Her Majesty does enjoy a nice island vacation, does she not?

Level 87

Jul 22, 2018

Yes, a lot to tourist spots globally. Maybe those visits show her political priorities in the ex-British empire - little regard for India and the sub-continent, and in Africa. Might be too much unwashed, unclean riff-raff in those places for Her Majesty to tolerate, eh what. But lots of visits to Anglo and European countries. Surprising to see Canada at no 1.

+35

Level 84

Sep 9, 2022

Well, the political priorities are unsurprisingly countries that have the UK monarch as head of state - which Canada, New Zealand, Australia, the Bahamas and Jamaica still do, and Barbados did until 2021. Queen Elizabeth II was never head of state of India.

Level 68

Sep 17, 2022

Yeah, really want to see her prioritize Burkina Faso over Ukraine. Totally pragmatic use of time.

Level 79

To go to a country, you need to be invited first!

Clearly, she favored ex-colonies of the UK (obviously). But some of those ex-colonies probably weren't that keen on hosting her (Ireland, India...), which is why she stayed away.

Level 75

Jul 15, 2018

Considering her age and the number of countries the royals visit on their trips, I would have expected a greater number of visits for each.

Level 71

Oct 13, 2018

Interesting that she hasn't gone to Greece to visit Philip's relatives or to Germany to visit hers. She has gone mainly to warm weather countries except Canada (because we largely pay for her junkets). But not to Africa?

As Queen she was in Africa before she was anywhere else.

Which made me think of trying Kenya.

Level 79

Sep 9, 2022

She would never be welcome in Greece after what her relatives did to the country. Where to even begin?! Firstly, her hubby's dad was one of the main people responsible for the expulsion of one million Greeks from Asia Minor when he wanted to play "British Empire" and together with the monarchist government were crushed in the greco-turkish war. He was never tried for his crimes.

The rest of the family ended up contributing to a civil war, a military junta which plagued the country for 7 years (1967-1974) and the turkish invasion of Cyprus for which the British were extremely culpable.

Not to mention, Lizzy is largely viewed as the perpetrator of Diana's murder and she had been revered in Greece.

Why wouldn't she, you are her subjects. Most of the world views Canada as something between a British colony and a U.S puppet state anyway. Well, except Quebec, of course.

Level 45

Feb 7, 2024

Mostly just some poor country people getting saucy over the fact that a supposed "puppet" country is ten times better off than the shite holes they're living right now. (Speaking from personal experience)

Or some reactionary nationalists getting high on sovereignty stuffs. (again, personal experience)

Level 71

Oct 14, 2018

I get that these are commonwealth countries, but it still seems weird that the queen has prioritized these countries over nations of high political significance like China or Germany

+12

Level 91

Feb 22, 2020

It's not weird that she has been many times to countries she officially is Queen of (or was in two cases on the list - one of which she lived in for a year). The other 4 in this quiz are, a large commonwealth country that's en-route to Oceania and her frequently-visited realms there (you're going to have to stop en-route, so why not there?), one of the closest Commonwealth countries to the UK with links to her husband, the global superpower that often needs a bit of charm for the UK to get something off them, and a close ally that is also place where her husband grew up. The non-Commonwealth two also have horse racing, and I guess while you have the Queen visiting for her hobby you might want to have her to your presidential palace for dinner as an official sign of friendship between two nations - helping boost their numbers.

Level 80

Visits related to political relations are more relevant to the current PM, not so much the royal family, who would be more focused on the commonwealth.

What value is there in deleting threads? Surely this is a community of adults

Level 79

If you're getting weepy about the fairy princess who rules your kingdom kicking the bucket in their 90s, even reacting angrily when you spot someone else not with bowed head in awed reverence - pointing out what this person actually was, your adulthood is in question.

Nope, I merely posted out my preference of constitutional monarchy as a method of governance. It less 'parasitic' that most presidential systems.

I didn't mean you specifically. I assume some threads were deleted where people said other things. Even though you are wrong. A thread wouldn't be deleted for that alone.

The list actually makes perfect sense - and it makes equal sense that a list of countries visited most often by UK prime ministers would look very different.

She was head of state of eight of the countries on this list (Malta until 1974, Barbados until last year). The other countries on the list are: Britain's closest ally, the United States, and Britain's two strongest European allies, Germany (where large numbers of British troops have been stationed since 1945) and France.

Official visits by a head of state are incredibly expensive for both the host and guest countries and are typically arranged years in advance. It meant that although she travelled more than most heads of state, she was unlikely to visit most countries the six times required to make this list.

The Battenberg Hohenstaufen Saxe-Coburg and Gotha gravy train just keeps on rolling!

As a nation, we were epitomised by a greedy, entitled old white woman, who loved nothing more than killing animals for fun and secretly supporting the nazis.

These days, Schrodingers Monarch claims to have no power, merely a ceremonial role, whilst simultaneously embodying the irreplaceable core of our constitution.
