That's my theory, anyway.

No we wont. The best she could have hoped for was Queen Consort as it is she will be Princess Consort
Even if Charlie died before her she wouldnt be kept on the throne as Queen,. The throne would pass to William

I really don't understand the liking for Mrs Browns boys, it's so cringey and unfunny to me and that's me saying that

I must say I remember JFK dying and have been reminded on the anniversary every year since on various programmes the TV have trawled up. Cannot say it moved me much at the time where I wanted TV to go into mourning as JFK dying meant very little to me, never has and never will.

She'll have had a fair innings and provided jug ears hasn't carked it before his mum, he takes the top spot. I have no respect for the monarchy but on a humanitarian level, yep, it will be sad for her loved ones. They'll grieve and carry on as best they can. The 'suits' will make sure of that.

According to one article in recent days reporting on her 'heavy cold', it's already been decided that there will not be such a long gap between Charles ascending to the throne and his coronation as there was with Her Maj (she became Queen in Feb 52 but the coronation wasn't till June 53)

Not necessairily, but if he DOES go first I think she won't last very long without him.

you can't force people to be sad”

Indeed, but that didn't stop Blair telling the world that "the whole country is saddened" when Margaret snuffed it!

You will have to explain the relevance of that observation; it certainly escapes me.

How quickly will Charles become king? Will it cost the country a lot of money if the markets close? We don't really have a precedent of a long reigning monarch dying in this day and age”

A mahoooooosive expensive funeral.

Why will it be a shock? She's in her 90's.

There's a current rumour on Twitter (I know) surrounding a current media blackout regarding death of someone famous. Many are speculating that it's the Queen.

According to the link below, which was just tweeted, the news is fake and the account that started the rumour has been suspended.

" liking this page" ”

hundreds of fans immediately started writing their messages of condolence on the Facebook page, expressing their sadness that the talented 90-year-old monarch was dead

I wouldn't really describe her as 'talented' , maybe she's an excellent banjo player ?

That explains why his TV series ran for over 100 episodes during the 60s.

Couple of days bank holiday I should imagine. One for the funeral (at least) then one for Charles coronation

Fiddler perhaps.

I like to see these rumours as I enjoy reading through the comments. There's some seriously worrying people out there.

There have been a few tweets today even before the fake article tweet. It's talking about a media blackout until 8am tomorrow as per protocol.

Probably all rubbish (and I hope so too) but it wouldn't surprise me.
