Yes, we tend to forget Kate's title will change.I never realized that Kate would be Princess of Wales like Diana was. That makes me emotional. I wonder if Elton John will make another Candle In the Wind for The Queen like he did with Diana and Marylyn Monroe.
Kate isn't The Queen quite yet.I certainly hope not since I think Kate has every intention of living a long life.
I thought so, too. But, she ascended the throne as the queen of the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, and she left as the queen of the United Kingdom and fourteen Commonwealth realms. So it fits.I honestly thought she would live forever just out of spite. She can't leave everything to Charles and the other idgets she calls family.
I'm happy for Kathryn, she's been a model wife and mother to William and her beautiful children. I think she will eventually be a wonderful Queen.Yes, we tend to forget Kate's title will change.
Oh God, now we have King Charles.
That's going to be the sunset moment for the British monarchy.
If there was a King election, my bet would be on Sir Paul vs Charlesoh I thought someone was referring to Paul McCartney as the King when I first read the sentence at the top there
From that link:
Elizabeth became the first reigning monarch to visit Australia and New Zealand. It was estimated that three-quarters of Australians turned out to see her in person.
Wow!
We are all just waking up (on Friday morning) to the news here. Very, very sad.
I guess we expected it, as the news of her taking a turn for the worst was breaking on the very late news last night.
TV is playing the reruns of her Aussie visits now. The droves of people lining the streets, handing her flowers and waving flags.
The picture of Harry that is on this article made me get choked up. He looks devastated. Makes me think this was sudden & wonder if she passed in her sleep or something.

My personal thanks to all the members in this thread. I recently lost my own mother (age 92) and I feel a bit lost at not being in UK today with this news. Theirs was truly a great generation where the heart and mind were willing until the very end where it was only their human bodies that failed them.
How wonderful that you were able to see the Queen in person @steeltowngirl What a fantastic memory that must be.I was lucky enough to be in London in 2001 for the Trooping the Colour parade. I hope it’s ok to share this photo I took of Queen Elizabeth II.

I've always related to Harry more than anyone in the family.William has been portrayed as perfect golden boy in spite of many rumors about his fidelity.The picture of Harry that is on this article made me get choked up. He looks devastated. Makes me think this was sudden & wonder if she passed in her sleep or something.
