This is very much a person I was aware of 3 minutes ago. Yep.
- Frankly, it wasn't until I read the word "monarch" in the title (heh) that I wasn't 100% wondering how she took the crown from Charles. 🤫
Good abdicated Queen
- Did she abolish the monarchy? Otherwise, who cares
I prefer the more traditional transition of power:

Someone kills the monarch and claims the throne.

Royalty has it too easy today: wealth with no risk.
It’s to distract from the recent rumours her son, the crown prince, is having an affair with a socialite.
Who voted for him?
