I feel it's not to protect us but to protect the actors. As I recall one of the first programmes the BBC showed after the announcement that JFK had been assassinated was "The Harry Worth Show". I'm convinced it more or less ended poor old Harry's career. People watching in a state of shock didn't find him at all funny, and never did ever again. Not his fault, but he sufferered for it.
That's my theory, anyway.

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.

Charles will become king immediately, but won't be crowned for about a year.

I think she's got a few years in her left (hopefully anyway) and unfortunately Prince Philip will pop his clogs first.

It's the fakeness and all the crap about "the nation is in mourning" and "she had great respect from the entire nation" and "the whole country needs to pay their respects" that I can't stand. It's the assumption we all have to somehow care and acknowledge the event.
you can't force people to be sad Quote:
Would the nation go into mourning like the day when we heard Diana was killed in a car crash
Quote:
The nation did not go into mourning. The media told us we all had.

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

The way 2016 is going I wouldn't be surprised if her majesty kicks it before the years out. She's also been quite sick lately too. Obviously I don't want it to happen but it's going to be a massive shock. What will happen? Will there be a few days of mourning and a few days off work? Will we be off work for the funeral? 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
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.

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

According to the link below, which was just tweeted, the news is fake and the account that started the rumour has been suspended.
http://www.koat.com/article/queen-el...-tweet/8545971 Probably all rubbish (and I hope so too) but it wouldn't surprise me. |

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