Do Q.C.s automatically become K.C.s?
I can see trump playing the statesman and attending her funeral.
If so, the interesting part will be other heads of state avoiding any interactions with him.
the males descending from the queen and prince philip and use and pass on the mountbatten-windsor last name when needed. (harry and meghan’s children have the last name of mountbatten-windsor.)
the males descending from george the 5th use windsor when a last name is needed.
the official name of the royal family is “the house of windsor”.
Does being a former president get you an automatic invite?
I could see Trump wanting to attend. I can foresee no scenario in which the Biden Administration would choose to send him as an official representative, and I would not be surprised at all if the British government would choose to not invite him.
Was this serious or did it drip with the sarcasm I imagined?
Just now on CNN: It’s confirmed, the King will be known as Charles III.
A most gracious lady who remained faithful to her duty. I think the two greatest monarchs are each named Elizabeth.
Just curious, how long will it take to alter those Beefeater uniforms that currently show E II R and make them say C III R?
It’s got to be real tough for people to start singing God Save the King, most have never sung those words. I bet a ton of people are going to sing God Save the Qu- I mean King.
Were they cavalier about it?
Unfortunately, seriously. But I mean as a private citizen with delusions of importance. He has to maintain his contacts for when he’s reinstated. That part was sarcasm.
He is unlikely to be invited
I don’t see him giving a rat’s ass about this. The Queen was never seen in any picture wearing an oversized red ball cap so it’s obvious she’s a RINO!
That would be the biggest insult in history. Nobody’s seen such an insult.
For the most part, yes - but I will always enjoy the memory of her skydiving into the opening ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Yeah, I know it wasn’t really her, but it was a great showing of her sense of humor, that she was willing to participate in that skit with Daniel Craig as James Bond.
“Royalty” in Name Only?
Good question, but it will be a year or more away.
It looks like William is now Duke of Cornwall and Cambridge, but not Prince of Wales as that title isn’t automatically passed on.
Third time’s the charm!
More seriously, though, having been “Prince Charles” for 73 years, it makes sense that one would say what’s the point…
I attended her Coronation parade at the age of 1 month. She was Queen for my entire life.
