Amazing that she is all that most of us know as the head of the British Monarchy. A great leader throughout the past 70 years. She was a great role model.

It is rare when a world leader is well liked by pretty much everyone.

RIP Queen. Condolences to the royal family and UK citizens everywhere.

I guess I shouldn’t be shocked but she’s been there for my whole 60 year life, known no on else. 96 is a long life, though I wouldnt have wanted hers. I’m not a big Royal watcher and don’t like Charles very much but still there’s something about all of that gives me pause. RIP Queen Elizabeth.

Very sad indeed. I remember her first official visit to Canada in the 1950's to open the St. Lawrence Seaway. She ruled with great charm and dignity. She will be dearly missed.

It will be interesting to see if King Charles can hold up to scrutiny in this age and what that will mean for the Royal Family.
