* she is completely safe from prosecution. Royals are spared from freedom of information,
They aren't required to share any information.

It is a crime to insult the Queen. Less Majeste. A woman was once put in legal hit soup for referring to Elizabeth Regina as Mrs. So, insulters beware.

God bless the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth has been busy especially during the world war.

She served her country like every young girl at that time.

Had it been it was in Africa, she wouldn't have been allowed to drive a truck but in her case she went out and help when it matters most.

Leadership like hers was learned by experience.

So she is also the Queen of Australia and Canada?? That means Australia and Canada are still under British rule

They are but just in name. In actual practice the UK and the queen have no authority over what happens in Canada or Australia nor do they try to interfere in the running of those countries. Australia and Canada pay no tax or royalties to the UK either.

Despite all these powers, I have never seen anybody lye down to greet her.

Africans should stop that daft attitude of lying down to greet kings in the name of culture.

No human is God.
You want to throw away your culture because of another man's own. See the effect of neo-colonianism, if you know how much these caucasians pay to visit other African nations just to observe their untainted cultural displays.
Even the Chinese in their civilization have still kept their own culture, you want to throw yours away ...
Shame on you.

This is a true royal system, not the nonsense Nollywood shows us in their crappy movies. Can't even tell if it's fantasy or opera play.

Anyways fellow people let's be factual,business environment is shrinking so also will services..

When value of something goes down what happens? People sell.. That's why there are so many trainings on social media marketing.. Google is gulping avenues that made this area once enticing rendering once valued areas worthless..

So it's to position yourself now for the next wave of tools... Which is why I want to introduce you to Bulk whatsapp Tool, it's a DIY form of marketing that cuts out all the sophistication for newbies and small time operators

Get it now and beat other marketers to the market.... Working smart and effectively is always the keyword

Don't just copy Wikipedia blindly, she is referred to as the Queen of England foremost and the heir apparent is referred to as the Prince of Wales.

Wrong my friend! She is not referred to as the Queen of England foremost. England hasn't had a separate monarch since the 1600s

Another thread should be created for the procedures that take place at the death of the Queen.

On the other hand, is Church of England not the same as Anglican Church/Communion which we have here?

Shame on you.

It is worthy to note that your culture of over respecting criminal elders have kept your continent more backward than any other continent in the world.

It is on record how some of the kings you lye down to greet openly collected bribery run up to 2019 general elections without shame.

Keep on worshipping criminals in the name of culture. Animal
