Has King Charles III died?

Everyone gets a go!

The nature of a system will depend on a country's various political and social legacies. So in Switzerland as a relatively loose confederation, a council makes sense. Here, by far the easiest way to get rid of the monarchy would be to change to an Ireland/Germany-style system. A directly elected president with no executive power. Quite aside from it not necessarily being desirable, a switch to a France or US style system would involve upending the whole parliamentary system.
As I thought every six months, "The Captains Regent are not heads of government, but only heads of state without executive power" Captains Regent - Wikipedia

Edit: Forgot to mention that for what it's worth San Marino also democratically elected Western Europe's up until now only communist government who remained in power from 1945 - 1957.

The last four pages have not been very informative about whether he's dead or not! This article seems to rather boringly suggest that nothing's happened:

Newsweek understands the king is this week continuing with his scaled-down duties, as has been the case since his cancer diagnosis.
Lizards have scales :hmm: :D

These things aren’t binary. It’s looking more and more likely that he’s a little bit dead, and perhaps getting deader by the day.

If you have to ask the question on an internet forum then no he's not dead yet.
 
Imagine waiting all your life to be king. Then getting the job and kicking the bucket within 10 months.
That's got to suck.
 
I don’t understand the question. Do you mean were Johnson elected non executive president? Then what would stop him is that it’s a ceremonial post without the powers to do anything.

Personally, I wouldn’t have any such thing. We don’t need a monarchy. If you have something that isn’t needed, once rid it it, why would you replace it?
Because otherwise the PM becomes HoS.
Some slimy deviant like Boris or hopeless incompetent like Truss.
I'd rather have a lettuce.
 
Laughing at the thought of all the politicians wondering if he’s on the way out, and how they can use such an occasion to appear statesmanlike and more electable. Because they will be doing this.
 
All the conspiracy nuts reckoning that he's carked and it's being covered up are not asking the key question of why would they cover it up? Kings are completely interchangeable. There's a replacement in the wings ready to step in and take up any waving and signing that needs to be done.

....once they've finished their copy of photoshop for dummies
 
Seem to be a ridiculous number of 'announcement due' type messages on X over last couple of days. Any idea why it's suddenly snowballed?

Well, depends what he died of. If he's died of cancer that's one thing, if it turns out Diana actually survived the assassination attempt and has just returned to get her revenge after about 25 years spent hiding in the French countryside that's a bit more embarrassing.

Newsweek is a right wing conspiracy site according to the SPLC so we should assume something has very definitely happened.
