For the good of the country they should definitely skip and go straight for WIlliam. His family is gold dust.
But that is not how it works and Charles has patiently waited his turn and will give it a good crack I'm sure.

You'll get your wish as he will be known as George

Huw is on BBC now. Very dark if not quite black tie. Oh dear oh dear, how very sad. 
I may be in the minority but I think Charles will be good for the U.K.

Yep - media not allowed to announce yet.
I'm not sure he will be - Charles III that is.
I thought that because of our previous kings called Charles (the First got his head lopped off and the Second was effectively a flamboyant playboy who spent lots of money) that he was looking for another regnal name. IIRC it was going to be George VII following his grandfather. Yeah. Seemed odd at the time and still seems odd now. But then he is a bit odd!
Whilst certainly not a monarchist I do appreciate the life's service HM has given to the country. It will be a sad day but she has had a great knock.

A friend of a friends wife is an ITV newscaster, they’ve all been told to stop what they are doing and report to the offices. It really doesn’t sound good.

Bit rude (I assume, since your response was asterisked out). Just to be clear, my facetious comment was aimed at the snivelling, cap-doffing, genuflecting attitude of the state media not the Queen who (for a royal, and me being no royalist) I have a fair amount of admiration for. I apologise for my insensitivity though, and will now refrain from making any further comment on this sad day. RIP Queenie, it is certainly the end of an era.

Weren't half the Georges barking mad narcissists, though?

Huw Edwards rolled out on the Beeb.
Black suit and tie.

There's an operational procedure called London Bridge in the event of the worst happening and it does include announcement time protocols IIRC

Yep definitely in minority, I would've thought. I doubt that many people are that excited about him and Camila filling her shoes.

Charles Philip Arthur George Windsor.
Could choose any of those first names when he becomes King.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are also en route to Balmoral.
This is not looking good, it'll be a sad and surreal day when she passes.

Ooh, I fancy another King Arthur! Probably wouldn't suit his character though.
Somewhat pisses on Chelsea impending press conference
My sentiments exactly

I'm trying to think of something upbeat to say, but I'm already wiping the tears away just with the realisation this could be the end of her life.
