I'm not sure if most people here are really aware, but in the recent week or so, there's been a massive debate over the British Queen's passing and her family's relation to the purported crimes and misdeeds of the British monarchy in relation to the British Empire and its subjugation of peoples in Asia and Africa. On social media especially, the debate has been extremely intense. For example, there was even a professor from an American college who stated that she wished Elizabeth would die an excruciating death hours before her passing because of what she seemingly represented, and what her country did to others.

I'm just wondering what most people here honestly thought about this whole thing.
I respect the British people and culture, but I've never been interested in the British monarchy particularly, and didn't much understand the entire media obsession over the Royal Family, beautiful and energetic Kate might have admittedly been. Personally, I didn't really "love" Queen Elizabeth, nor did I necessarily hate her, she just seemed like an old British woman with a hat who made public appearances once in a while. I do hope she rests in peace, and I offer my full condolences to the British people on this forum if they are upset or yet in mourning, but sadly, on the other hand, peace is something this world has lacked for a long while now.
