The BBC has suspended programming until 6PM local time and all the presenters have changed into black suits and ties.

 

Queen's family are all En Route or re at Balmoral Castle in Scotland

 

Does not look good.

I mean, she's what, 96? She can't rule forever..

Yeah people are talking like she's got years left in her, I think she's had a good run at 96 years old and 70 years of rule..

I just learned that Charles can change his name to what ever he wants. He can now be called King George or whatever. I wonder if Charles will keep the name or change it.

 

From BBC

 

"King George VI’s real name was actually Albert. Two previous monarchs have been called Charles." 

 

So he would be King Charles III if he keeps his name?

RIP your majesty. This image has choked me up. I am no royalist, to be honest I always thought I couldn't care less about the royal family, but I have shed a tear or two tonight. My heart really goes out to her family who couldn't make it there to be with her, it sounds like she deteriorated pretty quickly.

RIP to Her Majesty.

 

Longest reigning monarch in British history, last surviving head-of-state to serve in WW2, loved by her people and millions around the world.

This would seem like a good time to just end the whole monarchy nonsense and keep the fantasies to books and TV like the Game of Thrones. No one is fighting or starting a war over the crown, King Charles III didn't like go and marry his sister or a princess from France. Boring!

I live in England and have only ever know there to be 'The Queen'. To now be in the reign of King Charles III is really quite weird.

 

I'm not a Royalist, but I can't really fault 'Lizzie' and her years of dedication to the UK.

Yeah i think now is the perfect time to dismantle it and move on. Use tax payer money on stuff that matters.

Please remain respectful, you can open a new discussion on if the Royal Family still has a place in the UK if you want, but please don't hijack this thread with nonsense like "now she's gone let's dismantle it".
