Queen Elizabeth II has now ruled The United Knigdom of Great Britiain and Ireland for 60 years, a lot has happened...

Re: Queen Elizabeth II to celebrate 60 years on the Throne
Well having a Monarch does help tourism, although it may only benefit the London area, some may venture further afield.
The Yanks love our monarchy and I'm a royalist.

Re: Queen Elizabeth II to celebrate 60 years on the Throne
Further point of information: she reigns, she does not rule. An important difference.

I'm more interested as to what you think because if this thread is just another excuse to have a bash at "mega rich" people with you spouting factless drivel then i'm not going to bother

Prince Phillip is a legend.
I'm not too keen on Charles, though, and I think his reign may be a damp squib.

William and Kate (and Harry) are the best thing about the Royal Family.
I think it will be in safe hands.
