Re: Queen Elizabeth II has DIED. R.I.P
I wonder if we'll be told what she passed away from or will we only find out in decades time. The rumours suggest she's been terminally ill for some time.

The state apparatus pretended she was alive for hours, if not days. Us plebs should stay in our lanes.

I've seen claims that she had bone cancer.
If correct, this would explain her mobility problems.

As soon as the broadcasters went into 'Obit mode' I knew that she had passed. , even though they were still talking about her bring very ill.
This was said to have been done to 'ready the nation' for the announcement. I also think it might have been done out of courtesy before all her family were informed or had arrived at her bedside.
The way that the 'In poor health' announcement was phrased is also said to have been a coded message to the BBC who will have been the first broadcaster to have been notified.

I'm not sure if anything could/would be done to those who fail to maintain their allegiance after leaving the forces though.

Nothing about heirs, successors, or indeed just to the crown regardless of the head underneath?
I did chuckle today at the phrase 'Demise of the Crown'.
