Queen Elizabeth II, Queen for 70 YEARS, Dies, Two Days After Appointing Liz Truss Prime Minister, a Portent?
The British have always been blessed with formidable women from Boudicca, to Lady Godiva to Empress Maude, to Elizabeth I to Margaret Thatcher.
On September 8 , 2022, one of the most formidable of the British ladies, Queen Elizabeth II died, after a 70-year reign. She was a veteran of World War II, auto mechanic, truck driver, and blitz survivor.
She appointed the following Prime Ministers: during her reign: Winston Churchill, Anthony Eden, Harold MacMillan, Alec Douglas Hume, Harold Wilson, Ted Heath, James Callahan, Margaret Thatcher, John Major, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, David Cameron, ( whose ancestor was the illegitimate son of one of Elizabeth’s kingly ancestors), Theresa May, Boris Johnson and finally Liz Truss.
She had met, in person, the following American Presidents: Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, John Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden.
She had the longest reign in British History, of any British monarch, including Alfred the Great, Edward the Confessor, William the Conqueror, Edward III, Henry VI, Elizabeth I and Victoria.
She was as eternal as any living institution can get.
She reigned over a shrinking Great Britain in the 1950s, a swinging Great Britain in the 1960s, a depressed Britain in the 1970s, a ruthless Britain in the 1980s, a befuddled Britain in the 1990s, a modern Britain in the 2000s, and an angry Britain in the 2010s.
She leaves her kingdom in a desperate state, on the verge of collapse and implosion.
She leaves her kingdom in the hands of her 73-year-old son, King Charles III.
The same Charles who cheated on his wife, the luminous Princess Diana, for someone who reminds one of Margaret Rutherford. How can the common men of Britain, the descendants of the archers at Agincourt, trust any king who would dump a beauty for Camilla Bowles? This Blogger understands that beauty isn’t anything, but as a Prince, one has an aesthetic responsibility to one’s subjects; one should pick a gorgeous Queen Consort to inspire the working class. A Prince owes a pretty Princess to the working class who pays taxes.
In her later years, Queen Elizabeth was beset by many personal problems, unforced errors by her family.
Why?
Karma, she should not have named her eldest son Charles, a Stuart name. The Stuarts were lousy custodians of the realm heritage. James I was besotted by the Duke of Buckingham, because of the Duke’s comely legs. Seemingly the Duke also seduced the King’s heir, Charles I. That affair only ended with the Duke’s assassination.
That Charles I was beheaded by Cromwell.
His son, Charles II had a reign which saw the Great London Fire and Great London Plague; he died without any legitimate issue; so, his illegitimate son, the Duke of Monmouth, tried to overthrow King James II, his Catholic uncle, by force. He failed; leaving James II to afflict Britain with the bloody assizes; vicious trials which condemned Protestants to slavery in Jamaica or death.
James II was overthrown by a Protestant uprising in the Glorious Revolution.
The Stuarts had bad luck in their reigns; it was bad karma giving her son a Stuart name.
This Blogger likes the Tudors, wasn’t Henry IX available?
Sadly, the Queen’s last days were saddened by the Prince Harry problem; a bastardized ANNA KARINA problem. In his masterpiece, Tolstoy has ANNA KARINA leave her stuffy life for a handsome, swashbuckling young officer. It is Tolstoy’s genius that the handsome young officer deeply loves ANNA. So, ANNA has everything; not only the virility of a handsome young officer but also his love. And he is rich, richer than her stuffy husband.
That is not enough for ANNA; she wants her peer group, the ladies of society she abandoned, to accept her back into their society, even after her transgressions. ANNA wants social acceptance more than love; that is her tragedy.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle left the stuffy royal family to raise chickens and kids in a mansion in tony Montecito, California. According to all the ladies on THE VIEW and the tabloids, they love each other intensely, with a mad passionate amour; constantly indulging in delightful carnal pleasure.
However, they also crave social acceptance from the people they abandoned.
Harry and Meghan can’t stay home in their mansion and raise their chickens and kids privately; they need to flaunt their mad love, to a society they supposedly disdain.
That triggers ANNA KARINA problems.
The Queen should have forestalled this Harry problem; certain friends of this Blogger, with unsavory connections to the Royal family, state that Harry is not King Charles’ son. Harry knows that, and that is the root of his destructive anarchism.
Whatever.
If Harry knew that; then the Queen also knew.
Prince Harry served in a combat zone in Afghanistan, well and bravely. The Queen withdrew him; when she learned that the Taliban knew he was there, and were planning to kill him.
It might have been better to have let Harry die a hero’s death in Afghanistan than write a tell all book in California.
It is not like the British have not gotten rid of a potentially dangerous Prince before, in battle. During the Zulu war, the Prince Imperial, Napoleon IV was conveniently killed by Zulus, in a far-off place; a dead hero, who would have been a live problem to Britain.
Queen Elizabeth died two days after appointing Liz Truss Prime Minister of a staggering United Kingdom, on the verge of bankruptcy, stagnation, social implosion and devolution. Death may have been sweeter for the Queen than seeing the decline of her beloved realm in real time.
“This royal throne of kings, this sceptered isle, This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars, This other Eden, demi-paradise, This fortress built by Nature for herself Against infection and the hand of war, This happy breed of men, this little world, This precious stone set in the silver sea, Which serves it in the office of a wall Or as a moat defensive to a house, Against the envy of less happier lands,--This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.”
This Blogger will discuss Liz Truss in his next Blog.
