Wait, so it might not be King Charles but maybe King “whateverelse”? I know I’ve probably read it here but I didn’t even think of him changing his name. He can pick a name like Elizabeth's dad was King George VI but his name was really Albert Frederick Arthur George. Or Queen Victoria was Alexandrina Victoria. He can pick any name that he has since they have like 10 first names right? |

Guys, the woman was 96 years old. This shit was figured out ages ago. Chuck has definitely been planning this moment for the last 50 years. Not even in a sarcastic way, but like he’s been waiting for this in some fashion his entire life. |

I'm pretty sure "Queen Consort" is the appropriate way to address her until they know what name she's going to take too. The spouse can do that shit as well, I believe.

Considering Charles I was executed and Charles II exiled for several years, he could be open to changing it, but I don't think he will go by anything by Charles, in keeping with his mother sticking with Elizabeth. He has been known as Charles for all of his 73 years so I can see him keeping it. |

I’m very fascinated that they keep saying “queen consort” and not invoking the name Camilla at all. I get why because it's a very shaky tightrope but the Queen Mother was Queen Elizabeth right? I know QEII's grandmother was Queen Mary. Oh, I get it. I’m just mildly amused by it. Camilla is the new Beetleguese. |

Elizabeth’s father was Albert (Bertie). He chose George for his regal name. How confusing to have a new name. I’d forget to respond to it.

How strange for the Cambridge kids that Pappap is now a king. Or maybe it's not weird to them.

They haven't been terribly reliable on this front, but Sky News guy is saying Harry is en route from Aberdeen and should arrive at Balmoral in 20-25 min. ☹️

I have a nasty cold and am WFH so I took a nap over lunch. I knew it would be announced while I was sleeping.
Nothing is evoking any emotion from me other than just empathy for the family since she's their beloved family member. If anything I'm a bit annoyed that Charles is now in charge, unless he goes after Andrew right away.

I refuse to believe that Harry got the news so much later than William and Co. that he was that far behind them.
Yes there are rifts but I choose to think that Betty told someone she trusted "when the time is near, get Harry." Especially with him being in London.

No one will tell me otherwise. He may hate them but he wouldn't just not fly with them if it meant he got to her quicker. |
