DEAD!! Mary Poppins actress Glynis Johns dies aged 100 - BBC News First hit of 2024!

Well, shouting in people's faces can lead to a bullet going into your head. America is already heading that way. So do it at your own risk.

Looks like the queen simply died of old age: https://www.thenews.com.pk/latest/989756-queen-elizabeth-s-official-cause-of-death-revealed Heart failure is simply the heart steadily giving up after beating for so long; it can be controlled with drugs for some years, but it's ultimately a terminal condition. She would also have had atherosclerosis, which typical of someone who has reached such an advanced age. All in all, these are conditions due to the very old age, so not a surprise.

Twitter is full of cretins. I never go there.

Almost certainly she was sedated with morphine. This is normal practice with terminal patients reaching their end.

Fucking hell you are one sick bastard. Go fuck yourself asshole!

Has anyone confirmed this?

Dream on.

A lot of people do. I wasn't aware of when the queen passed away!

I believe the queen was already dead when the others all arrived.

I was proved wrong. I was under the impression that Charles would become George VII - I believe this was his original intention. I suppose his advisers thought it better to continue for him to be known as Charles.

You don't automatically become Prince of Wales, you have to be invested, by the sovereign.

Johnson might have been a lot of things, but he was certainly erudite, I'll give him that. Compared to Truss he is around 50 points higher on the IQ scale.

The queen is dead - God save the queen! Long live our new king, Charles III.

He probably told her that he will make so much money in the next few years that he'll be even richer than her!

Possibly, but if she survives she is likely to be totally incapacitated, so what would happen then? Prince Charles would have to act as a king without actually being so. A totally ludicrous situation. Really, the queen should have abdicated upon reaching 90 instead of insisting on carrying on to the bitter end.

Yes they are. Presidents govern, they rule, a constitutional monarch reigns, and reigns only. The elected government rules.

The second anthem is from Pomp & Circumstance March no.1, commonly known as 'Land of Hope and Glory'. But I don't think the national anthem would be changed other than replacing 'queen' with 'king'.

As they are already rich I doubt they care much.

No new announcements from any official source, so I assume nothing has changed. No tears evident on the faces of princes in the car, so I assume HM is still living.

Stop being a prick.

They would definitely do it sooner than 14 months. In the modern age these things can be arranged much more quickly.

The monarchy is a symbol - it doesn't need to 'achieve' anything, it's just 'there'. As you are American I don't expect you to understand this, because your nation sees everything in purely practical terms.

It normally takes place the following year. So it would be in 2023 if the queen dies soon.

No guarantee that the government will ask businesses to close, though it would be expected as a mark of respect.
