Re: Downunder republicanism
Yes, and it's Queen Elizabeth II
You only pass through this life once, you don't come back for an encore.
Re: Downunder republicanism
She's really Elizabeth I if we aren't counting from the British perspective. We needn't adopt the British world view. In fact I think there's a legal obligation in NZ where schools must also teach the Maori view of our history. That would make our history much more interesting for students than when I was at school.

Yes, but our countries are counting from the perspective of Great Britain. There are no ifs, ands or buts.GT93 wrote: ↑June 5, 2022, 10:36 amShe's really Elizabeth I if we aren't counting from the British perspective. We needn't adopt the British world view.

She is Elizabeth Ii from that line of Monarchs. You cannot chop and change just because countries effected slip inand out of the Empire.GT93 wrote: ↑June 5, 2022, 10:36 amShe's really Elizabeth I if we aren't counting from the British perspective.

Remember James the 1st was James the 5th of Scotland, but rightfully crowned James 1 for the British monarchy
I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani
