King Charles and Camilla. Things just won't be the same. I perhaps should give them a chance, but they lack charisma and grace.We shall see.A very, very sad day for Britain and the Royal Family.RIP Queen Elizabeth.
Condolences to the family, but the replacement will be :King Chucky III Patron monarch of envirowhacko causes. Not that Chucky wants to use that name, because his two name sake predecessors are the only ones assocaited with a civil war that broke almost a 1000 years of continued royal rule.Just sayin'.

??? So what kind of ceremony will there be for Charles and Camilla?? OR will there be one?
I didn't realize that Charles was an envirowhacko, but the speech given by William at the Jubilee pointed out that he was an envirowhacko as wel.We shall see what happens.

There will be one probably after the 12 days of mourning for QE2
PM is making a statement. Was she the last person besides family and doctors ro see her alive?
The Associated Press@APFollowing the queen’s death, her son Charles automatically becomes king, even though the coronation might not happen for months.
I'm curious as to who will perform the coronation? I'm sure it will be televised.
the head of the Anglican Church I believe @libertybele
US Holocaust Museum@HolocaustMuseumAt age 14, with her nation at war with Nazi Germany, then-Princess Elizabeth gave her first radio address, urging children to be brave. At 18, she joined the war effort, training as a mechanic. As Queen, she inspired many with a life of service and left a lasting legacy. 1:47 PM · Sep 8, 2022
The history of the world has revealed only a few lasting arguments for political legitimacy, and the most venerable of all is a hereditary monarchy. In the modern age, no monarch has been the equal of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in dignity and long reign. The queen’s death at her beloved Balmoral Castle marks the end of Britain’s second Elizabethan age, and the nation’s outpouring of grief is not only for the loss of their queen but the loss of the truths and principles to which she had dedicated her long life and historic reign. ...Queen Elizabeth reigned through 15 British prime ministers—her first was Winston Churchill—and she, in herself, was the continuity of government. Her Christmas messages often revealed her explicit affirmation of Christian truth. Her personal stability and rectitude defined her dignity, and her dignity was grounded in centuries of royal duty and British history behind her. She understood herself to be the living representation of the nation and the embodiment of its legitimacy. When the nation suffered, she suffered. When the nation rejoiced, she rejoiced.She could not look at a British coin or stamp without seeing her own image, and yet she was no Caesar. She was the head of state but not the head of government. She loved horses and, we are told, had a sense of humor. She could never understand a figure like Diana, and she appeared both disappointed and perplexed by the bizarre trajectory of her grandson, Prince Harry. There were signs she had much more hope invested in Prince William, second in line of succession. She was in absolutely no hurry to leave the throne open for Charles, but she surely knew she would have no control over who would follow her there.Duty fell to her at such an early age, and she carried it so well, for so long, on behalf of so many. Americans sense that the British people are our near relatives and that the British monarch remains a part of our own identity. Few could have predicted, even just a century ago, that Americans would come to love a British monarch. America had respected Queen Victoria and then, to a greater and lesser degree, a succession of kings. But Americans loved Elizabeth from the start. Her death brings an end to an age, not just for the British people, but for us all. ...
