The Queen is dead. Long live the king. God bless Queen Elizabeth. I wonder what regnal name Charles will choose. I’d choose George VII to honor the history of that great name. I look forward to seeing Charles’ coronation. The coronation of the British monarch is one of the most beautiful ceremonies in the world with deep meaning if you’re a Christian, especially Anglican. Fuck the monarchy haters on this board. The British love the institution. It is one of the few institutions remaining imbued with history, faith, beauty and mystery. The people’s love their monarch as the embodiment of their nation is beautiful and something that people who live in republics miss out on. 

Three thousand years of beautiful tradition, from Moses to Sandy Koufax…

RIP your majesty. I knew when the Times was doing live updates this morning it was not good.

Liz just referred to him as Charles III in her speech

He should have gone with George VII.

Well….this is gonna be a weird week. Currently on the trial from London to Glasgow. No reaction from passengers, my wife got the news first and passed it down the line to us (we’d spread out to nap).
There’s a whole super-ritualized mourning process, right? @GOLL will be able to tell us. Will see how the Scots address things; she died just up the road.
We’ll be back in London for a day next week, will see what’s up there then, too.
She was a tough old gal, and a huge piece of history in her own right. And I say that as someone who hates royals and thinks they should all be beheaded.

Nice cover story. We all know you killed her. I hope you’re proud of yourself sir.

Man. Reviving the name of 2 of the biggest regal failures in the English monarchical history.  You do you, Chuck.

Would have been cooler if he choose Aegon III.

He's Charles III until he decides otherwise.  He may still change the name at his coronation.

So is there anyone that assumes the duties of the monarch until charles’ coronation/ascension?

I think a Duke (of Norfolk?) takes on some sort of ministerial role, at least until tomorrow morning when Charles is officially pronounced as king. I think the transfer is technically immediate, but they just assume the new monarch might not be immediately available if something comes up so they have a Duke around for that.

Fairly sure you can't be crowned "king" unless you are a male heir to the throne. Don't think you can marry into it as a man.

So do all the minor royal families in Britain now begin a new war of the roses?

What a historic week this will be.  The Queen dies and a 5-7 last year Texas team upsets the might Bama. 

[WBT 20571]

BBC said this will be the first full state funeral since Churchill in '65.

Now confirmed. He’s keeping Charles per BBC

The Queen is dead, long live the King.

I'm only halfway through The Crown, but am rather fascinated by Queen Elizabeth's front row seat to history and powerful figures.

Also, because avatar is semi-related.

It was stated on the football board that we are undefeated after the death of a British monarch.

House of York forever.  The Windsor's are just another in a long line of Tudor derived trash.

Yep. Kings outrank Queens in the UK, so Philip could never be named King. The wife of the King can be Queen.

I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob.

[Texzilla58 4735]

The Brits should put her head on a spike along with all the surviving royals and declare a republic.

Charles is reportedly a Muslim convert so he’ll declare a caliphate. Or Wilhelm will ascend and reassert their Germanic heritage. He’s reportedly the antiChrist by many. He is the confluence of a bunch of Merovingian bloodlines.

What a great photo showing the sadness of the passing of their beloved monarch. That love, joy and sadness the people feel from the life events of their sovereign is beautiful.

That photo looks exactly like every commuter train looks like at any random moment, but with a black and white filter.

We were at Windsor Castle in 2018 and she walked past us so this hits home.
