That was truly inspired. Especially the last line, although she never
struck me as the "impatient" type.

Well, it has been over a year since she last saw Phillip.

The article is inconsiderate. And very misspelled.

Is that authentic? Or did the site get hacked?

Even though a subject of mucky-muck, I found it humourous despite the
disappointment of the possibility of clouds with Windows and not
understanding the reason for impatience. Would St. Peter take long to
consider the entrance qualifications of the nominal head of a crumbled
murderous empire?

God is not a respecter of persons, but the questions would deal with her
own actions during her life, not the distant past history of the British
Empire. Churchill might have some things to answer for in Bengal, but I
can't think of any misdeeds of that nature on the part of Her late Majesty
Elizabeth the Second.

I've seen a lot of people laying the faults of the British Government and late
Empire on her.

But she had very little agency in the public sphere, even from the start being a
figurehead, doing what she was required to do.

She never went to a nightclub or on a pub crawl, explored a new town on foot,
browsed a used bookstore, or went to the movies alone, or (I think) read a dirty book.
Anywhere she went, she was the center of attention, followed by paparazzi and 'royal
correspondents'. Only in her palaces did she have even a hint of privacy.

Hers was a very constrained and abnormal life. Even given her wealth, I'm not sure
I'd trade places with her (or with Charles III, same problem).

With that, about the only thing St. Peter has to work with were her relationships
with her family members, which weren't always good.

Hmm... an odd type of monastic life? A few more benefits than most.
