I don't think so.
I think Prince William needs to be formally crowned Prince of Wales.
However he is the heir apparent.

Sorry to hear that. Perhaps change the title of the thread to reflect this update.

Oooh twitter already calling them King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla.

I cant help thinking of Diana at this time. If she would have been alive and still married to Charles then she would be Queen today. Must be a really difficult time for William and Harry.

On a different note, all the retrospective photos popping up are for some reason making me think of the Kindertransport. I know some of the families that owe their existence to those children making their way to Great Britain. Certainly one of the UK's finest accomplishments. I wonder in what respect that stands as a zchus for the late Queen, but those things are unknowable and not for non-role models like me to try figuring out .

The Queen was born in 1926. She was about the same age as some of the children, maybe slightly older than most.

No she wouldn't have been Queen. They got divorced.

Not excited to have King William.

I hear William promotes the Climate Change Hoax.

Europe is falling into poverty because Europe shut down it's energy production
of Coal and Gas.

And USA is falling into poverty because our Oil, Gas, and Coal production was also shut down.

Yes, that is why I said if they would have still been married. Its all bittersweet and must be a difficult time for William and Harry to go through (and it probably brings up the trauma surrounding their mothers death as well).

I've been wasting time all morning on twitter, and to me it's so shocking that a person who basically lived a bland, scandal-free life, working until almost the day she died and being generally conservative with her monies and kind, has elicited extremely vile and hateful rejoicing at her passing.

I wonder if there was Jewish Twitter, if we would have seen similar hate on some of the saddest funerals in the Jewish world?

Edit: As soon as the English Monarch closes he/she his/her daughter/son is becoming the new monarch. That is how the law works.

I believe CHarles was Prince of Wales from birth.

That title goes to the Heir to the throne.

Now Charles is King and William is the new Prince of Wales.

He didn't get the title from birth. It was a specific appointment from the Queen. The Crown even had an episode about it.

Charles will probably give it to William in the next year or so.

Oooh, way more importantly, William now automatically gets the Duchy of Cornwall, which means he just became much, much richer.

That the monarchy in England lasted this long is only due to the respect of the country to the Queen. This is probably the beginning of the end of the institution.
People don't flock to line the streets to see ~~Prince~~ King Charles.

Knowing that Charles has so few supporters I cant help wondering how much longer the monarchy will last.
Its a sad day for the UK.
Going to check on my grandma now. She's probably really upset.
