Any other blokes out there think that the Queen was a bit of a fox when she was younger?  I definately do.  However, I think Princess Margaret was foxier.  She was like the Emma Peel of the Royal Family.  Wow!  She was gorgeous!

Well, I think I am pretty.  \n\nOh, wait!  You mean the queen of England.  LOL\n\nWell, I thing Queen Elizabeth II was pretty when she was younger.  She looked a lot like Prince Charles in the face.  Now she just looks like herself.  \n\nPrincess Margaret was very pretty, I thought.

It was an excellent show, although I enjoyed the documentary The Queen at 80 that was shown on the 18th more. It was an interesting look behind the scenes, although they could have put more history behind royal portraits. I do have to admire Rolf's enthusiasm, and seeing the process behind the portrait. \n\nThere's a special on the 27th of June with Scott Thompson called Pop Up Royals (or something like that) and I'm looking forward to seeing that too.

My daughter loved Lizzy McGuire and when I seen her for the first time I commented on how pretty she was and when she grows up she'll be drop-dead gorgeous (well NOT!!!). It's not just the teeth she needs to eat her face has shrunken in and with the addition of the big teeth it just doesn't make her look very good at all when she had so much potential before.

If your project is due tomorrow you can't do this, but if you have some time you should go see the film "The Queen" that's out right now. It is about Queen Elizabeth II. Not that that's going to be enough to do your report on, but it will give you a feel for her before you actually read up about her.

The Sultans play more of a "ceremonial" role- Very similary to the Queen of England.  In England, parliment and the Prime Minister make the decions but the Queen and the Royal Family serve as a figure head.

I'm the American son of a British father, so I hold dual national status and carry both US and UK passports. I am thus able to view this from both perspectives, I think, so I'll toss in my two cents/pence.\n\nThe Royals are indeed pointless in terms of actual power and general usefulness (the Queen is only the titular head of state and wields no real power that I can see -- and quite right too!) and they cost the British taxpayer an absolute fortune to house, clothe, feed and protect in the almost obscene luxury and style to which they are accustomed. \n\nThat said, they also bring in mega tourist dollars/pounds/euros and all the media attention associated with prestige, pomp and circumstance. I sometimes wonder if they are more beloved in the former British colonies than at home. Odd, that. Still, there are very clearly many Britons who remain loyal and supportive of the titular monarchy, even as there are many who would love nothing better than to see them deposed and made to work for a living. It is quite a conundrum, isn't it?\n\nAs to your query about why they interest people so much, your guess is as good as mine. I expect it's because we live in such a celebrity culture (on both sides of the pond and in most other modern, westernized nations, as well) and people just can't get enough of this sort of thing. It goes without saying that I am made nauseous by this fact, but I am hardly representative of either my fellow countrymen or those in the land of my forebears. \n\nFor what it's worth, I think the much-maligned Prince Charles is actually an intelligent and generally decent man with sound ideas regarding the environment, architecture, etc. His father is a complete jackanapes who puts his foot in his mouth on a regular basis. The Queen herself is okay with me, albeit as pompous and dowdy as a modern monarch could even dream of being. I always liked the late Princess Diana and was sorry for her tragic loss. I like Fergie, as well. Prince William seems a decent and responsible sort but Harry is trouble and will doubtless remain so, his training at Sandhurst notwithstanding.\n\nI'll not bother with the rest of the Royals and I expect you have your own well-formed views in any case. I think the best and fairest thing to do would be for the British people to hold a referendum on the desirability of the monarchy, literally a popular vote with an up or down verdict. I confess I would be very intrigued to see the end result. Please keep me posted, ok?

I think the convention goes that it's passed to the Progeny, so Wills comes after Elizabeth and Charlie.  As for the Edward VIII question, there are a couple of ways that could've played out.  There's some guy in Australia who could've inherited the throne by now instead of Elizabeth.

I agree with you.  It was her religion and her love for Henry the Eight that kept her going.  She always felt he would come back to her.  Henry did treat her very bad.  All that just to get a male heir to succeed him.

Ariel, Pocahantes or Mulan.  One who didn't fit the typical blonde princess stereotype.

Ah, every one love a confrontiation!  I just got done answering a question about why the world will never have world peace and I wish i could tag this to the last responsse.\n\nYou Brits are witty, but a "bone of a wolf" would and could never be used to properly till the soil here in the Americans.  Possibly a Bison.\n\nNice try though!\n\nHappy hateful hunting and may "long live the queen"

Lol @the Shrek observation=)\nHow perceptive of you indeed=P Never thought of it before... *interesting*\nLike what is his deal with taller women, huh e.g. Nicole Kidman now Katie? Have no clue as to ex-Mimi's height but ex-gf Penelope was standing head to head with him, I think.\nPlus with the magic of photoshop these days I'm not surprised those pictures in tabloids were doctored.

How can a girl from an obscure Disney show have so many fans? I see a question or two about her on here everyday. She's alright, and looks fine. It's a shame when Hollywood and the music industry make young girl stars feel so insecure about their looks, they feel they have to change them aka Ashlee Simpson! I like Brenda Song, what about her, she does a good job, don't you think?

As an American, I have nothing to say about it but then again, the average British subject has nothing to say about it either.  Prince Charles has done very little to regain the popularity he lost following his split with Princess Diana.  His ongoing relationship with Parker-Bowles made him look out of touch with reality, yet the age spread between himself and Diana may have been the biggest problem between the two. They probably could not identify with each others generation. Prince William seems to be the odds on favorite for taking over the throne.  One has to wonder if Charles really wants the job anymore.  His mother could step down and let him have some of the glory, yet she chooses not to relinquish her authority.  I doubt that his marriage to Camille has helped his relationship with mum. So, he may be taking the path of the old Duke of Windsor, its not as though he needs the money.  William would be a fine choice as the next King of England.
