Things that have already changed since the passing of HRH

[workiskillingme]

Just wondering if any many changes have happened anywhere in terms of businesses etc

My life is falling apart now that my steadfast rock has gone😔. I just didn’t realise how much her kind words made everything tolerable.

When will the coronation be? There was a 16 month gap between the Queen becoming queen and being crowned. Is that normal?

What will happen to the Queen’s personal staff??
People like Angela Kelly and her private secretary?

I imagine some are retirement age and will simply retire but will Charles staff take over their roles?

Yes normal - It's arranged for a convenient time some months after the accession. If I were guessing, I'd say June next year - around the time of the Official Birthday (if they can make it all work together)

I think Charles will make William Prince of Wales before the coronation. Both Edward VIII and George V made their eldest sons Prince of Wales before their coronations. The late Queen did not, likely because Charles was so young.

Your department must have made different arrangements as per Civil Service Management Code www.gov.uk/government/publications/civil-servants-terms-and-conditions

Section 9.2.4 sets out the entitlement.

you're right! I need to change some of our paperwork (for the cub scouts)

Personal staff are in a redundancy situation, either immediately or after a transition period.

They can either be offered roles in the other Royal households, and should be priority candidates if there are vacancies, or will be paid off or have voluntary early retirement.

I expect there may be soft influence to assist them in finding new posts elsewhere if they want to continue working but there are no current suitable roles to move to.

🤣🤣🤣

Radio stations are just playing sad songs.

Haven't read the full thread, this may have already been mentioned, but what will the new age be called? Under the last King Charles (II) they were called the Restoration years, what next after the Elizabethan Age?

I joined in 2017 and I get it. Usually tagged on to the late May bank hols.

I guess the royal standard will change to Charles colours, unless they don't change them anymore.

Re the oath of allegiance, ds2 joined the army a few years ago so we have a copy of the signed oath he took. He was medically discharged and is now in the process of reinlisting, I guess he will be retaking the oath as a result, so may well end up with another copy but to the king.

We’re Carolingians now apparently!

Sorry ! I have just read the term "Carolingians". I think I would prefer to stay an Elizabethan.

I haven't RTFT but some of the chambers' websites have already changed their senior counsel to KC. I saw a couple that had changed them all to KC individually but still under the header Queen's Counsel, and one guy was listed as Joe Bloggs KQC - some web monkey obviously working in a hurry.

My usual Absolute 80s radio station is full of maudlin songs. Not from the 80s.

Had to switch it off. Can't bear misbag music

We’re all charlatans now 😏

Fine if you are a trekkie, I would think.

This made me laugh a lot.

Wow! I'm amazed at this I've never seen a VR post box! Now I want to go find one! Don't worry I won't stalk you to find out where your lane is I genuinely promise 😂

@CaptainBarbosa

Here you go 😆

Oh yes! I hadn't thought about all that!

For the postbox nerds - almost unique example due to design feature …

His father, the new king, has to confer that title on him.

What is the difference between the two terms?
