I find the many servile and naive responses here really quite pathetic. The man was evil both personally and as part of the structure of the monarchy. I understand that many simply don't know about his history, either as outsiders with a strange fascination with royalty but only at a superficial level (as many Americans confusingly are), or as part of a learned and willful ignorance required to be modern monarchist.
Jimmy Saville was a good friend of his, just as one in a myriad of examples. At least two of his sons have a reputation as of the same inclinations as Saville. This only scratches the surface.
While I hesitated to say this, as gloating over the death of even an enemy I find rather unbecoming and crude, but lets not make any mistake such people and institutions deserve no sympathy, as they have presided over horrors that would boggle the mind.
On the topic of monarchy, I'm mostly with Diderot that mankind will not be free till the last king is hung with the guts of the last priest...
