Reports saying she is under medical supervision and senior royals are going to Balmoral, We all know what that means...

I try not to care about royalty that doesn't affect me, but my word, she is very difficult to hate. If she passes I hope it's peaceful.
How do you all feel about King Charles?

He was a bit power mad and let all the royalty go to his head.
Until they cut it off.

Unknown.
All the old fuddyduddy traditionalist royal experts think he will.. but I think in this day and age, the public would largely think it quite stupid.

Harry is on his way to Balmoral too.
There aren't many people who have a memory of when she wasn't queen. It's the only thing that most people have ever known. Her passing will truly be the end of an era (a second Elizabethan Age?).

Her first Prime Minister was Winston fucking Churchill. That's so bonkers to me.
My word, I never knew there was already a King Charles in England. I know about the Richards and the Henrys and a George or two.
I also don't think Charles will change. He's been Charles for over 70 years. Also, do you abolish the monarchy as soon as he takes the crown or do you wait a bit out of respect?

She looked well enough greeting Truss. Did Boris or Truss infect her?

A shock. I really thought she looked well enough standing and smiling two days ago.

All change for new King’s coins, stamps and postboxes as Queen Elizabeth II dies .
If you changed the ‘E’ to ‘C’ and ‘VIII’ to ‘III’, I imagine that’s what you’ll end up with.

I wonder what they'll do with the old post boxes. Would they auction them off or recycle the parts?

Unlikely, we still have a Queen Victoria postbox where I live - marked "VR"

I thought the same, she looked OK apart from holding a walking stick
