A lot of people started calling Kate Catherine when she married, simply because it's her proper name and more formal.

But we don't call Joe Biden Joseph now that he's President, even though that's the name he was called at his inauguration. Same goes for William Clinton, James Carter, and so on. And no one is going to start calling Liz Truss Elizabeth.

The country owns them not the family.

Some of the jewels are the Queen’s personal property, and I assume will be dispensed according to her will. Many of the jewels, including the “Crown Jewels,” belong to the Crown, so they will be under Charles’s control.

No they don't get dispensed, they get kept in a line - so Camilla can wear them and then Kate.

Interesting - so the Queen doesn't will any of them specifically? Does she have personal property/items she can pass through a will?

She can will her personal jewels as she pleases. The pieces that belong to the Crown stay in the vault.

Yep so Camilla will have first pick and will probably reserve a few for her personal exclusive use (which she already has but may start wearing ones that were reserved for QEII only). Catherine will either get second pick or Charles/Camilla will loan specific ones out to her.

It’s so disrespectful calling the late Queen Elizabeth II by the name of a ship, the QEII. Please stop.

Sorry. Didn’t mean to disrespect. I was going to say the Queen before I realized I’d be talking about a different person I personally wish the press would stop calling Catherine Kate Middleton eleven years after her marriage so I get it…

Why are we supposed to call Kate Catherine?

Well technically we shouldn't call her either. We should call her HRH The Duchess of Cambridge and I guess soon to be HRH The Princess of Wales.

lol nobody’s ever calling Kate all of that.

Yea I get it. Nobody’s going to be calling the the Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge (her new title). I want Charles to invest them ASAP as Prince and Princess of Wales so we can call her Princess Catherine or Princess Kate and be done with it (yes, I know that’s technically incorrect but we did it with Princess Diana and we can do it with Kate).

When she became engage she reverted back to her more formal full name Catherine in preperation for entry into the Royal Family.

I thought Queen Elizabeth II insisted her nick name, Kate, not be used.

Seriously. At most I’d call her the Invisible Duchess.

One could also now call her Duchess of Cornwall and Rothesay.

I think the bruises on her hand might signify she had had an IV inserted for fluids and/or medications, but perhaps was removed prior to meeting with new PM.

I wonder...will they ever disclose her actual cause of death?

Wouldn’t it be the other way around? An American is a descendant of Diana and William?

Frances Ellen Work (October 27, 1857 – January 26, 1947) was an American heiress and socialite. She was a great-grandmother of Diana, Princess of Wales, and her great-great-grandchildren include Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex.

And where were Frances ancestors from? Unless Native American Indian, they probably were from Europe or England.

Frances Ellen Work was still American, not of English nobility or aristocracy.

And this proves why Americans think Africa is one country. Hon, how did Frances get to America? Was she Native American? If not her ancestors immigrated from somewhere else…

Agrre, Diana wouldn’t be descendants of Americans, Americans would be descendants of Diana.

Diana’s great grandmother was an American heiress actually. You can google any of this.

Again, you do realize her ancestry was still the same. The only Natives to America are Native Americans..

It’s loss of circulation and part of the end days.

I remember when my grandfather died. The process started a few days prior to his death. But his hands were starting to get cold like dead peoples hands do. He started to feel dead.

When my grandmother died at 92, she woke up one morning and went to eat breakfast. After breakfast she said she was tired and went back to her room to lie down. She died shortly after.

I’m guessing the Queen went like that. It looks like she was starting to go through the process from the last picture. Maybe she went to bed early last night and never fully woke up. I’m thinking when they tried to wake her this morning - I don’t think she was dead yet - but she was getting there. Not able to wake up, shallow breathing.

To put it in Rebecca from This Is Us terms, she was on the train and walking toward the caboose starting last night. She finally reached the caboose this evening.

Right. When has there not been a Queen? (for us, in modern times).

With the line of succession as it is, it's likely very many of us won't see a Queen of England* in our lifetimes.

And yes, I realize it's all of the UK, etc. but shorthand.

LOL

She'll always be QEII to me.

I also LOLed but then searched and realized the ship wasn't named after Queen E herself (RIP). She did name the ship though when it was re-launched in the 60's! I literally always thought it was named after her. TIL. My mom went on one of the final voyages in 2018.
-NP

Wait - the ship wasn’t named after the Queen? I’ll be!
