When The Queen dies...

[sunnyjune]

And Charles becomes King, will William become the new Prince of Wales?

Kate would then become Princess of Wales and I just wonder if they'd want another Princess of Wales.

I know it's been almost 21 years since Diana's death, but it still seems so fresh. The title is still so heavily associated with Diana, I wonder if William and Harry would want that.

@MillicentF ah well I'll just watch Netflix 😂

One day only? I need time to mourn😫

I think they will be a good p&p of Wales. A nice refreshing change.

I agree @squarecorners

Will be abit strange at first though as I associate 'princess of Wales' with Diana so much!

I think there is no better replacement than Catherine, though.

It's weird how I don't give a damn about Charles' title, the weak, spineless, ass😩. All the qualities one wishes for in a future head of state!

When Charles becomes King, Camilla becomes Queen.
Bad behaviour gets rewarded.
I don't know how William and Harry can be in the same room as her.
If she didn't make herself available to Charles that marriage might have stood a chance.

If you work in the public sector, you may be asked to wear mourning at work for a specified period.

When the royal family start wearing mourning over the death of a member of my family, I'll start wearing it for them.

If she didn't make herself available to Charles that marriage might have stood a chance.

that marriage never stood a chance.

I thought that youtube tune was going to be the sad one discussed earlier

I’m intrigued by the suggestion upthread that no work would be done on behalf of the crown for a mourning period of some days.

Where might this leave Brexit negotiations, if the timings were to coincide I wonder?

I was hoping Charles declines the throne when the time comes

Hah, no chance. The man is past retirement age and still waiting to start his job. There's no way he's going to decline it!

I don't think there's anyway William wants to take it up either at the moment.

No their marriage never stood a chance, he loved Camilla and should have just stood up for himself and married her.

Imagine marrying someone because your dad and granny tell you to fully knowing from the get go you don't love them? It's so odd!

I don't know how William and Harry can stand it, it must have been very difficult at first especially so soon after losing their mother. I suppose feelings mellow over the years and Camilla does actually seem to be an ok kinda person, if you discount all the cheating.

Really not that recent though and there have been plenty of princesses of wales before Diana.

I had chicken pox during the coronation celebrations and couldn't go to any of the kids' parties or TV watchings (we didn't have a telly).

The family were all so sorry for me and bought me lots of books about kings of the past, coronation ceremonies etc etc. I particularly remember having to ask about King Stephen and the Anarchy, and what "Usurper" meant.

Almost certainly the reason I later studied mediaeval history at Uni...!

zombie....

It will just be odd when he is King after never knowing any other monarch than the Queen.

My DMum remembers singing God Save the King

You'd probably have to be 70+ to remember that

I don't think it matters (for once) that this one is an old thread - it's not exactly a subject that goes off! Well, not until after the event when we'll all know the definitive answer.....
