I am just speculating that perhaps the death of Prince Philip took a big toll on the Queen's health? A death of a spouse can take a big toll on a person's life.
Both the Queen and Prince Phillip, the Duke of Edinburgh, were married for a long, long time.
Sonick is a genius. I won't go into detail what's so great about his post. But it's damn good!

Within 24 hours of a monarch’s death, a new sovereign is proclaimed formally as soon as possible at St. James’s Palace in London by the “Accession Council.” This is made up of officials from the Privy Council, which includes senior Cabinet ministers, judges and leaders of the Church of England, who are summoned to the palace for the meeting.
Parliament is then recalled for lawmakers to take their oaths of allegiance to the new monarch.
— The new monarch will swear an oath before the Privy Council in St. James’s Palace to maintain the Church of Scotland, according to the Act of Union of 1707.
— The proclamation of the new sovereign is then publicly read out at St. James’s Palace, as well as in Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast – the capital cities of the four nations that make up the United Kingdom.
— Charles must declare to Parliament on the first day of its session following the accession, or at the coronation, whichever is first, that he is a faithful Protestant. The oath is mandated by the Accession Declaration Act of 1910.
— He must also take a coronation oath as prescribed by the Coronation Oath Act of 1689, the Act of Settlement of 1701 and the Accession Declaration Act.
— He must be in communion with the Church of England, a flexible rule which allowed King George I and King George II to reign even though they were Lutherans.
tbh, I am not sure what I am supposed to feel about this, or what impact she has had on the current society. I am neither happy nor sad about it.

LOL I usually support your viewpoints, but you stated yourself that your family came here for a better life... and from all accounts you've done very well and greatly improved your family's prospects and guess what this country is based on? British law and the monarchy.
Now you hate on the system your own family flourished within?

Namo Amida Bustu.
Her portrait hung proudly in the halls of every school - probably not now. I am a bit of an Empire Loyalist. In the end, she is a person like you and me. Just happened to be born into that position. She took on the role and did a fantastic job. Actually, my favourite British Monarch was Queen Victoria.
Hopefully, she died peacefully and with the grace of a queen.

Amazing woman, unfair to pin dislike of the monarchy on her.
A tragic loss.
If she wanted to be Amazing she should have renounced the royal family, stop taking the 80 to 100 million her family gets from tax payers every year, return all the stuff her family has stolen and not protect her pedofile son.
That's such a stupid take, 80-100M is how much of the British economy? For something that's super important to their entire world-wide image as a country... engrained into the very seeds of their culture?
She is/was a massive source of national pride and guidance to the entire nation.
Try thinking of it more as a business that instills a national identity into the entire country (something Canada is distinctly missing mind you, which has allowed for insurgent groups to come in and try to stake their claim to our flag) and it costs pennies on the dollar compared to various war initiatives and numerous other quite unhelpful things.
