September 8, 20223 yr I'm kinda jealous that [mention=593]Brisketexan[/mention] might get to shout "the Queen is dead, long live the King!" whilst sitting on a shitter in a London pub. FIFY.

September 8, 20223 yr 26 minutes ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: I don't see why Charles should refuse or quickly abdicate. It's not like he's that unpopular and his popularity will rise with the death of his mom and subsequent coronation. Also the story is that his mom has refused abdication because it's their families' service to accept the role they have and not run away from it. That's his role model for his role as king. Still he's 73 and won't last forever. Is the hatred really just about cheating on Princess Di with a common slag and marrying her after Di was killed? Or is there more too it. He looks like a wanker but so do a lot of Brits I imagine. I don't pay a lot of attention but don't recall him giving any memorable speeches and I'm not even sure I've seen him speak at all. Like I said earlier, there was a lot of charm in having the old lady as the queen, if its some bland dildo called King, it just feels off in todays world.
September 8, 20223 yr My son is living in London for his freshman year. That would be a wild experience to have the Queen’s funeral. He’s not far from Buckingham Palace.

Well, when were they supposed to stop and say, “Know what would be swell? If we wrote down our constitution!” To be fair, I believe a lot of the key details were codified in various Acts, but there is still a whole lot of stuff that is pure tradition.
September 8, 20223 yr Our office is close to Buckingham. I am glad I am back in the US this week. If this happens, will cause travel snarls and all sorts of things.

Oh, “resting comfortably under medical supervision” means “hospice,” I’m sure. I just don’t think they’re actually keeping her death secret for hours.

No, it's not. I'm watching BBC now, and its banner is red. They're not doing anything peremptorily. The anchor may be in black because you don't want to make an announcement wearing a bright color. But it's no indication that anything has happened already.

If that video posted on the first page is true, that statement is pretty similar to "The king's life is moving peacefully towards its close" immediately before he was given a massive speedball.

Yeah. The banner is red on the version of BBC I have. Also, the last guy I saw talking appeared to be wearing a dark navy suit and tie. The suit could've been black, but the tie was definitely navy.

September 8, 20223 yr When does the stock market close over there? I figured if she’s passed away they will issue a response when the market closes

September 8, 20223 yr Lol. The anchor said Meghan may not have traveled due to having to watch the kids. Those poor former royals can't afford a nanny! Which is also weird since all the outlets previously reported that she was traveling with him. Maybe she's in Scotland, just not at Balmoral? Edited September 8, 20223 yr by SquishMitten

September 8, 20223 yr Almost seems like the modern purpose of maintaining the monarchy is to give the tabloids endless fodder.
