The Queen is Dead

Queen Elizabeth II died today (September 8, 2022), aged 96, after 70 years of service.
I am not British, but I have always had the utmost respect for this remarkable woman.
When it was about self-discipline and performance of one's duties this lady has always been my role model. Always doing what had to be done. A person from an era when honesty meant much more than money, and perhaps even more than life.
Sad news.
Sit tibi terra levis, Queen Elizabeth. 😕

Easily as predominant as Elizabeth the First and Queen Victoria. Should I call Prince Charles king now or is that after coronation?

@Pfuzylogic I do believe the nation always has a monarch therefore he became king the moment the queen died. He is Charles III.

@GeniUs Please discuss possible successors elsewhere. Thank you.

@GeniUs
I do think he is ready.

Sorry Helen but he has already made a statement as King Charles the third and his Queen Consort Camilla @helenS

@Pfuzylogic He is technically King now; no break in the crown is permitted. Formalities to follow. We will miss the Queen.

@Pfuzylogic One may refer to him as the king, the swearing in ceremony takes place immediately after the death of the reining monarch. The formal ceremony will be later.
Elizabeth was anointed Queen in the jungles of Africa on the death of her father.

@Quimliqer
I saw later on the news that he was King immediately. I decided to be respectful to someone that care deeply for the Queen.
