The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

Why not just "Queen," because Charles divorced Diana?
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.

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.

Liz Truss just addressed the nation in front of 10 Downing and referred to King Charles III.
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.

Was the queen well enough to formally invite her to lead her government the other day?

As genuinely sad as I feel, I'm very glad that I'm not in the UK at the moment. They won't talk about anything else for weeks.

When people say "the Queen" people know it's referring to Elizabeth II. When they show an image of a little white haired lady in a bright colored hat with a purse dangling on her arm, people know it's the Queen.
Heck, even my children recognize her and they have nothing to do with Britain. In fact, it was my daughter who texted me this morning and ask "Did you guys hear about the Queen?"

Wonder if this is the beginning of the end for the British Monarchy?
I think William will be very popular when he succeeds. There might be a bit of a hiccup with Charlie.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.
