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. 😕

Sorry, Helen, but it's a fact, not a possibility. On his mother's death Charles immediately became King and his oldest son, Prince William, became first in line to the throne. Charles had a choice of which of his christian names he chose to rule under and opted for King Charles III. He will be known as that even before his coronation.
