The fact that no British person under the age of 70 has ever known another monarch is crazy. That has to be 80-90% of the population.
It definitely feels to me like the end of the monarchy, whether officially or not. She was at least a tie back to an era where the monarchy had purpose. But Charles... ha.

From an AP update I received today regarding information and styles for the whole "Royals" category.
With the death of the queen, her son Charles automatically becomes monarch, even though the coronation might not take place for months. It is not known whether he will choose to call himself King Charles III or some other name.
2. Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, the eldest son of Charles and the late Princess Diana. The next three places are held by William's children, in order of their birth:
10. Princess Beatrice, elder daughter of Andrew and his former wife, Sarah Ferguson. Beatrice is married to Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi. She is followed in the line of succession by her daughter:
Prince Philip: The queen's late husband, who died at the age of 99 on April 9, 2021. They married in 1947. On first reference: Prince Philip. On second reference, Philip is acceptable. Stories may note that he also was known as the Duke of Edinburgh.
Prince Charles: Before becoming monarch, Charles was also known as the Prince of Wales. He is 73. His first wife was the late Princess Diana, mother of Princes William and Harry.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: Prince Charles' second wife. They married in 2005 at Windsor Guildhall (not on the castle grounds). She is 74 and will be known as Queen Consort.
Prince William: The elder son of Charles and Diana. William, 39, is next in the line of succession after his father. He is also known as the Duke of Cambridge. William served in the military and worked as a helicopter rescue pilot before concentrating full time on his royal duties.
Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge: The former Kate Middleton is William's wife. They have three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. In stories, AP often refers to Prince William and his wife, Kate. She is 40.
Prince Harry: Harry is the younger son of Charles and Diana. He served in the military for a decade before taking up royal duties. He is 37 and is also known as the Duke of Sussex.
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex: The former American actress Meghan Markle married Prince Harry at Windsor Castle in 2018. In 2020 the couple quit as working senior royals and moved to the United States, where they have a charitable foundation. Meghan is 40. The couple have two children, Archie and Lilibet.

Rolling Stone Kieth Richards has to be the ultimate bracket buster I would think. Also sticks with the British theme.
I had Betty white and Ray liota. The other 2 I would have to back and look.
Give Charles 5 years or so then go to William. You don't want to be the one to replace a legend.
Ah okay, my bad then. Not sure why I’m seeing a political thread though since I’m opted out.
No problem with him. If they had asked me (ha) I would have said they should skip Charles and go straight to William. But he's solely a tabloid Prince - I don't see what the point of the monarchy is anymore, even if it was useful in the past
I don’t know what happened but in order for this to stay outside of the cave it needs to drop it’s political comments moving forward. Hopefully it can be used as a tribute instead.
I like that she calls you "dude" but would be better if it was "Dude" as in The Dude, His Dudeness, Duder, El Duderino...
