent as I am to the the Royals, I do have a genuine regard and understanding that:

    Elizabeth II, left this world a better place than she found it.

    RIP

    I am definitely not a royalist and do not support the monarchy or the royal family but there is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Queen Elizabeth II had a positive influence on the world we live in and for the she had my respect. Rest In Peace.

    @Rushy
    And here I am thinking you couldn’t wait for big ears to reign!
    It’s going to be hard to hold it all together for the royals now, god she must have cried some tears and felt the shame of her kids. Edward and Anne were the only decent ones
    What an amazing monarch, she certainly had my respect.

    I'm also ambivalent about the royal family, but wonder if we are now a step closer to the Socialist Republics of Aotearoa. I can't be the only one thinking it.

    The Queen is dead long Regina the king!

    Had the privilege to have met both one a hand shake one in conversation. Both where a lady and gentleman.

    I do so hope that the new rein step up to the plate the have a lot to offer to our world.

    Some rise some fall but if it’s this new king or the next, time will tell!

    I do so wish there family peace and good will.

    “Long Live the King”!

    likely time for NZ and Australia to have some serious conversations about that issue - even though I am not a royalist I did admire the Queens attitude - but Charles as our head of state different ball game -He may be in name but to me personally no way
