Time to end on a high? Shall we just abandon this whole monarchy thing and time to flip over to a republic and leave the much revered queen as the last ever monarch of the UK?

Seems like Scotland is going to go independent, and if Scotland do Wales will only be a matter of time so may as well just can it now?

I believe that Charles is now officially already king.

The phrase the King is dead long live the King exists to make sense of the whole concept.

A throne is never empty. The second Elizabeth died, Charles became king.

This threw me back to studying Ionesco at school - "Le roi se meurt! Vive le roi!"
