Queen Elizabeth II has died aged 96, Buckingham Palace announces

[Gefn]

The new King’s remarks were moving. And no teleprompter I think, just a nice clear headed statement. 🇬🇧

 

[mystery-ak]

Charles gave a very wonderful and heartfelt tribute.  His Moma will be missed.   

He mentions Harry and Markle being overseas and I think that was his way of saying, they will hold no titles or duties.  Good for Charles.

Question @mystery-ak do you know if Kate will hold all the titles that Diana did??

'He succeeds me as Duke of Cornwall and takes on the responsibilities for the Duchy of Cornwall which I have undertaken for more than five decades. Today, I am proud to create him Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty.

'With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given.

It looks like it...the biggy is Princess of Wales...

'With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given. I want also to express my love for Harry and Meghan as they continue to build their lives overseas.

Could be wishful thinking on my part, but it sounds like the king is giving Harry what he's chosen  -- and the senior royals is now a gang of seven.

[Kamaji]

Harry and Meghan seem to be following the path of Edward and Wallis Simpson, except I think Meghan might be even more odious than her predecessor.

Absolutely.  And they appear to be embodying the worst of the caricatures of Edward and Wallis as portrayed in The Crown.

You are correct...he gave Harry and Meghan his love....so far that's it..

Not sure now if Archie and Lilibet have the title of Prince and Princess since he is now King...it will be his decision.

Here's a tip for future royal generations..never let your child marry an American...

He may have done a wee bit more ... he loves them as they "continue to build their lives overseas". 

I'm not seeing a royal balcony photo op in their future.

That seems to be a pretty pointed order, when taken in context.

Still maintain that it is because everybody knows that he isn't Harry's father.   Diana was an adulteress.

Harry Hewitt?

[Right_in_Virginia]

I wonder if travel arrangements for William and his children will now change ......

[Gefn]

I wonder what will happen to all the Queen’s ladies in waiting….some of them have been with her over 50 years….
Will they be retired with pension?


The late Queen had a lot of people around her, butlers, chauffeurs etc.

[DCPatriot]

Harry Hewitt?

@mountaineer   Exactly.

IMO, she had absolutely no physical attraction to Charles after William was born.  Her attitude was obviously, "You only live once!"

[libertybele]

You are correct...he gave Harry and Meghan his love....so far that's it..

Not sure now if Archie and Lilibet have the title of Prince and Princess since he is now King...it will be his decision.

If I'm not mistaken Harry and Markle decided that they didn't want their children to have titles.

[DCPatriot]

If I'm not mistaken Harry and Markle decided that they didn't want their children to have titles.

That's the "public position".  The Queen was probably adamant that no titles would be bestowed.

Harry and Meghan's children become Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet

By Christian Edwards, CNN

Updated 10:38 AM ET, Fri September 9, 2022

London (CNN)Following the death of the Queen, Harry and Meghan's children have become His Royal Highness Prince Archie of Sussex and Her Royal Highness Princess Lilibet of Sussex.

The change is a result of conventions created over a century ago. Under rules set out by George V in 1917, the grandchildren of the monarch automatically receive royal titles.

As grandchildren of King Charles III, Archie and Lilibet now have the right to be prince and princess, whereas they did not immediately qualify as the great-grandchildren of the Queen.

Harry and Meghan's children technically become 'Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet'

The late Queen's death means Archie and Lilibet are entitled to the HRH title until King Charles alters protocols
By Telegraph Reporters 9 September 2022 • 1:50pm



The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's son, Archie Mountbatten-Windsor, is now technically a prince - a title which Meghan controversially claimed was previously denied to him because of his race.

His younger sister, Lilibet "Lili" Mountbatten-Windsor, is also entitled to be a princess following the death of the Queen and with her grandfather, the Prince of Wales, becoming King.

The rules set out by King George V in 1917 mean Archie and Lili - as the children of a son of a sovereign - also now have an HRH style if they choose to use it.

In 2021, it was suggested Charles - in a bid to limit the number of key royals - intended, when he became monarch, to prevent Archie becoming a prince.

To do so, he will have to issue a Letters Patent amending Archie's right to be a prince and Lili's right to be a princess.

Until that potentially happens or if it does not, Archie and Lili remain a prince and princess, whether their parents choose to use the titles or not.

The Queen’s passing reminds us that the Greatest Generation is almost gone - along with its signal virtues: humility, discretion, manners, reserve, service, duty, sacrifice, selflessness, patriotism, faith, grace.

Without them, civilization falls apart.

And here we are.
