  1. STOP COVERING ROYALTY — they did nothing that’s admirer— down with the crown!

  2. Great story! Great memory!!

  3. President Bush 43 in a speech to the Queen at The White House said that she
    was there for the USA’s bicentennial in 1776 instead of 1976.
    He looked at her sheepishly when he realized his mistake and she said, “Go on dear.”
    Then Bush 43 said, “She just gave me a look that only a mother could give a child.”
    A hilarious moment between the President and the Queen.
    And she got him back at a dinner in her honor.
    The late Queen was simply fun. And not everyone can be regal and fun. She did both with certain aplomb.

  4. The Queen didn't live to age 100 to get her congratulatory letter from herself.

  5. Behold the Living God is always working in miracles even if mankind doesn't see it. Why do you say that where is God? Don't you know that our Creator created you in His own image? (Genesis 1:27) like you He is a Living Being but is our God. You are a proof that there is a Higher being than all of us. Believe in Him as He is not a God of confusion (lies, deception, temptation) but a God of truth. Don't you know why we glorify God? it's because He wants to lead us to the Truth that He is the only true God that loves you and wants you to have Eternal life with Him in Heaven by walking in His ways (John 3:16; Matthew 7:13-14) repent and be born again. Don't be afraid of what's happening in the world for God will never leave you nor forsakes you if you believe in Him. The fall of mankind happens because of the disobedience of Adam and Eve that is why trusting God with your situation even in difficult times helps you to not repeat the same mistake, He knows what is best for you as He is an omnipotent God. Remember that He is the creator of all living things that is why His wisdom and knowledge is immeasurable.

  6. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said in a speech, when the Queen was visiting Canada, that he was the 12th Canadian Prime Minister during her reign. The Queen, "Thank you Prime Minister for making me feel so old" 😂✌️❤️

  7. I remember when Queen Elizabeth II was visiting Washington DC when George Bush was President; An outdoor podium was okay for President Bush to speak but bad for the Queen because of her shorter stature. Nobody could see her.
    Next day, Her Majesty spoke to Congress, "I hope you all can see me". Congress roared with laughter.
    😂✌️❤️

  8. Wow well played, QEII. Never feeling like she had to reveal who she was says so much about her character. Thank you for sharing this story.

  9. oh yes don't we just love to hear about Colonizers and their leaders….

  10. Well i think we can all agree that knowing the hikers side of the story would be hilarious

  11. God rest her soul.
    Bless her . I hope she had good laughs all the way through.
    Remember the happy times

  12. The end is near worship the maker of heaven, earth, and sea keep these 10 commandments, the mark of the beast draws nigh.

    Revelation 14:6 – I saw another angel flying through midheaven, having an everlasting gospel, to declare it to those who dwell on the earth, to every nation, to every kindred, to every tongue, and to every people .
    Revelation 14:7 He said with a loud voice, Fear God and give him glory, for the hour of his judgment is come; and worship him who made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and springs of water.

    THE SABBATH IS THE SIGN OF THE CREATOR worship any other day other than the Sabbath is back to worshiping the enemy, the day of rest is the Sabbath, not Sunday.

    Ezekiel 20:12 – I also gave them my sabbaths as a sign between me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

  13. What a hilarious sense of humor 😂

  14. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine warmthhh.Online Brünette und eine anderey Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  15. Bet that bodyguard has seen some corrupt and disgusting acts.

  16. “I Really Don't Care, Do U?”

  17. A woman who oversaw and approved the brutal killing and torture and oppressions of millions of people aroudn the world is being celebrated. Woke media at its best!! shame on everyone who is praising this woman.

  18. .Islam is a religion that calls for the worship of God alone, who has no partner, and that Muhammad is the last of the messengers. The Qur’an is the last book of God. It is one copy that has not been distorted. Scientists prove scientifically things that were discovered only in recent years, such as the stages of the formation of the fetus and many other facts that God has mentioned in the Qur’an to prove the authenticity of the Qur’an. That is, from God, and to establish an argument against the people and upon those who heard of this, God is the one who created you and He is the one who will send you after the grave to the reckoning. Have you not wondered one day who holds the heavens and the earth to pass away, and who provides for you and who created you from dust, and where you are when you sleep and this is an example of the grave And sleeping after it is an example of the resurrection of the resurrection

  19. ❤️The Queen the expression on her face in a photo with trump spoke volumes.🤣

  20. She was a Tyrant from a long line of thieves, cartels and criminals. It's a good thing the British empire no longer exists and Britain is now an irrelevant speck on the map.
