What will happen when King Charles dies? This has been a long standing question, even before he became king. However, since becoming king, there are now some complexities which will need to be addressed.
The Queen wasn't flown to London in a private jet. It was the same type of plane used to repatriate British service personal who were killed overseas. When the proposal to use this plane was put to Queen Elizabeth II her reply was 'If it is good enough for our armed forces, it is good enough for me.'
@madabbafan oh yeah. She was an army driver and mechanic in WW2 and participated in battle of Britain in various roles as well as the build up for D Day.
Being able to witness a real royal funeral after the death of HM Queen Elizabeth II was one of the most honorable things I’ve ever witnessed. It was executed flawlessly and truly fitting for a former monarch that literally reigned in two centuries. Sadly I don’t foresee HM Charles III ruling nearly as long as his mother for obvious reasons but I’d say he has an excellent chance of living at least until his 90’s given his family history and assuming he lives as relatively healthy life.
Get over it, there are just humans like me and you they shit like we do there sick at times just like we get shit. It's funny, when people take it too real cry and travel to see them, reaching out to touch them. Bloody stupid
Are you simple? I know he's in in 60s, so would have to live till 130. I'm hoping he doesn't make 70. So we can have another street party for his death.
"I don't foresee HM Charles III ruling nearly as long as his mother" He became King as an aging old man. The Queen took up the throne when she was very young. As such, your statement makes no sense. There is no logical way he could ever rule as long as his mother. lol
Forth Bridge is near Edinburgh, most likely as He was the Duke of Edinburgh . Tay Bridge is in Dundee. Glamis Castle where the Queen Mother was bought up is just outside Dundee. Neither of these bridges are in London contrary to what the narrator said. The other glaring error is Sandringham where the Queen’s Father died isn’t a castle. You produce good videos but please check your facts as the above errors are glaringly obvious.
Indeed, also if we are to refer to HM 70-year long reign, Charles was heir apparent throughout all that period. I would also argue that we cannot name him as heir presumptive not even for those 4 years before his mother's accession - he was always the heir apparent to an heir presumptive (his mother) however by 1948 Elizabeth was already elevated to heir apparent status and considered as such
So really the Bridge names are often relative to areas that were significant to that particular royal. It’ll be interesting to see what the name of William’s plan is considering his longtime status as Duke of Cambridge, but now his role as Prince of Wales.
@@terminallumbago6465 Yes, Elizabeth was always officially the heir presumptive however she was in all but name treated as heir apparent starting in her teens when she began taking lessons in constitution and The King and Queen did not try for another child
When King Charles dies? Prince William becomes king. There. I answered it for you. The reign of the new monarch begins as soon as the previous monarch dies.
@@jstringfellow1961why would they??, look how the MP are handling the country now… and they don’t even have full control of the country. Imagine if the UK was a republic, and the MP’s had FULL control of the country… our country would be with the dogs 😂
Well his father lived to 99 and his mother 96 and his grandmother over 100 so given that he lives a relatively healthy life style l think he will live at least another 20 years.
I think so too. Because both of his parents lived long lives. And so did his grandma and great-grandma. All lived long lives. His grandfather, great-grandfather, and aunt probably did not live long because of their unhealthy lifestyles, with alcohol consumption and heavy smoking being the cause of their deaths. If longevity is somehow related to genetics, I think he still has a few decades left in his life.
@johncollins7062 well, there are some researches about that. It is estimated that about 25% of the variation in human life span is determined by genetics. But to be noted, it again depends on how one spends one's life and chooses what kind of lifestyles to go with
"Dowager Queen" does not mean "former Queen", it means a widow of a King who was granted the title of Queen upon her marriage. Of course, all Dowager Queens are former Queens of the United Kingdom, but since they continue to be addressed as "Her Majesty", and retain royal status, they still are Queens.
@@paulwild3676 She may not be your Queen, but she surely does good work. What Queen would you want? Diana, Princess of Wales, who had more sex with man married or not while being married than her fingers and toes could count?
@@MichaelJohnson-vi6eh Yes, there's an amusing scene in "The Crown" season 1 in which Queen Mary explains the situation of the three Queens, as there were at that time (herself, the Queen Mother, and Elizabeth II) to her nurse.
Actually Queen Mary of Teck was the last Dowager Queen of the UK. Queen Mary was the wife of King George V, mother of King Edward VIII and King George VI, and grandmother of Queen Elizabeth II. Despite being alive during the reigns of her sons, she was never known as the Queen Mother, but just as the Dowager Queen Mary. Dowager just means widowed, which is why Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother wanted to be known as the Queen Mother, because she felt that the Dowager title sounds old, and she was actually quite young when she was widowed.
Bs, she was called the Queen Mother because she has the same name as her daughter so it would've been confusing calling/referring to them both as Queen Elizabeth
@@fitmale No. HM the Dowager Queen Elizabeth would’ve differentiate with HM Queen Elizabeth II, who would’ve just been called HM the Queen anyways. The Queen Mother was meant to be called the Dowager Queen Elizabeth, but she felt it was for older ladies, and she was quite young upon her husband’s death and daughter’s accession. So instead of being called HM the Dowager Queen Elizabeth, she decided that she instead wanted to be called HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother.
When the king dies, the consort is automatically Dowager Queen. Both Mary of Teck and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon were Dowager Queen. Both were Queen Mother, though Teck never used the title. If Charles passes before Camilla, she will be Dowager, with all benefits befitting the station. If something were to happen to William right now, Princess Catherine would retain her titles except Princess of Wales, and would be styled Dowager Dutchess of Cornwall or Cambridge. Her son would be next Prince of Wales. All at the pleasure of the King.
Actually it was so she wasn’t confused with her daughter as Queen Regnant as both were “Queen Elizabeth” having the same christian name. Queens Mary & Alexandra weren’t known as “queens dowager” or “queen mother” either, just by their christian names retaining the title of queen as a prefix. They were technically both queens dowager & queen mother but the title was never used for either.
@@twobearshomestead Not so. If Prince William were to predecease the King, Catherine would retain her title & status as Catherine, Princess of Wales. Technically she would be the Dowager Princess of Wales but such titles aren’t used today in the U.K. anyway. In widowhood (or divorce) the christian name prefaces the title with only “The” which is only used for the current title holder. So if George married before he succeeds his wife would be The Princess of Wales (assuming the King has created him Prince of Wales - it’s not automatic). Catherine would not use or be known by her previous titles either as the senior title (PoW) takes precedence over all others. Technically she would retain the Scottish titles of the PoW with her name preceding the title when in Scotland. Most of this is academic but verifiable however the makers of this video didn’t bother to check - clearly preferring to speculate or conflate the limited knowledge they have.
I’m not a strong monarchist (not a Republican either) or partIcularly interested in the Royal Family But I wholeheartedly Loved Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth for her work ethic, dedication, resilience, and quiet dignity, even in the most distressing circumstances as when she had to sit alone at her beloved husbands funeral. She was just a remarkable, inspirational, wonderful human being and I still miss her a lot too x
@@lordleonusa Indeed! She chose to do so to set an example to the country. To show that even the Monarch was not above the Covid Laws and Rules at that time. Shame that the same cannot be said for many in Government
@@MrsRavenclaw He has a Herculean task ahead to achieve the standards and greatness of his blessed Mother. I feel personally that I owe her the duty of allowing him time, the benefit of doubt and optimistic hope, that he will make he proud in the coming years. Purely based on her love for him and my great love and admiration of Her Majesty. I respect the right of others to differ and view it otherwise xx
4:45 "Private Jet" ? QEII was not flown in a private jet ? She left Scotland in a military cargo transport. In fact I heard when she planned for a scenario if she died outside England. Of course that is exactly what happened ! She said "If it is good for my troops , (To be in a transport military plane) it is good enough for me " What a super class act the late Queen was ! ! !
6:28 FACT CHECK: The title Dowager Queen was actually last used when William IV passed away in 1837. As he was Uncle to his successor, Queen Victoria, his Wife, Queen Adelaide was her aunt. Therefore upon the death of her husband she became known as the Queen Dowager
@@saffronjay3903So was her mother. The title of "Queen Mother" was used because both used the same first name. Because queens regnant are so rare, the modifiers to the title of queen are very rarely used.
@roberthudson1959 the Queen mother has only ever been used once for the late Queens mother because we already had a Dowager Queen and she herself asked to be known as the Queen Mother. The Normal Titel is Queen Dowager. It has nothing to do with if there is a King or Queen on the thrown. So we know who is the Queen Consort or the consort of the previous monarch.
Strictly speaking, he was heir presumptive to the heir presumptive until his grandfather died, then heir apparent thereafter. While there was essentially no chance at all that his grandparents would have a male child by the time Charles was born, that theoretical chance still existed, so it couldn't be said categorically that his mother would become queen until she did.
@@TheJTMcDaniel Queen Elizabeth - later the Queen Mother - needed to have a pregnancy test before her older daughter could be proclaimed Queen Elizabeth the Second.
even if he dies at 85, I believe Lilibet is 2 or 3 right now, meaning she'd be about 12-13 at that time. Her 2nd cousin James Mountbatten-Windsor stood in vigil for his grandmother at age 14. Lilibet would be old enough to stand vigil for King Charles.
@@BeckyAnn6879 Wouldn't ARCHIE be the one to stand as well? Why is the focus on Lilibet, who was born in the US? And would Prince Harry even want his children to do so?
@@joan-mariacbrooksBecause as of right now, Lilibet is the youngest grandchild of King Charles, just as James Mountbatten-Windsor is the youngest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth. I was focusing on the YOUNGEST grandchild of the reigning monarch. I'm not sure what Prince Harry would want his children to do... Honestly, I think a LOT of the decisions Prince Harry will need to make regarding the children will depend on if he's still with Meghan or not. If he is, I don't think either child will stand vigil for King Charles' casket.
Just like to point out some of the obvious errors in this video. It’s Sandringham House (not castle); Both Tay & Forth bridges are in Scotland not London. Only QEII’s plan was named after a bridge in London; A State Funeral is always held for every Sovereign so, (just as last year) the funeral service will be in Westminster Abbey in London followed by a private interment at Windsor after & the committal service in St George’s Chapel, Windsor; Primogeniture is the system used by most: all other European monarchies & hereditary systems in the western world. It’s also used as the basis of inheritance law in most legal systems. So does it need to be explained to us? Would viewers expect their uncles & aunts to inherit their patents’ estate (or titles) instead of them? Parent to child decent & inheritance is the norm for most societies; In the U.K., Parliament controls the Succession & has Regency Acts to cover what would happen if a child inherited the Throne. Catherine’s position is consistent with that of the late P Philip under the 1953 Act - acting as regent for his/her infant son, as the remaining parent & (former) Consort of the monarch. So it’s nothing to do with their length of service but family connection with the child. There is no way P Harry would ever be regent or “take the throne” (unless those ahead of him) were dead or abdicated. Virtually impossible, I’d say? Apologies to any Sussex Squaddies watching, expecting something else! The Queen will be known as “Queen Camilla” in widowhood. Just as were queens Alexandra & Mary (also both the mothers of the next sovereign). No other title is used now or needed. The late Queen Mother only adopted that title because she had the same Christian name as her daughter. So it would have been confusing to have two senior royals called “Queen Elizabeth”. All widows of kings are queens dowager technically but not called that in modern times. The last example was Queen Alidade in 1837. Given this is all on public record perhaps a little more research would help not to confuse the audience? Speculation based on known facts is rather more convincing perhaps if it avoids embarrassingly obvious errors?
You are almost right. if chuckles and William were to die tomorrow, yes, George becomes King. Because he’s 10, a regent has to be appointed. By everything I’ve seen/heard/read, that would be his uncle. As he has spent so much of his time since May 19, 2018 trashing his family, i suspect Parliament will not allow him to step into that role. I rather hope they’d look to either his father’s aunt Anne or Uncle Edward.
@@Quaker-tc8ue There’s no modern president for a child regency in the U.K. monarchy. In Scotland (before the Union of Crowns) it was often the mother or queen dowager who acted as regent. In England a regency council would be most likely although the presidents of Edward V & Edward VI aren’t good ones. Most recently the Regency Act of 1953 appointed the late Duke of Edinburgh as regent for his infant son if the Queen had died, not Princess Margaret or even the Duke of Gloucester (Kent then still being a minor himself) so I doubt H would figure as the obvious candidate for P George. Add in his living abroad, effectively leaving the royal family, his behaviour & conduct over the last few years & I’d say he has no chance at all of even being considered. You are correct the Parliament (in reality the Government) would have the final say as it has to pass the legislation but the wishes of the RF & William & Catherine in particular would carry most sway. I’m sure PW has very strong views on this matter & who he wants & who not. Don’t you? 🤔
@@Quaker-tc8ue irrespective of spelling facts remain facts inconvenient as they may be for your belief that H has any chance of ever being considered as a potential regent. You have no basis for this except your wish to believe it. The facts & recent history show this to be so. Obfuscation doesn’t help your argument nor do personal attacks but show you have no serious argument to make. Nor do I need lessons in history or law from you thank you.

@@TheRadioknightcorrect! the london bridge goes with the london tower and the london eye, its a beautiful trio and i recommend that anyone in london experiences them all :D
Re: camilla, there have been 3 dowager queens since 1900. It's not a new thing. Just like queens Mary and Alexandra, camilla will simply be called queen camilla, it being understood that she is the dowager rather than the consort. The whole "queen mother" thing isn't even a real title. It was just a convenient way to differentiate two queens of the same name.
I was thinking the same thing. Heir presumptive the was the queens title when her father was king because she was a female. So if her father and mother would had a boy at a later time he would have replaced her as heir. When queen's uncle Edward was king her fatherwas heir presumptive due to that fact that he wasn't Edward's direct heir and if his brother did marry a person approved by parliament and they had kids Edward's children would have been taken the title of heir. When Elizabeth became queen Charles became heir apparent since he was the oldest male heir to the queen. When Charles became king William became heir apparent. When William became king his son George will be heir apparent
@@jenniferspencer1802 Do you know if the term "heir presumptive" for the first in line will now be obsolete, now that the law has changed to absolute primogeniture instead of male-preference primogeniture?
I wouldn't exactly say i was astonished to hear she died, i mean she was well into her 90s. I was just sad really as she seemed to be immortal the way she just kept on going
A somewhat superfluous question . On the death of King Charles, his heir , which in this instance is Prince William , immediately succeeds to the Throne. As you seem to know. So why pose the question?
No. The public was informed of what would happen when queen elizabeth died long before she did. It’s not a private affair when something like that happens, it affects not just the uk as a nation but international affairs as well.
No one heard that "she was about to die." The closest was "Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral."
When I was a teenager, Charles was my favourite member of the RF for one reason only. I was,and still am an environmentalist, was raised to grow my own organic veg & fruit (even in pots in student digs), care deeply about the countryside, ocean, climate and dwindling resources, habitats and species. Charles was the one whose values I could relate to in those respects completely 25 years ago, even when it wasn’t popular or “cool” to do so. That’s why I’m glad and sorry he’s king. Glad because I really like & relate to his values & ethics. Sorry because as King he will not be as free to talk about them.
When the queen died it wasn’t operation London Bridge that happened it was operation unicorn which happens when the Queen died in Scotland. Scotland and England have two different operations due to ceremonial standards
Tay Bridge is in Dundee, Tayside, Scotland. Forth Bridge is over the Firth between Edinburgh and Fife. I've only watched part of your video and you said these are named after bridges in London. That is incorrect
The "operations" have not all been named after bridges in London as you suggest. Tay Bridge is in Dundee, Scotland and Forth Bridge is in Edinburgh, Scotland (for the man who was the Duke of Edinburgh...)
They are not bridges in London. Forth Bridge, crosses the Firth of Forth next to Edinburgh for the Duke of Edinburgh. Tay Bridge crossing Dundee and Fife was for the Queen Mother who opened the Bridge and who was brought up in Glamis Castle in the River Tay catchment.
I did hear years ago, when the Queen was still alive that William could have been King instead of Charles. I don't know if this was exactly true or just a rumour because of Charles' age and the fact he won't be King for very long.
Oh, and Sandringham isn't a castle, it's just a House. Also, the Vigils of the children and grandchildren of the late Queen during her lying in state were for 20 minutes, not 10.
The Tay Bridge and the Forth Bridge are both in SCOTLAND because of Queen Mother being of Scottish origin and Prince Phillip being the Duke of Edinburgh
The Tay Bridge is NOT in London, it is in Dundee, Scotland. The Queen Mother is from Glamis Castle near Forfar in Angus Scotland. I grew up in Angus Scotland so trust me I know what I'm talking about 😂
Tay and Forth bridge are both in Scotland, not London. Tay Bridge is in Dundee. Glamis Castle where the Queen Mother was bought up is just outside Dundee. Forth Bridge is near Edinburgh. Prince Philip was Duke of Edinburgh.
Queen Elizabeth the day before she died: This woman will live forever! King Charles not even king for a year: What’ll we do when this guy bites it? Edit: Well cancer’s a bitch…
Something worth mentioning: in the event of King Charles' death, its like that two sporting events may either be canceled outright or postponed: Championship weekend at Wimbledon and the British Grand Prix at Silverstone.
Diana would of made the "Perfect Queen", King Charles should of kept his marriage vows and thought of the people not just his wants, he's got big shoes to fill.
@johncollins7062 I agree .Diana did not have all the advantages Catherine has had namely family support , excellent education and a great deal of natural intelligence . William clearly respects his wife and she in turn supports him with the projects that are close to his heart .
If any human being would of been treated the way Charles had treated Diana, they'd go mad too, by the way, she wasn't "mad", she was only human and pushed to the brink, yes she was an asset, she truly was, all the flowers that had been placed in memory spoke for the people, Charles blew it big time, they won't accept Camilla and she doesn't even come close, Rest in Peace our beautiful English Rose*🌹**
It wont be a Private Jet the transports the late King back to London it will be an RAF Aircraft like the one that flew his Mother Queen Elizabet ii back from Scotland.
think you will find The Tay is NOT in London, The Tay Bridge carries the railway across the Firth of Tay in Scotland between Dundee and the suburb of Wormit in Fife.
I noticed one probable mistake. If there was need for a regency for a young King George, yes his mother would be a regent, but there would probably be a regency council made up of the Queen Mother (Catherine) and some of his paternal family members.
William's wife would make a fantastic Queen Mother to her son George. She took on the role as HRH very well. She's no fool to anyone. She's made her own in this special family. God save the KING and Queen.
Erm, that’s not how a Queen Mother works. Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother was given the curtesy title of “Queen Mother’ to distinguish her from her daughter, the Queen.
Several factual inaccuracies… Sandringham is a House, not a castle. A basic google search would afford you this knowledge. The bridges are not all in London, Tay and Forth are in Scotland
