I was awakened by the distressing news that Her Majesty had died. She is the only monarch I have ever known. My first memory of any world event was the day she became Queen 70 years ago.
I 'swore allegiance' to her when I was about 10, and then on 18 October 2007, I went before a Commissioner of Oaths in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada and swore the official Oath of Allegiance: I, Jovan Weismiller, do solemnly swear that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second, Queen of Canada, Her Heirs and Successors according to law, forever. So help me God.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
