Certainly not a castle of sieges, this would not be a prized medieval fortress from which to rule. The entire structure resembles that of a fancy robber baron mansion we find here in the States. Nice looking place, though. I wouldn't call it a castle, however.

not all castles were made for siege,some were resorts vacays or even inns for nobles visiting the land on the way to somewhere. And the memes are already poping in brazil with a picture of charles frowned with the caption, "imagine knowing you will start to work at age of 73"
God save the Queen. She maintained her high standards for 70 years, a remarkable run.
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!
As a young man I never cared for them really. Apart from Diana. The older I got the more respect I got for them, apart from Andrew.
Charles in my opinion will be a stop gap King. William will take over in a decade or so.
No-one will top Elizabeth. I heard a story that's it's been calculated she has technically met over a third of the country with her tours etc. Classy lady, I hope she is with Phillip in peace.
It seems that she went relatively quickly at the end & in a place that she loved, surrounded by most of her family - there are worse ways to bow out.
p.s. actually Charles is quite liked/respected by a fair chunk of the population but as monarch he will be held to a different, stricter set of rules with less freedom of personal expression.
to the british left on shq do you think charles reign could be the end of monarchy in uk ? no one gives a #%&*$# about him, guy life is not very liked, could this push them to finally get rid of if ? i will say for myself.....have a king doesnt have the same ring as having a ruler queen for so long,almost sound diminutive now. also if the kings die all we get now are consorts ?
No, he won't see the end of the Monarchy in the UK. It might accelerate some commonwealth countries choosing a new, internal, head of state though.
When I joined the military all those years ago I swore an allegiance to the Queen. When I joined the police I did the same. Sat here quite emotional, which is odd as I never met her and normally fairly blase about such things. RIP Boss.

Get you totally. You've given service to her. As a 20 year copper I respect your service. She would too.
