    Duty bound and thoroughly devoted to service until the very end. May Elizabeth R rest in peace.

    The end of an era.

    Long live King Charles III.

    You think that's the name he''ll take? He can choose any.

      True. However I suspect he will reign as Charles.

          I have a strangely emotional response. She’s been probably the one constant all my life.

          Yeah, I'm exactly the same way.

          (Phibbs) Yeah, I'm exactly the same way.

          Me, too.

          My initial reaction: (First, a deleted expletive), but after that: Oh no, oh no, oh NO.

          So much has happened to tilt the world I know, but this . . . this is going to take some getting used to.

          And special condolences to Phibbs and Renauda. ♥

                    That's what Mrs. George said. Why not just "Queen," because Charles divorced Diana?

                      @George-K they are already referring to her with that title. If memory serves it was negotiated when they married.

                          I am reeeaally gonna louse this up, but it has something to do with the King's first wife is the one and only Queen because in times past, her virginity was assured (so a bastard from somebody else conceived before the royal wedding didn't wind up in the succession). That is believed not to be applicable to any other woman the King takes up with. So no other woman can be Queen.

                          Or something.

                            She has been a constant for many people, not just in the UK. I have nothing but great admiration and respect for her. I'm actually kind of teary.

                            RIP Elizabeth II.

                                  I was thinking about this, and she was arguably the most famous person in the world. Other people might be more talked about, but they come and go, but she's got to be the most recognizable person I can think of.

                                  I was only joking

                                    It’s official, His Majesty will rule as King Charles III.

                                    Note Charles will no longer be referred as His Royal Highness but rather His Majesty. HRH is for Princes and Princesses.
