There was a thread on here a little while ago about a fascinating article about the whole protocol of everything that happens when she dies.

Didn't he already get the OK for that though?
Please. We'll even give you all of our tea.
We'll throw a party. A Tea Party. In Boston. A Boston Tea Party.

Apparently President Pissbaby was demanding the full treatment, including a ride in the Royal coach with her.

BBC news starts at 6 though? Surely we'll hear soon?

Yea you don't call an emergency 8am meeting at 3 in the morning to discuss Trump's state visit that's been in the works for months.
Trump probably wont even be able to visit London considering he's barred from Westminster and the protests would be way too much for the met to handle.

Royal announcements don't get made til 8am.

Most of the harbor is filled in now, though.
So they would just be tossing it into Southie or something.

As long as it isn't brown tea. Don't want to upset some of the natives.
Wait, barred from Westminster? Details?
Even at that I'm guessing their interactions will all be choreographed and controlled.
She isn't abdicating.

Well not exactly barred (he can still take a tour!), but Bercow won't let him address parliament like other presidents have.
Probably nothing, according to the local press.

The Queen might be pregnant.

Not so long ago, jokes like these could get you beheaded. Times have changed.

Maybe Charles converted to Islam.
The Speaker of the House has seemingly decided to not let him address Parliament.

Queen states "this experiment has failed", announces June general election ballot papers will have option for Queen to take control of country.

As long as it's not Catholicism, he's alright.
In what era did speculating about the Queen's potential pregnancy lead to a beheading? I think in English history beheadings were rare and limited to treason.

Somebody get Ja on the phone. I need to make sense of all this.
Are you kidding me? Ja is still trying to make sense of the Fyre Festival. Ain't nobody got time for this.

I think it would be you losing your head for doubting the ovaries of a God annointed ruler.

The British leaving the EU was the first step of their master plan: reforming The Empire.

If this is true, the whole emergency meeting thing... It is weird that no UK broadcast media is reporting it, not even the shitty ones. Suggests some kind of embargo?

Nah - they can't cancel democracy just because one of the royals kicks the bucket. The government is separate from the monarchy, the monarchy have no power.
I reckon it's going to be a death - but someone shit like that sister - the one who isn't already dead. Anne? Margret? Not sure of the names.

The Monarchy does have some power, over some countries in the commonwealth at least. She at least appoints the Governor General in Australia.

Lmao.
Fucking weirdos.
Yeah. Royal news is incredibly locked down and there's an extensive protocol for deaths.
There's a big article on it here. Good read.

Yeah, she dismissed the Aussie government in the 70s didn't she?
Weird she seems to have more power over other independent nations than over her own. But saying that, I highly doubt that in this day and age she could use any of it.

Nah the American backed governor-general did that cause the gov wanted to close American bases in Australia (deadlock over the budget was the official reason tho), the queen just didn't give a shit.
It was very much a coup.
I don't get where this meme that the queen has little power comes from, she has a massive amount of power but refuses to exercise it because she's much more concerned about the House of Windsor than being an actual ruler.

Technically she is a citizen of all of the countries she rules over. And the crown for each country is a separate institution. So its not that wierd when you think of it via its actual rules. Though from an outsider perspective it is pretty funny.
