Queen Elizabeth II DEAD

[Rachey]

When are we allowed to start having discussions (I mean in the media, not moopy) about the future of the monarchy?

Do we think countries like Australia will now want to separate from the UK? I mean, it would be a good time to leave us if it's something they've been thinking about.

I was watching a video today about Charles being a very political king, wanting to be more involved in what happens in politics, and how that could end the monarchy.

A reminder of how much baggage Charles brings to the throne.

Her name is Camilla and she is our QUEEN, have some RESPECT.

Sorry, but there's receipts.

Truly the original 'allow me to be the cat'.

Yes, I think the future of the Commonwealth is very much on the agenda as well.

 

[Tisch]

It is NOT what the Queen would have wanted, after all.

Okay but this actually REALLY WORKS

Okay but this actually REALLY WORKS

Well of course, it is the best song ever made!

 

[octophone]

The papers are absolute madness. An absolute monarchist wankfest.

Which is good for Liz Truss and her appalling, ridiculous policy for dealing with energy bills.

 

[octophone]

Who has a well-timed ballad out today? Who's going to be the equivalent to Diana's "The Drugs Don't Work".

 

[GNL]

The best time to abolish the monarchy was YESTERDAY, the second best time to do so is ASAP.

That'll keep though. I genuinely think there's a huge chunk of people that have no idea of what is coming yet.

 

[funky]

The fun part of the radio at the moment is listening to see what ballad comes on next and checking to see if anyone had actually bothered to check if the lyrics were appropriate

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Radio 6 played Sigor Ros earlier, so it could have been WORSE.

I disagree. For the next 3 weeks the U.K. is being gifted the best free Tourism PR coverage that any country could ask for.

After decades of Toryism and Boris Johnson and Brexit our relevance on the world stage is hanging by a thread and that family, who cost us nothing from a P&L perspective, keep us afloat.

I’m not a royalist but from a MARKETING perspective, they need to stay

I hear this all the time, but it’s horseshit.

We have the history to keep people coming and our cultural relevance is unmatched on the world stage.

Plus we have Abba Voyage now, so…

I think we could maximise tourism profits by allowing them to still be celebrities, but also opening up Buckingham Palace like Versailles and turning Balmoral into an AirBnB

I’m here for that!

I think for the Americas and Asia we are in constant competition with France and Italy and to a lesser degree Spain, Portugal, Germany and Netherlands… removing the royal family would lower our pull IMO. Maybe not for a generation, but it would impact.

I agree that we have way more to offer than the RF, but the British Museum and The National Gallery would never get the U.K. blanket coverage on CNN for a solid 48 hours. I don’t know any other European country that would get so much coverage outside of maybe Putin dying, and that’s not exactly a tourism pull either way…

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I'm so halfway between everything that's being said. "Destroy the system, but keep the celebrities" is about as close as I can get to what I think.

 

[ZenGiraffe]

We have The Crown on Netflix, we don't need the real royals anymore

I keep seeing this one do the rounds and can't get past the implication that Paddington is the Grim Reaper. Huge if true!

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Radio 1 braving the Newsbeat bed again. DONKS ARE ON THEIR WAY BACK!

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Already the 6th biggest death topic on Moopy. Probably won't beat MJ, but she's close to Cilla and Philip as of right now.

Camilla rumoured to be heading in to the relaunched CBB to increase public favor.

I feel that they missed a trick not having Daniel Craig holding her other hand.

If we keep this one for the funeral it's going to be huge.

 

[Rita]

Sorry, QUEEN CONSORT CAMILLA.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

When do we get to gawp at the mourning royals?

We at least get to see Charli III today. He'll be proclaimed the King at some point and make a televised speech.

 

[Sheena]

I'm also disappointed we never got a "BYE HUNS" speech.

I mean, it seems to all have happened fairly quickly, but you think someone would have got a microphone on her...

There is a SPREADSHEET somewhere that shows Royal attractions are way down the list when it comes to tourism revenue.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

I presume 'Liz Truss' will be the cause of death.

 

[big ron]

I mean it doesn't include all the wanky LONDON TAT we probably sell but that no doubt gets sent overseas straight away anyhow

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Also, eliminating the royal family gives us all the crown estates properly. Also, I argue we should take the vast majority of their privately owned land too, since, really, how did they get the money for it?

Courts (the legal building not the deceased furniture store) opened today in the name of His Majesty. It's all very immediate. That's the weirdest shit.
