I don’t really royal, but what happens to the queens crown? Is she buried with it? Is it part of the royal families collection?

I believe her crowns (both the sparkly tiaras and the big heavy crown of state) all belong to the Crown Jewels, so to the next Monarch. Tiaras go back into the collection. The crown itself will be used again when Charles is crowned. Maybe sooner? I’m not sure |

The one I was thinking of is the Imperial State Crown and is worn by the monarch when opening Parliament (and maybe other times but I stopped reading). A bigger crown called St Edwards Crown is used for the actual coronation. And I don’t think Charles will wear the Imperial State Crown until after his coronation. |

The Crown started with Liz becoming the queen. So with six seasons total being announced, will they make it to her death...?

I can’t believe I’m repeating this but apparently there is a theory going around the internet that the Queen was reincarnated today as the baby of some YouTuber.

Here is the newspaper rack at my local store this morning. Even the tiny local paper had the Queen on the front page  |

Charles just announced the mourning period will be extended to now be a week after the queens funeral (whenever that is)

Apparently Harry flew back to London today on a commercial flight and no one else flew commercial.

According to the Royal reporter on GMA, William, Edward, Sophie and Andrew didn’t make it before she died either.

My husband didn't care about any of this until he heard Premier League games might be cancelled this weekend to mourn. He was less than pleased.

If has to be so hard to not be on good terms with his family through all of this and to know every move you make is being so publicly scrutinized. And then he and Meghan will have to navigate the funeral. |

Remember how I went on the tour to Scotland back in June? They do our exact tour only twice a year. The second option we were debating heavily on is there this week.
I couldn't imagine being there right now.
And I bet everything we did is shut down for mourning.

You know, if they were a healthy family. |

Great top. When my sister got her Corgi my kids were already born and named. We were looking through names the Queen used for Corgis and both of my kids names are on the list. My sister will never let me live it down. Amazing |

I want a corgi so very badly. I shall keep these names in mind. My neighbors have an Auggie (corgi/Aussie) and he is the sweetest little dog. He almost makes me want one. |

I have the news hangover thing you get after a big event like this and yet I can’t stop watching coverage etc.
Dd and I were telling h all the royal stuff last night while watching. I’m sure he was impressed. BUT I was disappointed because he didn’t know Camila was the mistress so we have more class tonight
