It sounds worrying, doesn’t it?

William now being the heir, will become Prince of Wales and Kate, Princess of Wales..

No, it’s not automatic Lemsip, He will be appointed Prince of Wales at the King’s discretion.

well, I didn't make it up did I. I read it on the news just a short while ago !

That smile and that twinkle in her eye, a wonderful lady, a marvellous Queen. She will be missed ?

It's been announced,sad I'm so sad. I've never known another monarch. For most of my life I took no notice of her, I've come to appreciate her in the last 20 years or so. She came across as an excellent person who went about her duties in a stoic manner, never complaining. We've seen a lovely side of late, firstly the clever James Bond interlude during the opening of the Olympics and latterly the Paddington sketch. Just the other day, when she looked so tiny and frail but still smiling. That's how I'll remember her.

RIP our wonderful Queen so many of us are really going to miss you.

"The Queen is dead. Long live the King." I am getting that message from family all-round the world. Continuity is so important, especially in current times and for our country.

We will have to get used to hearing The King and The Queen Consort. It doesn’t seem quite right, and will take some getting used to.

She was a wonderful lady with such grace and humility, and an incredible sense of duty, how fitting for her to pass away at Balmoral, a place dear to her heart.

A lovely story here to illustrate what a wonderful Queen we had

At peace with Philip.

Thank you for all the work you have done for the UK and the Commonwealth.

RIP flowers

So sad she’s died so much a part of my life. We are now going to have to endure Charles and his mistress. The monarchy dies. He should have the country’s best interest at heart and let William and Kate be the head of state. Charles is an eccentric joke.

Yet another inappropriate comment.

Zoejory Thu 08-Sept-22 18:48:21

Just so sad

EkwaNimitee Thu 08-Sept-22 18:47:24

I know it’s so but can’t quite believe it

MawtheMerrier Thu 08-Sept-22 18:47:15

YiaYia we don’t need your vitriol, the Queen Consort is the wife of our new King.
That comment was unnecessary.

Very sad, I do hope that Meghan will not go to Balmoral, now isn't the time for drama and self importance.

And this thread is not the place for that type of comment.
Please stop.

RIP Your Majesty

It feels strange hearing, The King and Queen Consort.

The constant in our lives has gone. ?

honeyrose Thu 08-Sept-22 18:45:24

RIP Queen Elizabeth. You have served your country so well, no-one could have done better.

Been watching news all day a very sad day indeed.

dustyangel Thu 08-Sept-22 18:44:54

RIP Queen Elizabeth 11.
DH was pouring our evening glass of wine as we heard the news, so we immediately toasted her on her way.

I feel immensely sad.

Grandmadinosaur Thu 08-Sept-22 18:44:15

RIP Queen Elizabeth

She will be sadly missed.

God rest you, Your Majesty. You honoured us with your selfless service right to the end.
