Why do we feel we need to worship these people, be it royalty or celebrities? They are just people, like you and me who happen to be famous.
People are dying in Gaza too, maybe spare a tear for them.
She was a real queen, albeit with little power. What is a fake queen?
>Why do we feel we need to worship these people, be it royalty or celebrities?
Can you point to anybody worshipping her? Talking about a person or showing them respect is not worship.
>People are dying in Gaza too, maybe spare a tear for them.
Can people not do both?
This media circus, is a form a worship.
Sure people can cry for a person such as the Queen, a person they do not know except for what they see on TV or in other forms of media. Personally I don't get it, I think Israel bombing Gaza killing children (just an example) is far more sad
Although she was Commander-In-Chief, she gave responsibility to the prime minister and the Secretary of State for Defence, along with other officials. Theoretically she could have ordered a strike against the white house but this would be vetoed by the govt.
She had the ability to declar war, however the government doesn’t need the Queen’s permission.
She could have issued an order of Dissolution of Parliament, but parliament is not the same as the government. The British government is the one that actually rules in the UK. Also such an act would have caused an absolute uproar among UK citizens and probably ensured the beginning of a Republic
So she has "power" in name only, but no real power which was my point, everything has been taken away from her ... and now also King Charles.
