Just waiting on the usual suspects to come in and crap on her memory...(and oh look, there's one already)
But here's some items that I find admirable about her:
During WWII, she joined the army as soon as she turned 18 (as many royals did). But instead of a cushy PR/morale booster job, she trained to be a truck mechanic.
This quote from 1991: "Lesser mortals are pitied for their misfortune in not being born Texans."
She's the only British monarch ever to sing in public. The song she sang? The Star Spangled Banner. She also led a recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance.

Monarchy should be despised by everyone............she was a figurehead and nothing more.
As I stated..........there is a reason why we as Americans separated from Great Brittain.........get bent if you don't agree...........and go back to a country lead by a monarch.

Most of us were also taught not to speak ill of the dead. I have no loyalty to any monarch. I simply found this particular one to be more worthwhile...as someone else's head of state.

Dude. Can you show us on the doll where the bad monarchy that has no power here touched you?
I remember something from a long time ago................
Fee.......Fi.......Fo.......Fum........I smell the blood of an Englishman. Be he/she alive or be he/she dead.............I will grind his/her bones to make my bread. (gender duality ((not fluidity)) added for YOU types that recognize that)
How soon we all forget why we are AMERICANS and not a British colony.

May she rest in peace.

Cripes, man. Nobody here thinks they're British. You're projecting a hell of a lot - maybe you should work out your anger issues in private.
Here's a tip: Being an American does not mean we're required to hate every other nation's head of state or monarch. We get it, you hate the old lady who said nice things about Texas and the US while she was monarch of one of our major allies. Whatever. Nobody's impressed with that but you.

She was great in the Naked Gun movie

I doubt if Charles can. His best bet would be to "rule" for a year or two, then abdicate to William. The kid at least has the charisma for the job and a good public image.
I thought Charles was disqualified by his divorce?
He might be the first king who is better known for his ex-wife.
“King who?”
“Di’s ex.”
