Stilly River Sage Queen Elizabeth II / King Charles (254* d) RE: Queen Elizabeth II / King Charles 13 Sep 22


There has been a lot of coverage here in the US, though most of the news channels switched back to the political stuff here after a couple of days (Trump has been trying to wrangle an invitation to the funeral but Biden would have to approve it. No way that's going to happen.) We heard announcements from all of the living presidents and only Bide is the one who should speak for his family and for the American people, but Trump tried to speak for the American people also, like he's still pResident. That alone would get him banned from going. When some specific event during this mourning period happens I imagine we'll hear or see it, then go back to regular programing.

There is a video out there on Twitter or Instagram of one of her security officers of long standing telling a story about his work with the Queen. They were walking through the woods near her Scotland home and came across two American hikers who apparently didn't recognize her. They spoke politely for a few minutes, the Americans asking if she live there. "No, I live in London, but I have a summer house here." The conversation is probably well known to all of the UK group, how she never identified herself and ended up having her photo taken with the two. And told her security guy that she'd love to be the fly on the wall when they showed their travel photos to others.
