The Queen’s Final Ride To Buckingham Palace Has Everyone Making An Eerie Comparison

Yep. According to Twitter, at least, watching Queen Elizabeth’s hearse via helicopter footage is giving OJ Simpson running from the police vibes. 

“Honestly they’ve got a chopper chasing the hearse with the Queen in it like she is OJ Simpson in a white Bronco,” tweeted one person. “OJ’s Bronco coverage of the queen’s coffin is just weird, who thinks that’s a good idea,” wrote another. “This live coverage of the Queen’s coffin journey is this generation’s OJ Simpson car chase,” read another tweet. Another person joked, “Thought I was watching a rerun of the OJ Low Speed cop chase but it was the queen being driven to the palace from Scotland.”

Obviously, the queen’s body had to make it from Balmoral Castle in Scotland where she died to London where she’ll be buried somehow. We just didn’t expect to be watching the actual journey itself on live television, as if the queen were a runaway fugitive in the early ’90s. In fact, The Firm may be regretting letting the public know exactly where Queen Elizabeth’s coffin is on her final road trip, as it has now issued guidance dissuading members of the public from camping along the highway to catch a glimpse of the hearse as it passes, per CNN.
