  1. He became horrible, as many of us do after severe injuries and life's trials. In his younger years he was not horrible.

  2.  @hannannah1uk  You seem not to understand how it works. Queen Elizabeth's mother was Queen and Empress. She was never crowned. Crowning of both Monarch and their Consort is extremely rare in British and English history. I can only think of one example, William and Mary, both crowned in 1689.

  10.  @EresirThe1st  The Queen is not a fence-sitter. She is forbidden from intervening in politics. The last Monarch who did that, lost his head.

  11.  @EresirThe1st  Not true at all. Every Act presented by the UK Parliament to the Monarch has been given Assent.

  12.  @EresirThe1st  Nothing wrong with some wanting a Republic. In the UK about 20%. All they have to do is to get it into a manifesto and hey presto, the UK can become a Republic. Same with any of the Commonwealth Realms.

  14.  @simongarthwaite7695  Mugabe was elected, so was the Nazi Party. The brutal dictator and murderer of Cambodia Hun Sen has been elected several times, according to him. President Xi was elected, but wont be anymore, because he has declared himself lifetime President. Stalin was elected, killed at least 20 people. All Presidents of the USA since WWII were elected, all them either liars, war mongerers or thieves.
