It will be interesting to see how Charles steps up as King to rule the country. Iā€™m thinking of you. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Iā€™m Canadian, so not as much of an impact on me. Over here the majority loved the Queen, she was a class act, but Charlesā€¦ we donā€™t have the same respect for him.

I think everyone just wishes the crown would skip from Queen Elizabeth to Prince William XD

I grew up watching Betty White in so many different television shows. She was an extremely talented woman who had a wicked sense of humor yet had a very tender heart. She in her own way influenced several generations of women, providing a model for living as an intelligent, tough, kindhearted soul.

I read that too and it would definitely make sense and likely the population would agree as wellā€¦ but royal procedure states otherwise although Prince Charles is also old now itā€™s certainly strange that heā€™d be king in name and would handle at this old age now the affairs which the Queen started doing at younger age. - Itā€™s really a pity. He could always abdicate to William I would thinkā€¦

I actually donā€™t think so, a few years ago this might have been the case. Another reason for Charles to be king now is he might not want for his grandchildren what he and even the Queen went through being the heir to the crown from a very young age on.

Oh sad, but she lived long. I only knew about her after watching the movie ā€œThe Coal Minerā€™s Daughterā€ with Sissy Spacekā€¦ I believe it was based on her story how she became a singer.
RIP You can sing now with angels :angel:

RIP to Loretta Lynn. So very talented singer-songwriter, and a true country music legend. I remember seeing ā€œCoal Minerā€™s Daughterā€ in the movie theater and also remember her guest appearance on ā€œThe Muppet Show.ā€ As a child, I thought Loretta being surrounded by all those muppet babies was so funny, but now that Iā€™m an adult, her song ā€œOneā€™s on the Wayā€ hits different. She had 4 children in 4 years, and then twins later on, for a total of 6 children, so she knew what she was talking about when she wrote that song. I also remember her triumphant comeback in 2003/2004 with her ā€œVan Lear Roseā€ album. She gained a new generation of fans. RIP, Loretta. Your music will always live on. My condolences to her family, her friends and her fans.

I still watch her re-run shows [Murder She Wrote] on one of my regular channel. The old time series were so much better than these junks we have now on regular channels. I also watch Columbo/Magnum PI/Jennie (in the bottle)/Bewitched. I wish those quality programs could come back.

I didnā€™t know she was already 96 years old. May she REST IN PEACE.

She made [The Beauty and The Beast] so joyful to watch. Her singing and her tea kettle role was so endearing. You made me cry when I saw this bc I completely forgot about this role.
