    The lady who said she felt like she was part of the royal family really exemplifies the delusions that a lot of the older generations of people from African and Afro-Caribbean descent hold, in respect of their views about the British Monarchy. Older generations who grew up with less access to information to educate themselves about the truths behind colonialism and British imperialism seem to exhibit an undue reverence to the British monarchy. I suspect that this is due to some sort of collective 'Stockholm Syndrome' where these subjugated societies develop warped attitudes towards those who have oppressed them. As a modern example, just look at how the current Royal Family treated Megan Markle, a women of mixed African-American heritage ancestry, and her children with such contempt, based on their heritage. People of African and Afro-Caribbean descent (perhaps others too) should understand that the British monarchy has, and forever will, view such people as being racially inferior, which was the whole premise that the institution of slavery was justified upon, and these types of social engagements with peoples of the old British Empire are nothing but facades designed to mislead these peoples into believing that they are somehow a part of this Royal Family. This is perhaps why the British monarchy always describes such activities as being part of their 'Royal duties', i.e. something that has to be done, irrespective of whether they are actually sincere in their words and actions.

      It's interesting to me the British War of 1812 on the American colonies, with creation of District of Columbia under the same obelisk as found in London, Rome and Cairo, has been neglected in American history, like Lincoln's brutal imposition of a supra-governmental 'Federal Authority' (and income tax) on the Free Republic of States, is also glossed over as the 'war to end slavery' hogwash narrative. Lincoln made _everyone_ a slave to WADC.
      Then an ensuing economic collapse under Carpet Baggers and Robber Batons, never spoken of, the forced draft of Americans into the British side in their Royal hegemony WW1, then imposition at midnight of the private Fed Banks of London on our financial sector, then a _second_ American draft onto the British side in WW2, has all been completely obfuscated by Western historians.
      We should have fought on the side of the French _against_ the British (Austro-Hungarian) Crown. Nixon should have unbound the US dollar from Crown gold and freed America from those Fed Banks of London. American history is a child's fable.

    Honestly, if people would read their history books the queen was pivotal on the transition colonies becoming independent.

Demanding reparation is not going to solve problems with economies. If Singapore who is one of the richest nations and a former British colony could get their stuff together then any other country with common law could.

    There are problems with the portrait that is being painted; Elizabeth Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was not merely some symbolic figurehead and her empire is not exactly dead. As Confucius said, "Signs and symbols rule the world." The British Empire did not die so much as it morphed into the Anglo-American establishment. Don't take my word for it; go read Professor Carroll Quigley.

    About Malaysia, need to make corrections there. The British were fighting the Communist insurgency in Malaya, together with the inhabitants of Malaya, not fighting the independence movement. British tried to colonize the whole Malaya in 1946 under Malayan Union (before this all the Malay States were British Protectorate) but they failed to do so because the Malays as the majority race in civil service there, boycott all the functions and meetings related to British rules. A peaceful action against British colonization and as replacement, the Empire created The Federation of Malaya, instead. Malaya became the British Protectorate same as before, gaining independence on 1957.

You know what, the past is gone forever & forgiveness is paramount, no point dwelling on the past bringing pain & sorrow forward so people share misery, people are not cattle that need controlling, they just need the opportunity to control their lives & we will all live better & more healthily knowing that with trust we will live in harmony & love & this is what is gonna happen before these freak mental monsters destroy this planet which is hanging in there waiting for us to wake up & do something before Earth has to do something to us to save itself.
