Queen Elizabeth II

Disclaimer: I wrote this as a what-if obituary before Her Majesty actually died.

The death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on November 5, 2022 shook England, Great Britain and most importantly her family. Her funeral will be on Nov. 15 at Westminster Abbey. Afterwards, her body will be buried inside a tomb at King George VI Memorial Chapel in St. George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle, with the Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip’s body after his coffin is transferred from the Royal Vault.

Born on April 21, 1926 in Mayfair, London, England; Elizabeth proved even as a young child to be organized and responsible, traits that were rare in a child but necessary to a queen. A governess and visiting teachers provided her at-home education. The funny thing is that the queen wasn’t always destined to be England’s monarch. Originally, her uncle was king until he abdicated the throne. Her father succeeded him, replacing his title of Duke of York with that of King George VI. Since Princess Elizabeth had no brothers and was the eldest, she was next in line.

In February of 1945, she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service. She married Prince Philip on November 20, 1947 with whom she had four children: Prince Charles (Prince of Wales), Princess Anne (Princess Royal), Prince Andrew (Duke of York) and Prince Edward (Earl of Wessex). Her coronation was on June 2, 1953. While she toured internationally in 1957, there were assassination attempt scares. “She has indeed ‘the heart and stomach of a man.’…She loves her duty and means to be a queen,” Harold MacMillan remarked of the queen’s intrepid response. The queen also had a witty side. In a conversation with the queen’s sister, Princess Margaret, a thriller writer commented of a work in progress, “I desperately need a title.” The queen, who had just entered the room, joked, “I cannot think of a reason for giving you one.”

Queen Elizabeth II is survived by her son, Prince Charles, and his children, Prince William and Prince Harry. Prince William’s children George, Charlotte and Louis will have memories of her to look back on. Prince Harry’s children, Archie and Lilibet (named for the queen’s own childhood nickname) will remember her fondly. The queen’s daughter, Princess Anne, and her own son, Peter Philips, and daughter, Zara Tindall, also mourn her. Peter’s daughters, Savannah and Isla, miss her. Zara’s children, Mia, Lena and Lucas will always remember their great-grandmother. The queen’s son, Prince Andrew, and his daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie will look back with nostalgia. The queen’s son, Prince Edward and his children, Lady Louise and Viscount Severn James will remember her as an exemplary monarch and a beloved mother and grandmother.

Prince Charles will succeed Queen Elizabeth II to the throne. A large portion of funds will go to the British Red Cross and other charities.

“When life seems hard, the courageous do not lie down and accept defeat; instead, they are all the more determined to struggle for a better future,” Her Majesty stated in a 2008 Christmas broadcast. We will all now have to struggle for a better future without the amazing woman who said those words.

Princess Anne Missed Royal Family Christmas Service at Sandringham for a Relatable Reason

Princess Anne stayed home on Christmas morning for her health. The Princess Royal, 72, was visibly missing from the traditional Christmas church service at Sandringham with the royal family on Sunday. According to Hello!, Anne was absent because she had a cold.

While Princess Anne wasn't present, several members of the royal family gathered at Sandringham for the first Christmas without Queen Elizabeth, who died at age 96 in September. Anne's children Zara Tindall and Peter Phillips made the morning walk with their families to St. Mary Magdalene Church near Sandringham House.

Zara, 41, was accompanied by her husband Mike Tindall and their daughters Mia, 8, and Lena, 4, while their 1-year-old son Lucas was likely deemed too young to attend. Peter, 45, walked with his daughters Savannah, 11, and Isla, 10, whom he shares with ex-wife Autumn Kelly.

Though Anne had to miss the royal family's traditional stroll, which marked the first in three years due to the Coronavirus pandemic, she'll end the year with an impressive accomplishment. The Princess Royal carried out the most formal engagements of any member of the royal family in 2022, according to a tally by Reboot SEO Company using the Court Circular.

According to the data, Princess Anne has undertaken 214 engagements this year, ahead of her brother King Charles III, who clocked 181 engagements in the last 12 months. Anne kept her crown as the hardest-working member of the royal family for the second year running, having logged 387 official engagements in 2021, The Times reported, ahead of Charles, 74, who attended 385 events.

Anne also took on a number of personal duties this year. These included accompanying her mother's coffin from Scotland, where the monarch died at Balmoral Castle on Sept. 8, back to the U.K.

"I was fortunate to share the last 24 hours of my dearest mother's life," Princess Anne said in a statement released by Buckingham Palace in the days after Queen Elizabeth's death. "It has been an honour and a privilege to accompany her on her final journey."

Princess Anne was the only female member of the royal family to take part in the funeral procession for the Queen. She also made history as the first female participant in the Vigil of the Princes. This is when all of the late monarch's four children stood a symbolic watch at their mother's coffin over St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh.

King Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward later performed the ritual again when the Queen was lying in state at Westminster Hall.

Mike Tindall: 'Zara and I are planning to send Mia back to school in June'

By Eleanor Steafel for The Telegraph

Mike Tindall has spent much of lockdown asking himself a question by now familiar to parents up and down the country: what would a teacher do?

Over the past eight weeks the Tindalls have joined the legions of families juggling homeschooling one child while keeping a toddler occupied, supporting vulnerable loved ones from afar, and trying to get some work done in between it all. With his wife Zara still needing to put in the hours training her horses on the Gatcombe Park estate in Gloucestershire, where they live, the programme of year one classes for their eldest daughter Mia, six, has mainly been shepherded by Mike - to varying degrees of success.

“Zara still has hopes that the horses will get back, they still need training and working on, so I get to be a teacher in the mornings which is sometimes really nice, sometimes really frustrating,” he tells me over Zoom. His Zoom background, incidentally, looks like a rather impressive bookcase but in fact, he reveals with a wry smile, “It’s wallpaper, I’m not that well read.”

The homeschooling, he says, hasn’t always been a walk in the park. “I don’t think any child is a great homeschooler because they definitely listen to other people better than they listen to their parents.

“[Mia] can be brilliant one minute and then something you’ve seen her do a thousand times she’ll just go ‘I don’t know how to do that’ and then you go ‘well I know you do’, and she’ll just say ‘no I don’t’ and then you get frustrated, and you’re trying not to get frustrated.”

Doubtless a familiar scene for the millions of parents currently attempting to provide an education from their kitchen table. “She enjoyed it the first week because it was different being around Mum and Dad all the time,” he says. “But then, ultimately, it’s the same people who are telling her off or telling her what to do and I think then she gets bored of that.”

They are hoping Mia will return to school on June 1st, as per the government’s plan to allow reception, year one and year six children back in the classroom. “The plan is, at the moment, that she would go back but obviously that’s still up in the air,” he says. “Every day you read different things... we’ll just have to wait.

“There is no ideal situation,” he adds, but is encouraged by statistics suggesting children are unlikely to suffer from coronavirus or pass it on to adults. “As long as they’re doing everything they can to make it as safe as possible,” he believes reopening would be a positive step.

He’s also keen to ensure the girls maintain their independent spirits. “They definitely enjoy having that full time attention, but you also want them to have some independence. That’s the side you want them to keep developing.”

Tindall is also navigating the tricky business of supporting parents who are shielding. His mum and dad live 200-odd miles away in West Yorkshire; his dad, Phil, has lived with Parkinson’s for 17 years, and his mother, Linda, has asthma. They have just started to go for the odd dog walk, but have mainly been confined to the house since mid-March. “It’s just tough... they don’t want to be cooped up but they are very worried about going too far afield and getting too close to everyone else.”

His brother Ian lives a few miles from them, “which is reassuring,” though he worries what would happen if his dad had a fall, as he would be unable to enter their house. “It would be very difficult for my mum to move a dead weight. And if his medication wears off and he can’t move and he’s not in a place where he can sleep then mum’s got to try and get him into bed.

“It’s just very tough for her. It’s pretty much like that most of the time but at least [usually] she knows that she’s got my brother on the doorstep... If you don’t have that it just doesn’t make [for] a very nice environment.”

WhatsApp video calls have taken the place of in-person visits, enabling them to chat to their grandchildren and watch them playing. That is, when Mike can “make them understand how a phone works. Most of the time I’m talking to [Dad’s] head or up his nose. But once you get that sorted you can get the kids on and that’s what they miss.”

However good the technology, however, “you still can’t have a hug,” he says. “Everyone loves a hug.”

When they are next able to be together, he and Zara’s youngest daughter, Lena (who is about to turn two, and counts Prince Harry among her godparents) will have changed a fair amount in the time since her grandparents last saw her. “It could be six months since their last visit and a lot changes at that age in six months. All you can do is keep taking photos and videos and sending it to them.”

They are yet to see his mother-in-law Princess Anne, who lives in another house on the Gatcombe Estate, in the flesh, but she has been getting to grips with tech, too. Many royal engagements are now being carried out via video: the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge popped up on Zoom to surprise a Bingo session at a care home this week, while even the Queen, who is isolating at Windsor, has got on board, receiving a video call from baby Archie on her birthday.

“It’s busy still for them,” he says of Princess Anne, who appeared on a call with World War II veterans earlier this month to mark VE Day. “She works so hard with all her charities and she’s still got a lot to do, so they’re still in full flow.”

Disappointingly, there have been no Zoom quizzes with the Cambridges or Sussexes, or competitive sourdough action on their WhatsApp group. “Actually it hasn’t been that active,” he laughs. “I think everyone is just getting on with it.”

The former England captain has always worn his royal links lightly - in part, one imagines, thanks to his upbringing. He eschewed university, instead joining Bath Rugby at aged 18 and making his national debut against Ireland at Twickenham in 2000. He now realises that this was the same year his dad started to show the initial symptoms of Parkinson’s disease, although it would be another three years until it was diagnosed.

That delay is one reason he is so determined to raise awareness. His annual celebrity golf day raises around £90,000 every year for the Cure Parkinson’s Trust, and though the tournament can’t happen this year, he is running an online auction to raise funds for the Trust, the NHS and the Matt Hampson Foundation, with proceeds to be split between them.

Tindall hopes he can “raise a fair few coins for the coffers”, particularly for the charity founded by his friend Matt Hampson, who became paralysed from the neck down in a rugby accident in 2005, and is currently in the vulnerable category during lockdown. “He is already permanently on a ventilator with his fractured and dislocated neck, and he doesn’t know if he can go out until there’s a vaccine.”

Tindall seems a pretty level-headed, get on with it sort of man, but admits he has spent the last two months “up and down a little bit,” he says. “You get to spend a lot of time with the kids and family which is unbelievable.” But life is also “in a bit of limbo, and you’re trying to fill the day with positive things to keep you mentally attuned and focused.”

A day always works better, he says, “when there’s a bit of a plan around it so you don’t wallow the hours away”.

He still has “a lot of questions about how things will look after”; both for his beloved sport, and the hospitality company he is an ambassador for. “But,” he admits, “I’m ready to break out - when we’re allowed to.”

I have never seen anyone say they actually want king Archie. I do however see people say king Archie the same people say queen Beyoncé

FYI the Sussex squad is calling Archie King Archie just for fun and because we love him he is our little king. We don’t wish death on anybody especially innocents childrens. We know damn well that he will never be King and we clearly don’t care about that. So stop the lies and starting shit for nothing.

I’m just going to say this, y’all:

Beyonce can’t be Queen of anything.  People can call her Queen because, no matter what, it’ll never be legitimate.  She may be music royalty, but there is no circumstance in which she would be a legitimate ruler with legitimate governing power over any body of people.

That is not the case for little Archie.  He is in line for the British throne, which means there exists a set of circumstances in which he could become King Archie I - circumstance that involve the untimely death of at least five people, including three small children (god forbid).  God forbid that were to happen, King Archie would be a reality as a result of horrific circumstances.  

Half of the world’s population could evaporate (think: Endgame) and yet Beyonce would still not be a Queen (in the literal sense) of anything, so that’s why it’s harmless for people to call her Queen Bey (though it is annoying as hell, but that’s a topic for another day).  It’s inappropriate in my opinion to refer to Archie as King Archie because there is an underlying, horrific implication that is legitimately possible that would result in him gaining that title at some point over the course of his life.

It’s not the same and it makes me uncomfortable that people think it is.

“Stop the lies” - I have not said a single lie.  Archie could become King if tragedy were to strike.  The implication of King Archie is that innocent children would suffer.  The word “King” is inappropriate when considering a child who is legitimate royalty.  It’d be harmless with almost any other kid/person in the world, but it is not harmless with Archie (or Charlotte, or Louis, or Mia and Lena Tindall, Savannah and Isla Phillips...)

“We know damn well he will never be king” - well, he could be.  God forbid, but he could be.  And that’s the point you’re missing - the connotation associated with “King Archie” is a set of horrific circumstances that would hurt literally billions of people, many beyond repair.  I can’t even think about it.  I can’t.  I’ll be sick.  But you can’t say “King Archie” with respect to a child who could literally become King without considering the horrific factors that would cause it to happen.  Sorry.  It doesn’t work that way with royalty.  I don’t know if you’re new around here, but royal watching is different than celebrity watching.  This is one of the ways it is very, very different.

I love Archie.  I would die for Archie.  I would legitimately put myself between him and any danger if there was ever the chance.  But I would do the same for George, Charlotte, and Louis... and in my opinion, the way I do that is by squashing the “King Archie” thing.  He’s perfect, he’s adorable, I would die for him without batting an eyelash, but he will not be King.  We’re talking about legitimate royalty here.  Some things are inappropriate.  This is one of them.
