The National Rugby League has banned Newcastle women’s player Caitlin Moran after she took to social media to refer to Queen Elizabeth as a ‘dumb dog’ while celebrating her death.
Last week, Buckingham Palace announced the tragic death of Queen Elizabeth II, confirming she died peacefully at Balmoral Castle. She passed away aged 96, ending the longest reign by any monarch in British history.
The Queen remained a symbol of stability amid a turbulent era in British history, overseeing the decline of the empire as well as the public and incredibly embarrassing dysfunction within her own family. She died having served 70 years on the throne.
