God Save Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth! Long may she reign.

Edited by arunsakda

It's past the time Charlie should be king. Arrogant old woman

Do you take the same stance on other Royals.

Or do you hold your tongue in fear ?

Just a comment:

The British people don't have draconian laws on what you can and can't say about the British Royal Family. So you can legally say what you want without fear of being arrested or put in prison.

Edited to note that this has already been covered. !

But Thailand does and the lese majeste law covers foreign heads of state as well - so Queen Elizabeth is covered.

Wikipedia

The third group is insult against the head of state of foreign countries or lèse-majesté. Insulting or threatening the king, queen, consort, heir-apparent, or the head of state of foreign countries (Section 133), which is an offence against friendly relations with foreign states, is punishable by one to seven years imprisonment or a fine of 2,000-140,000 baht, or both. The penalty for defaming, insulting or threatening the Thai monarch, the queen, heir-apparent, or regent (Section 112) is imprisonment for three to 15 years. Insulting or defaming a representative of a foreign state accredited to the royal court has the penalty of imprisonment for a term of six months to 15 years or a fine of 1,000-10,000 baht, or both.

The lèse majesté law also covers foreign heads of state but is not enforced. Private Eye Magazine is sold in Thailand and it makes fun of every members of the British royal family:

freedom of expression is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately some citizens will never know real freedom of speech.

Yes I can agree there, but slating some thing that does not concern you to bait people from that country is not on. We can all slate other countries so let's not get started down that road.
As for the British Monarchy, it's older than some countries on this planet. So let's show a little respect. Especially if you are not even British
