Marriage goals. Always find a way to keep your partner laughing :)

Liz was not going to take any c**p.

I demand her scones recipe.

Can you imagine? I would have died!

She had a brilliant sense of humour :)

😊😊😊

I remember that. That was the best part of the opening ceremony.

Legend

That's quite an image

Wonderful woman!

And now back together

At first glance, I thought she was the goalkeeper for the Netherlands football team.

I’m not crying, you’re crying. This is a true animal lover. (Though I wish she had rescued instead of bred)

That was very touching and I think it meant so much to anyone here, in the states, who saw it. It was a very kind and heart felt demonstration from our "cousins", which was made even more special simply because it was initiated by the Queen. She will always hold a special place in a lot of American hearts for that one simple gesture.

There's something about this photo, like the meeting of two people who understood the pressure of being a woman in the scrutiny of the media and public opinion. It's like for a moment no-one else exists.

That's not a hoodie. That's a silk scarf on her head. Notice how it's pinned to her hair in front, and a darker edge of the scarf resting on the seat belt.

Firing the last round of the SA-80 rifle, if i recall correctly. Absolutely badass.

She did!

Wow that photo is badass

Edit, and thanks to those good people who kindly pointed out my mistake instead of name calling.

There's a fictional move based on this story "A Royal Night Out"

The Royal Wii?

“First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shalt be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.”

Loving that blue coat!

And the Duke broke ranks and immediately rode up to her. Checked up on her and only when he was assured of her safety has he turned around and moved back to his place. You can find the video on Youtube. It's such a beautiful sight of love, devotion, dedication, service and acceptance of his role of Consort.

Our new King has done the same. He's Charles III.

Should it say Phillip and not William in the first sentence?

She only requested a second visit from one after he left office: Obama.

It's so easy to forget what a stunningly beautiful young Princess she was. And even as a teenager... Duty before Self.

"Largest parade of boats"?

She must have been a great comfort to the children who had to leave their homes. To know that the Crown Princess was thinking of them.

I believe she and I were the same Myers-Briggs personality type (ISTJ). I always loved her sense of humor. 🥰

Italian ones would probably not be recognizable because of too many :-)

Oh God, the other cerebrally challenged POTUS - at least he had some manners and not totally dubious morals of the T.

She could’ve kicked Trump in the balls and got away with it.

What a polite elephant!

Whoa.

Her death was announced via a sign on the gates of the palace, as is traditional.

More interesting at this event was the fact that that was not even a cake knife (as you can see in the photo), but a sabre she had just borrowed from a guard standing by.

So, I guess going forward Charles won't need one. So weird that's she's gone. I mean, it shouldn't be shocking. She was 96 and life a long full life, but still, its just... Shocking. Just like Betty White. ugh.

That was my favorite! The Queen looked like my grandmother. RIP Elizabeth and Gabbie.

What I find interesting is that the Greek royal family (As an offshoot of the Danish royal family following and Danish tradition) did not actually use surnames, and there are anecdotes about Philip when he was younger simply signing his name "Philip". Mountbatten is his mothers family name, (and the name of his which he adopted at the age of 26, after renouncing his Greek and Danish Titles. He was under the legal guardianship of the Mountbatten family from about the age of 9 though. Always, seemed so odd that he was so determined his kids have his name when he didn't even get it until right before he was married.

Amazing!

Check out Prince Phillip. Not pleased. The Queen had to approve all of what was involved in the wedding itself. She looks to be questioning her decision. While Prince William was quietly laughing, her granddaughter Zara sat with her mouth open in a “You can’t be serious”. You don’t usually see this kind of expression on the part of this family.

It may have happenend but it is definitively not that picture ... They are on a balcony, not in a Stadium
