Will the Royal Family invite DJT to attend the funeral? They had at least 1 meeting which was at least nice (as reported). IIRC it was better received than the Obama's meeting QE. Imagine if she specifically requested him to attend her funeral.

They're safe. They embody what most of us wish for all public persons. We can look on approvingly when they do well, mock them when they're idiots, but at the end of the day, we can turn our backs on them because they don't actually matter.
The pageantry is fun because we have to deal with neither the bother nor expense. We can look on someone like Kate and say, she seems nice, without actually having to care.

I've often felt it would be better, for Britain and for the royals themselves, if the monarchy did still have a degree of genuine political power. I know we're not supposed to think that way, but if people like Charles had some actual responsibilities beyond ribbon-cutting and smiling for the camera, it might do everyone a bit of good.

They did the bloodline thing among the emperors until Nerva. He started the "pick a GOOD successor" routine, and it lasted for about 75 years. Marcus Aurelius screwed up and named his son (who as an emperor would have made a decent gladiator) as his successor, and that was when the whole business began to slide.

Now hold on there. The Antonine dynasty chose their heirs until Marcus Aurelius chose his own son, Commodus.
EVERY other emperor chose his own blood relation or married off a daughter to some dude or whatever.
The empire only got slightly lucky that Nirva was childless and so chose Trajan. Trajan's wife probably chose Hadrian (Trajan might have been shaky on the gay technocrat.) Hadrian murdered a bunch of people and then chose Marcus Aurelius, then engaged in twelfth dimensional fuckery in order to try to put a placeholder in place for when Marcus came of age, Antoninus Pius. None of these men had a blood son. Trajan for whatever reason (busy man.) Hadrian was a flaming gay. Marcus DID have children and chose the horrifically bad Commodus to succeed him.

I think that Charles becoming king raises the odds of the British ending their monarchy fairly dramatically. If he abdicates and lets his smarter, better-liked kid and his wife ascend, it would probably be much better for the monarchy.

I've seen photos of coins struck in Cleo's honor. Those portraits are supposed to be flattering -- and yet her profile reminds you of Barbra Streisand rather than Liza Taylor.

True enough, but you can read too much into that. It was more by accident that you got the Five Good Emperors, because four of them happened not to have children. If Trajan or Hadrian had had a son, he would have named him as heir early on, just as Marcus Aurelius did.
Gladiator notwithstanding, no emperor was going to deny his son the throne. Even Augustus had every intention of appointing his son as heir if he'd had one to make it to adulthood, and he's the one who invented the whole "I'm not really a monarch" fiction. Marcus Aurelius couldn't have acted any differently than he did.

It was a constant concern in Rome. They had kings very early on, then rejected that for the republic. When Caesar rose to power, people were very upset that he was acting like a king, even if he didn't have the name.
Caesar had no son so he had to pick a successor (Octavian, who became Augustus) from several choices.
Augustus, possibly their best emperor, chose a son in law as a successor, not his own blood. He might have picked his son if he'd had one, but he did not.

Did you say the same when Hillary Clinton (and many other Dims, such as WH spokes-dummy Karine Jean-Pierre) was denying the validity of the 2016 election? Or when Tank Abrams was denying the Georgia election? Or when Al Gore was denying the 2000 election?
There was a shit-load more evidence of fraud in the 2020 election than in any of those prior elections, BTW, so Trump's skepticism is much more evidence-based than Hillary's "the Russians colluded with Trump to steal the 2016 election!" bullshit.

Macedonian, as I recall. Alexander conquered Egypt and installed a king and they stayed that way for centuries because Egypt apparently didn't give a crap. In truth, they only controlled the north of Egypt, but that was where the money was.
Until around the mid 20th century, Egyptians didn't even care about their heritage or history. They plundered tombs for treasures then when those ran out, built huts with incredible monuments and structures. What happened to Egypt is truly sad.

Augustus settled at last on Tiberius, who was his stepson, I think (Augustus' wife's son from a previous marriage). I forget how Caligula came to the throne -- he was the son of Tiberius' popular brother Germanicus and of Agrippina the Elder, right? And Claudius, who came next, was also a brother to Germanicus?

I'll miss her when she passes & think she's been a decent role model including, but not limited to, other heads of state.
At 18, she chose to train as a mechanic and military truck driver & she drove a truck during WW2. She remains the only female member of the Royal family to be in the armed forces. She's also the only living head of state who served in WW2.
On Tuesday past she appointed the new UK PM who will cap domestic energy prices & end the tracking ban.

And it turns out I was wrong. The new law is only for residents of the state *outside* of the city where there was previously no rifle licensing required at all. So they just took what was already law in NYC and made it state-wide, which means I'm already licensed.
So for the first time in recorded history living in New York City actually pays off... in that we already put up with so much shit that the laws people in normal parts of the country think of as unbearable, enraging government bureaucratic meddling into your personal life, to us in NYC it's nothing.

God gave Israel the theocracy which if they'd just done what he said, would have worked out great, but they rejected it and wanted a king instead. They had like 3 good kings over hundreds of years.
England has had maybe five good rulers, two of which were women. They've had 61 kings over about 1200 years, and very few were worth a crap. Every few centuries someone invaded and replaced them with new blood because the old blood had gotten so rotten.

As much as I'm inclined to respect the Queen for various reasons, she still oversaw the actual destruction of the UK. Nothing that any following ruler does will matter - their fate is already sealed.

Yeah as much as I like and respect Elizabeth, she did as far as I can tell deliberately gave away the empire, diminishing the UK significantly in world power. But she managed to maintain England as a trade and finance center of the world, shifting the power from land and sea to money.

She didn't give it away, she recognized that the citizens of those countries wanted independence. Should she have followed he GGGGrandfather George III, and declared war on those who wanted their own country?
She handled it graciously.

Harry was on the ground in armored recon vehicles in A-stan, and his initial deployment was kept quiet. If memory serves, some douchecanoe Limey journalist broke the story that he was in country, including his general location and unit. MoD shit bricks and yanked him out on the first flight back to England.
Did another stint in Apaches later on.
I'm thinking that if MoD hadn't got their panties in a wad, he'd have turned out to be okay as Liz's successor.

I'll ask it again. What could she (or GB as a whole) have done? Continue to fight insurrections around the globe with an economy that could no longer finance their military and which their own people no longer supported? Yeah, that sounds excellent.

As best I know, E2, along with her mother, has been the only thing holding the British monarchy together. Older Bits remember the Windsors' strength and steadfastness during the worst of WW II. And E2 has unfailingly upheld those virtues. Her kids, though, are unmitigated disasters -- except maybe Anne. After her second marriage, Anne pretty much straightened up. But Anne is not in the line of succession because she, while she was born first, she wasn't a male. So Chuckie the Idiot it is.

That's a good comparison. And supports my growing belief that Democracy, Sacred (*Spit*) or not, is overrated. You need 2 elements for it to work IMHO:
- a virtuous people (somebody smarter than me pointed that out centuries ago), and
- a reasonably educated people.
We have neither.
