    The 95-year-old monarch expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the next week.

    DUTIES!? what duties? do these motherfuckers really think a monarch has duties?

      She technically rubber stamps most of the stuff parliament does and could therefore veto it. But she never does because it would be a sign that the monarchy is taking back democratic power

          Every commonwealth country, but it's her Governors General that actually do the signing (Royal Assent) on her behalf. Local govt chooses who she will appoint though, and the GGs are (more than HM even) usually just a ceremonial thing and have never actually mattered much except for one time in the 70s when the GG just straight up removed Australia's Prime Minister (for the CIA, allegedly).

          She also chooses some of the senior leadership of the Church of England because she's the head of that too, but really that's also a UK PM choice, but really since 2007 the church just chooses it.

    LONDON — The British government confirmed Saturday that people with COVID-19 won’t be legally required to self-isolate starting next week, as part of a plan for “living with COVID” that is also likely to see testing for the coronavirus scaled back.

    Prime Minister Boris Johnson said ending all of the legal restrictions brought in to curb the spread of the virus will let people in the U.K. “protect ourselves without restricting our freedoms.”

    BoJo’s crown achievement will be killing the queen, lmao

          "How did this American communist end up in charge of an institution he despises?"

          I plop down awkwardly into a low-budget throne and have Prince Blimblam kneel down to be my footstool

          "Is he ready to rule?"

          I confidently hang up a phone. A British submarine rises from the sea and fires a missile towards Washington DC. We see the POTUS blaming Russia and then getting turned into a skeleton.

          "Is he ready to learn?"

          I open the Royal family album and it's all pictures of pedophilic crimes

          "Is he ready to love?"

          I'm on a date with an Engl*shwoman. It's going great. I lean into kiss her. She says something terfy. I snap my fingers and a guard in a funny hat bayonets her. We cut to a new date where you only see me. I'm laughing and tucking my hair behind my ear. The camera pans: my date is Xi Jinping.

    Hate to piss in people's cornflakes but unlike the countless thousands of old folks our govt sacraficed to keep the NHS they'd previously gutted from being overwhelmed, she's very likely going to survive. She's vaccinated and has access to the best healthcare in the country.

        In video footage released of the 95-year-old monarch receiving two senior Royal Navy officers at her Windsor Castle residence, she could be heard remarking "as you can see, I can't move" as she stood while holding a walking stick.

        Buckingham Palace declined to comment, but it is understood she was feeling slightly stiff rather than having injured herself or being unwell.

        I don't know, being unable to move sounds pretty unwell to me.
