So it was 1830 rather than 1800 hours in the event.

RIP - a remarkable life.

RIP.

Can't say I have any particular affection for her (even leaving aside my thoughts on monarchy as a concept), but she's undoubtedly been a staple of world politics for so long it's hard to imagine her not being around.

But what name will he take?

It really *should* be Charles III, but who knows.

You know, in the olden days the death of a monarch would automatically trigger a general election. The Conservatives have to be glad this isn't still the case.

I can easily see Starmer demanding one anyways, and threatening repeated votes of no-confidence until he gets one.

1867, Disraeli's Second Reform Act.

Since then, monarchs have died/abdicated in:
1. Jan 1901
2. May 1910
3. Jan 1936
4. Dec 1936
5. Feb 1952
6. Sep 2022

Actual elections that happened around those times:
1: Sep/Oct 1900 (a very short parliament)

2: Jan/Feb 1910 and Dec 1910 (that would make 1910 a fun year)

3 and 4: Nov 1935 (this would be a very short parliament followed by another short parliament)

5: Oct 1951 (yet another very short parliament)

6: Been a while since there was one compared to the last deaths and abdication and it sounds like 2024 will be the next one.

Basically it seems like a lot of monarchs liked to die shortly after an election.

Kind of awkward (as most things with Truss seem to be) considering that video of her in her youth giving her thoughts on the monarchy.

The funny part to me, in a certain way, is having such a green, likely transitory PM in charge of the UK at the time of such a momentous occasion. Similar with Alec Douglas-Home hypothetically commanding King George VI's funeral.

Can anyone tell me *why* Charles should/must go by something else? I really have no clue about British monarchal politics or procedures or protocols, so what's the deal with this? Why can't he just call himself 'King Charles?'

Charles I was a tyrant and Charles II was a womanizer. Plus, wouldn't it be cool to have an actual King Arthur?

I get why he's just going with Charles though, it'd be odd to change your name when you're 73 years old.

Not sure what the problem is then...
