I think the train has sailed on the U.S. having a constitutional monarchy at this point.

Least of all because we'd never be able to pick somebody and agree on that.

Just heard from @Angie

She's at the train station in London, and was when they made the announcement. She said some people are kind of freaking out. There a good deal of sadness. And the portal at platform 9 3/4 doesn't seem to be operational at all.

She needs to give us a full summary of how this goes once she's back.

Not sure why she's there, but coincidentally being in London during an event of such national sorrow and importance like this is going to be a unique experience.

So is Prince Charles King now or is he getting skipped?

I say go right to one of those little kids so they can beat great grandma's 70 year run.

Yep, Charles is now King. Though it is yet to be announced if he will be Charles III or take a different name, potentially George VII.

Justin Bieber? No idea he had that kind of power.

I was recently in Canada and sampled "Bieb's Brew" coffee at one of their nine million Tim Hortons establishments. The guy is keeping it real with designer coffee in his home nation. A grounded celebrity for the Canadian people.

I think he goes with a different name. Charles I was hung for treason, Charles II was thought to have hundreds of children with hundreds of mistresses.

What was the talk about him getting skipped? I know I've heard it before. Was it around the divorce and blew over? Like was this a done deal or chance somebody else was king today?

He’s going with Charles III as that is what PM Truss called him.
