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.
