She'll get a bit smelly in a few days, and propping her up at official events may prove awkward, especially getting her to do the royal wave. So maybe best not.

I think she could pull it off.

I think you are right :wink:

I'm more of a French Revolution type myself.

I collect coins and have a King Charles II silver coin from the 1600s.

I have nothing against him but couldn't we have a transition period so that we can keep Elizabeth II for a while? Not that I support monarchy but losing such a familiar grandma figure is actually very sad.

They can't. It's illegal. There used to be situations in history where the king/queen hadn't named a successor, so the rival claimants went to war over it. Which of course put the kingdom at great risk of invasion, civil war etc.

The famous example of 1066 when the French invaded England because they thought they had the true heir to the throne, comes to mind.

So I think at some point in history, it was decided that the heir to the throne and the succession would be set in stone long before the monarch died, to prevent wars, invasions etc.

Therefore the moment Queen Elizabeth died, Prince Charles instantly became King Charles.

Sounds like Charles could give Macbeth a run for his money.

The thing I like about King Charles III is that he is an environmentalist, interested in green issues, and he has been for many, many years. Hopefully he can use his influence to encourage people to move away from fossil fuels etc. and towards renewable energy. He could make this a big deal without getting involved in politics.

That’s what I always liked about him.

Long live the King!

Yes! (A little early as he will need some time to grieve as he will really miss his mother, but certainly may God bless him and may he be happy!)

Yes indeed, sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory worthy of Alex Jones. Someone else summed it up nicely with the tongue in cheek comment that he also killed Jesus, the Easter Bunny and Elvis. :lol:

Don’t forget the Queen was suppose to be a Lizard.
There will be no basking or catching flies till she is laid to rest, out of respect.
