Then it got changed for Lizzy... so now it would just change back again. Song was first introduced in 1745 when George II was King. Changed to God Save the Queen for Victoria after the run of 4 male monarchs ended. Re-branded as God Save the King when Edward VII took the throne, then another run of 4 male monarchs until Elizabeth II reverted the song back to God Save the Queen. Despite the lopsided number of male vs female monarchs (now 9-2) since the introduction of the song in September 1745, the word “Queen” has been used just under half the time, 134 years vs 143, thanks to the much longer reigns of Victoria and Elizabeth II compared to any of the men, save for George III. blue_gold_84 1

No , I wouldn't because it's insulting for mourners. The world needs alot more courtesy not more Maga style insults and mocking. It will be interesting to see where he takes it. He certainly will be a supporter fighting climate change and of the Green movement in general . But walking in her shoes is a tall order. Correct me if I'm wrong. But is www.morningbigblue.com now a place where funerals are held? Or is it on the internet and a place were opinions are purposefully meant to be shared?

Wideleft Posted September 9, 2022 Report Posted September 9, 2022 Buckingham Palace banned ethnic minorities from office roles, papers reveal The Queen’s courtiers banned “coloured immigrants or foreigners” from serving in clerical roles in the royal household until at least the late 1960s, according to newly discovered documents that will reignite the debate over the British royal family and race. The documents also shed light on how Buckingham Palace negotiated controversial clauses – that remain in place to this day – exempting the Queen and her household from laws that prevent race and sex discrimination. The papers were discovered at the National Archives as part of the Guardian’s ongoing investigation into the royal family’s use of an arcane parliamentary procedure, known as Queen’s consent, to secretly influence the content of British laws. Exemptions from the law In the 1960s government ministers sought to introduce laws that would make it illegal to refuse to employ an individual on the grounds of their race or ethnicity. The Queen has remained personally exempted from those equality laws for more than four decades. The exemption has made it impossible for women or people from ethnic minorities working for her household to complain to the courts if they believe they have been discriminated against. In a statement, Buckingham Palace did not dispute that the Queen had been exempted from the laws, adding that it had a separate process for hearing complaints related to discrimination. The palace did not respond when asked what this process consists of. The exemption from the law was brought into force in the 1970s, when politicians implemented a series of racial and sexual equality laws to eradicate discrimination. Queen’s consent Some of the documents uncovered by the Guardian relate to the use of Queen’s consent, an obscure parliamentary mechanism through which the monarch grants parliament permission to debate laws that affect her and her private interests. Buckingham Palace says the process is a mere formality, despite compelling evidence that the Queen has repeatedly used the power to secretly lobby ministers to amend legislation she does not like. The newly discovered documents reveal how the Queen’s consent procedure was used to secretly influence the formation of the draft race relations legislation. In 1968, the then home secretary, James Callaghan, and civil servants at the Home Office appear to have believed that they should not request Queen’s consent for parliament to debate the race relations bill until her advisers were satisfied it could not be enforced against her in the courts. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2021/jun/02/buckingham-palace-banned-ethnic-minorities-from-office-roles-papers-reveal
