    Probably much easier to reign when you have little power to affect the lives of your subjects.
    Figurehead:

    In politics, a figurehead is a person who de jure (in name or by law) appears to hold an important and often supremely powerful title or office, yet de facto (in reality) exercises little to no actual power. This usually means that they are head of state, but not head of government.

    So they say. It wouldn’t be the first time the state lied about something.

    Trying to think of how my life has been affected by QE2... nope, not coming up with anything other than having to see her offspring on the covers of tabloids while waiting in line at the supermarket or Walmart.

    I consider myself indifferent. Sad an apparently decent human died, but it has no impact on my life. :dunno:
    Kinda the point I was making, but seeing all the "good riddance" type posts made me wonder. The Brits seemed to like her. She was a well known figure and apparently served honorably in WWII. She was just a few years younger than my own mom. I dunno. I think it would have been interesting to talk to her and hear her stories.
