A Life in Devoted Service: The Passing of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and the Ascent of Charles the Third, by the Grace of God, King of Australia and His Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth By James Reed

By now we all know of the sad news of the passing of the most respected head of state in modern times, Queen Elizabeth II. Naturally enough, great tributes have been made by loyal monarchists across the Commonwealth, celebrating her long reign of service. While there have been problems with some other Royals over the years, Queen Elizabeth II was pure, untouchable, dedicated, loyal, the essence of nobility. This is shown by the tributes that have been given by people who one would not expect to care much about her, and indeed, as republicans, would politically oppose her, or at least be silent.

For example, Leftist Whoopi Goldberg, the last person one would think to honour the Queen tweeted: “Several years ago, I met Queen Elizabeth at The Royal Variety performance of 2009. As she approached me, all I could think of was WTH?? I’m an American kid from the projects and I’m in the company of the Queen of England. I was in awe. Rest in Peace. God save the King.”  And Sylvester Stallone paid tribute by saying: “May this GREAT QUEEN, rest in peace. The world will never see the likes of her again…” How true; and all that from Americans (America being a republic), and Hollywood celebrities too. It shows how great this queen was.

The Reed family has a Queen Elizabeth II story. My youngest brother was with his somewhat eccentric friend Paul and Paul’s girlfriend Sharyn in Adelaide, back in the 1970s. They were walking east along North Terrace, and went over the crossing by Government House. They stopped as a Rolls Royce pulled up in the driveway of Government House. The Queen and Prince Phillip were visiting Adelaide, and were in the Rolls. Our people were standing only a few feet from the Rolls; no police escort or anything in those days. Prince Phillip looked directly at Paul and pointed at him, as if Paul was some sort of interesting animal, which for the times, I suppose he was. The Queen looked on too, puzzled. Then Paul pointed back at Prince Phillip, who at the time was said to have had a bad habit pointing at people. The Queen burst out laughing, Prince Phillip abruptly turned away, and then Her Majesty gave the party a beautiful smile and a wave. At that point Sharyn apparently burst out in tears. It was a grand moment for everyone, and is a great testimony to the warmth and humanity of this great monarch.

LONG LIVE THE KING!
