QE11's reign was great for me...kept my Constitutional Monarchy Australia orderly, stable, successful.
And as we here all know by now I'm all about "me first in life"...
My first boss' wise words long ago that I gradually got to embrace from about age 30 until present day [should've done it sooner, saved myself some heartache...but I was a slow learner in my teens and twenties]..."Look after yourself first in this world, son...because nobody else will".
Britain is America's greatest ally today.
Canada and Australia are America's allies, QE11 was their Head of State.
QE11 was not the Head of State of China and Russia...they are not America's allies.
The picture is clear to me.
Think the Queen missed her beloved husband greatly...seemed to go downhill quickly after his passing.
QE11 was the first British Monarch to visit Australia ...and toured 16 times during her reign.
She received a 'rock star' reception wherever she went...including indoors.
