She was a jewel. A perfect example of royalty.

I think she was amazing. The discipline and intelligence she had to be in that position since age 25. As far as I ever heard, she never was anything less than totally a leader. Never gave an interview and worked and kept up her duties until the day she died.
I'm not sure many people could ever do what she did.

My favorite Queen Elizabeth II moment in history was her trip to Ghana shortly after their independence. I won't bore you with the details, but that trip was a very important one and required much fortitude. God Bless the Queen.
Maybe, the body language and facial expression don’t appear like the reason imo.
Shrug.
I haven't paid attention, but because Britain is steeped in bizarre tradition so deep that you need an ice drill to get through it, the Royal family was trained to supress emotional expression in public. I'd go more on the body-language. It's a bit different for those brothers because of their mother. The whole country wept when she passed.
Don't look to closely though. Wouldn't want Eagler to get grumpy again. He was 16th in line for the throne, but after this outburst...

I thought some might like to see the opening minutes of this, the expression of hundreds of years of tradition. The opening choir are singing Psalm 139 and the pall-bearers are the Queen's guard.
