We don't revere monarchy in Texas...........we crush it.Just waiting on the usual suspects to come in and crap on her memory...(and oh look, there's one already)
But here's some items that I find admirable about her:
During WWII, she joined the army as soon as she turned 18 (as many royals did). But instead of a cushy PR/morale booster job, she trained to be a truck mechanic.
This quote from 1991: "Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born Texans."
She's the only British monarch ever to sing in public. The song she sang? The Star Spangled Banner. She also led a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

No fealty at all to monarchy here.............love seeing it crumble..........in real time.Most of us were also taught not to speak ill of the dead. I have no loyalty to any monarch. I simply found this particular one to be more worthwhile...as someone else's head of state.

Nope............but it (the royal family) was a complete waste of time.......money...........and "respect".......and the admiration from around the world of the "royals" is/was sorely misplacedDude. Can you show us on the doll where the bad monarchy that has no power here touched you?
How soon we all forget why we are AMERICANS and not a British colony.
RIP to a Grand lady.
I doubt there’s anyone left in the Royally Dysfunctional Family who can fill here shoes.
I doubt if Charles can. His best bet would be to "rule" for a year or two, then abdicate to William. The kid at least has the charisma for the job and a good public image.
