Do you think she can defeat the King of Kings Louis XIV?






Queen Elizabeth II officially became the world's second-longest serving monarch of all time on Sunday, having officially reigned as head of state for 70 years and 126 days.

Her majesty, 96, has overtaken Thailand's late king, the ninth monarch Bhumibol Adulyadej, who died in 2016.

Louis XIV of France, known as Louis the Great or the Sun King, still holds the title for longest-serving sovereign with 72 years and 110 days. He was on the throne from 1643 until 1715.

On May 9, Elizabeth surpassed Johan II of Liechtenstein, who served for 70 years and 91 days, until his death in February 1929.

The queen became the longest-reigning British monarch in September 2015, surpassing her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. Elizabeth was crowned on June 2, 1953.

2 years is a loooong time when you're in your 90s

But for the record her mother lived to be 101

I feel like she is gonna go sometime soon. I keep thinking about her occasionally, even though I'm not even British. But I keep having this expectation that sometime soon ill suddenly hear she's dead. Or about to die. It has to happen eventually.....

Supposedly the British government is terrified of that day. They expect all of the UK to just fucking halt in their tracks. And it will be the biggest funeral in human history I bet

oh but also, I predict she will be the final British monarch to die on the throne

I think after she is gone, the public will be suddenly more receptive to dumping the monarchs. I forget the name of the man next in line but I predict he dies a commoner. The royal family will get their position dissolved

Charles is next and you're right, he's exetremely unpopular.

I don't think the monarchy will die before he does. But I do think after Liz 2 dies, the love of the monarchy will die too.

Even people in the UK who don't like the monarchy still like Liz 2.

"She was with us when we won the world cup, she lived through WW2, she got us through The Troubles, she comforted us after the Londom Bombings." that contunity adds up

Charles bumbling around talking about how "Fat people just need to stop eating McDonalds." doesn't carry any weight or support

I might suggest it

To be fair he's kind of right

It's so fucking weird that the UK monarchy has become a right/left divide in US politics.

Fox News talking about how great Liz is and how bad Harry is every day for months was and is so fucking bizarre.

Wonder if Trump would be invited to her funeral. Wonder if any living president would go to Trump's funeral.

Charles will take over.

But the Monarchy is doomed once she dies. Liz 2 is exetremely popular. Charles isn't hated per say but he is just kinda openly disrespected as being a moron.

Basically there is no respect in the UK for the monarchy. It's used as a tool for tourism and the Queen makes nice speeches for the public sometimes. (Also used to be a figurehead for international meet and greets before she got too old)

I don't think there will be a dramatic push to end it under Charles. But will just slowly die out over the years

There'll be no UK monarchy in the 22nd century
