[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Queen was literally paid millions a year to represent the UK and quite literally wore jewels stolen from colonies in her crown. She did not apologize for any of these evils. Of course we should judge her legacy based on the British empire. There is no comparison to the average person. [/quote]

Correct. [b] Her country[/b] stole so many jewels and other resources from other countries and [b]the royal family has[/b] many.  Others sit in their museums.  They should all [b]be given[/b] back.  This is not ancient history.  India only got its independence in 1947. [/quote]

I do not disagree with anything you wrote.  But it still doesn't answer the question of how accountable we should hold the late queen.

Did she personally steal or authorizing the stealing of those things?  Could she have prevented it?
Did she have the ability to return any of the things the royal family "owned"?  (Sincere question on this one.  If she personally could have decided to return jewels or other artifacts/treasures to the countries they came from, she should have done it.  I'm just not sure she could)
They SHOULD all be given back.  Who has the authority to do that?  Did the queen?[/quote]
