You understand that Elizabeth presided over the intentional destruction of the Scottish economy as carried out by Thatcher? The war crimes brought about by the occupation of Northern Ireland, the Falklands war, and more minor bullshit than I have time to name off. So no, she wasn't a cool lady.

There are no cool monarchs and there is no justification for their existence in the 21st century.

Wait you think the British were the bad guys in the Falklands war?

You know the people in the Falklands overwhelmingly want to be British right?

Besides you're missing his point. Liz lived through WW2. She lived through everything you just named and a dozen more hard times. People were born, lived lives and had/raised kids who had her as their queen the entire time.

And she was good at presenting herself calmly and with intelligent authority.

Charles comes across a doddering silver spoon weirdo. He has no presence, no charisma, doesn't have the emotional connection to the country that Liz had and seems remarkably less with it. At least he doesn't know how to act like he knows what's going on.

Liz 2 made millions of people love the Monarchy
The Monarchy is trying desperately clawing to make people love Charles

That's the difference.

There is no one in the country (hyperbole, I'm sure there's a dozen weirdos) who looks to Charles for hope and a role model in tough times. Even amongst hardcore royalists who love the Monarchy as a concept. There were 2 whole generations who did so frequently for Liz 2.

Fuck sake even Vladimir Putin was like "Shit Liz 2? She was cool mang..." when she passed. And Russia hates the UK more than any other country on Earth right now. That's the respect she commanded.
