An excellent and heartfelt speech by Charles I thought. And I am glad he expressed his love for Harry and Meghan. It is time for reconciliation on both sides, otherwise the deep rift will continue.

The giving to William of his long-held title of Prince of Wales so swiftly was a great surprise. Very different to Edward VII and George Duke of York! It will be difficult for some as Diana was a great Prss of Wales and her spirit still lingers in the hearts and minds of Britons and countless others elsewhere in the world. However, congratulations to the new Prince and Princess of Wales!

The approximate date has obviously been discussed already but not yet announced. Modern Coronations are usually held in the warmer months in order to attract millions of tourists. I think it will be held next year, (historically in more modern times there seems to have been a gap of over a year between death of monarch, installation of the next, but I think 2024 is miles too long to wait this time.) So I?m predicting an August or perhaps September date for 2023.

So Robert Jobson, an RR and one of those innumerable ?royal experts? talking heads that have sprung up like mushrooms in an autumn wood, thinks that Charles may have one of the shortest reigns ever. Well, whatever his so-called expertise on the royals, methinks that Jobson ought to take a course in history.

A few examples here

Lady Jane Grey, Edward 5th, Richard III are just three that come immediately to mind.

In more modern times William IV reigned for a brief seven years, Edward VIII lasted from January to December 1936 before abdicating, even the Queen?s father, a delicate man, had only 14 full years on the Throne before succumbing to cancer.

Charles has no health problems, lives a healthy lifestyle with the exception of being a workaholic, and had two parents who lived within hailing distance of their century, not to mention a grandmother who lived beyond it. Really some of these ?experts? just write and speak for the sake of it.

TLLK

Poor little Jane, Edward V and little Richard DoY who were sadly pawns in a deadly game. While Charles is the oldest person to ascend to the throne, I do believe that he'll have more years than those monarchs mentioned in your post @Curryong .

The Queen's cousins, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent and Prince Michael of Kent were present today at St. James Palace.

The Duke of Kent, Prince Michael and the Duke & Duchess of Gloucester come together to mourn The Queen ? Royal Central

Quotehe Duke of Kent, one of Queen Elizabeth II?s closest relatives, looked sombre as he sat at St. James?s Palace, London waiting for the Garter King of Arms to appear on the balcony overlooking Friary Court to make the official proclamation.

At his side was the Duchess of Gloucester who seemed to lean in and offer him some words of comfort. The Duke of Kent?s younger brother, Prince Michael of Kent, was also present.

The three took their places discreetly at the side of the ceremony. In the main square were military as well as 800 people invited in to watch the historic announcement.

The Queen had the support of her first cousins Edward, Richard, Alexandra and Michael along with their spouses for several decades. They gave up military and civil careers to become her supporters during the years when her own children Charles, Anne, Andrew and Edward were too young to perform royal duties. They've carried out hundreds of domestic and overseas engagements and tours on behalf of the monarch and nation.

I do have to wonder what the future will hold for them. Edward and Alexandra are in their eighties and have had significant health issues over the years so it's possible that they will announce their retirement now that their cousin Elizabeth's reign has ended. I believe that the Gloucesters might remain for a little longer but it's also possible that they'll choose to retire as well. However I wouldn't be surprised if the late Queen's cousins continue to work with their patronages.

The line of succession has been updated to Charles as sovereign and the new titles for William, Catherine and family.

I think the Duke of Kent hinted at some sort of retirement a couple of years ago when, in answer to a question, he answered (by memory) that while the Queen continued on then so he felt should he. He is now 87 I think and his sister Alexandra is not much younger, so, without rushing, I think we may well see retirement for them both in the coming months. As you?ve mentioned, TLLK, they?ve both had significant health issues in recent years.



Princess Cassandra

The Queen Consort looked less sturdy than usual, which is not surprising given her age and probable lack of sleep. With osteoarthritis one is stiff after sitting or driving for any length of time, and the same probably applies when standing still for a while, which she did all morning.  She is a fan of long walks and does fitness exercises, so hopefully there is no need to be concerned.

In the coming months I wonder if we'll see changes for the Wessex family-to the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and James becoming Earl of Wessex.
