    Why?  Not a chance IMHO.

    I think it'll be small insult to his Mum's work if he immediately abdicated

    So sad. She was a magnificent Queen and matriarch of our country. Such a wonderful woman and fantastic role model. Never complained and gave so much joy to many many people. 
    RIP.

    He's 73, and I think he'll want to hand it off to his Son William pretty quickly tbh

    He will carry on with serving the country as his mother will have wanted.

    Give your head a shake, take a pill and just let us deal with the loss of our Queen, OK?

    Something would need to happen to Charles | William | George

    Considering it was patently obvious a couple of hours ago she had died, I can’t believe how numb and sad I feel on the confirmation.

    The most amazing, remarkable woman. Even anti-monarchists I’m sure would agree you could not have a better Queen. 

    God Save The Queen


    That is how it hit me - it felt as if it was coming all afternoon, but it was still a hammer blow when the news came on.

    He is a firm believer in the monarchy and the principle of service.

    There is no reason to abdicate.

    In any case that is for another thread, not here.

    RIP, a very sad day. It became obvious that everyone knew and was waiting the official announcement, but the news was still a massive shock .

    It was well coordinated that the Buckingham Palace flag was at half mast just before the announcement was made, you could see the crowd outside reacting to this

    So many things will change, new money and stamps, the Kings speech at Christmas, His Majesty's Revenue and Customs, Prisons etc

    I can't think of anyone else in the UK who would command this level of respect.

    RIP your Majesty. An incredible Reign.

    King Charles just doesn't sound right. I keep thinking 'Spaniel'

    All previously printed notes will continue to be rolled out into circulation but new ones going forward will be printed with the King (I would guess)

    Same with coins I suppose, and stamps?

    its these things that make us realise how she was the golden thread running through our lives.

    I remember as a 7 year old, being taken by my family to Trafalgar square to see her coronation in 1953.
    My parents chose Admiralty Arch to watch the procession pass.
    Weirdly the only detail I remember is a pigeon leaving a deposit on my head & shirt.

    I have a massive sense of loss.    R.I.P.
