It’s no secret that the United Kingdom’s monarch,Queen Elizabeth II, is a beloved ruler.
Though she only beat her by 1% in the poll, it is clear her country adores her.
That was shown in full force this summer as the queen celebrated her Platinum Jubilee.
Fans of the matriarch traveled from all over the world to show their support for the 96-year-old icon.
Many are wondering what that day will look like and when changes will occur.
What will happen on the day the queen dies?
Politicoreceived documents that outline just what will go down on the day Queen Elizabeth II dies.
The documents show that the first person that will learn of the queen’s death is the prime minister.
From there, the media will announce her death.
Then, 10 days of scheduled events will unfold leading up to her funeral on the final day.
There is a strict script the government will follow.
Just when will he become king, though?
Nicoletta Gullace, an associate professor of history at the University of New Hampshire, explained the process.
“The code name for Charles’s accession to the throne is Operation Spring Tide.
A coronation ceremony will take place months, or even a year, following Elizabeth’s death.
Is there a chance Prince Charles will not become king when Queen Elizabeth dies?
Rumors are circulating that Prince Charles may not take the throne at all.
“He doesn’t want to do it, such a difficult task.”
However, this is not a common practice and may be difficult to put into action.
According to theUniversity College London’s Constitution Unit, it would have to play out like this.
“That would be a matter for Prince Charles, and for parliament.
Under common law, Prince Charles will automatically become King the moment the Queen dies.
Prince William could only become King if Prince Charles chose to abdicate.
That would require legislation, as happened with the Declaration of Abdication Act 1936.
