Has the Queen died?

taxi drivers around london crying as they know people will not want to visit Charles at Buckingham palace as much as lizzie
 
Are they going to retire the Princess of Wales name ?
Don't know if this is true but on the deathlist forum someone said he doesn't get the wales one until chucky gives it him in a ceremony. The cornwall one passed to him automatically.

OMFG this coverage on the Beeb (I am watching it just through sheer fascination at this point) - the news reader now sighing and a moment of sounding a bit tearful, I am cracking up :D

"These children... will grow up... knowing only King Charles III..." - not unless the monarchy comes to an end after him, he looks like he's about to kark it soon
 
I think William has to be Prince of Wales, because he's the heir apparent. No idea when.

yes - it is traditional that the heir apparent gets to be prince of wales, but charles didn't get the title until 1958 and didn't get ceremonially invested until 1969 - although that may have been because he wasn't 21 until 1969.

and camilla became duchess of cornwall but not princess of wales.

the establishment is fairly good at quoting 'tradition' when it suits them, and making it up as they go along when that suits them.
 
They don't want the Mail etc to bad mouth them for not being in black when the inevitable happens.

Peter Sissons was criticised for days for wearing a purple tie when the Queen Mum passed.
I think I wrote and complained to the BBC about this. He should have gone full Timmy Mallet.

So wales was unprinced for 5 years :eek:

Think you meant kate not camilla?
 
Off to the pub, but my quick search for anti-monarchist beers didn't come up with anything. Suggestions?
 
Show some respect. Liz ruled the waves for 70 years and you're struggling to finish cracking one off. Show some true British pluck, man.
