What Happens When The Queen Dies | Vanity Fair
After nearly 66 years on the throne, Queen Elizabeth II is the longest reigning monarch in British history and has been a constant and calming force amidst the fast-paced changes their country has faced, making it even more inconceivable to think about what happens when she dies. Since Buckingham Palace doesn’t shy away from procedure, it's no surprise there’s already a comprehensive plan in place for what happens after she passes, known as Operation London Bridge. On the day Queen Elizabeth II dies, her death will elicit a comprehensive plan that has been in place since the 1960s. What will happen when Her Majesty's reign comes to an end and how will Britain mourn the loss? Here is what we know so far.

But she’s just not dying she’s immortal.
If you ever feel useless, just remember that theres a video about what'll happen if an immortal person dies
I like to think that even an immortal will die, but the queens existence brings me back to reality
I started to google that video then I realised -
I thought I'd grow old to see william as king, guess will never happen.

Your not the only one with the media putting out fake stories sometimes R.I.P queen Elizabeth the second
I woke up and scrolled on reddit to find out that the queen died, I'm still shocked that she died, it was like she was immortal. Rest in peace, Queen Elizabeth II.

In Retrospect, Operation London Bridge was executed as fine and dignified as possible. No scandal, no outbursts. Probably the single most memorable event of the century in British History.
Have you seen Twitter?
it’s crazy that I used to watch this video in 8th grade and now in college after her passing seeing this I remembered this video
Citizens “LONG LIVE THE QUEEN” The queen: *and so I took that literally*
Literally *
Lol
HAHAHHA
Citizens “ THE QUEENS IS GOING TO DIE” The queen: *and so I took that personally*
Oh no, we are actually putting spells on her which grant immortality. It must be repeated to keep its effect.
I’ve always wondered why the british are so good at chess, but now i know. The queen never dies.

Ok ok that is really a good one
It is sadly to say, the Queen died last 8th of Sept. 2022 0:07 - She passes world leaders between 1952 to her death in 2022: 15 UK Prime Ministers (W. Churchill to L. Truss) 14 US Presidents (H. Truman to J. Biden) 12 French Presidents (V. Auriol to E. Macron) 10 German Chancellors (K. Adenauer to O. Scholz) 2 Spanish Monarchs (Juan Carlos I to Felipe VI) 4 Russian Presidents (B. Yeltsin to V. Putin) 11 Italian Presidents (L. Einaudi to S. Mattarella) 7 Catholic Popes (Pius XII to Francis) 5 Chinese Presidents (L. Xiannian to X. Jinping) 3 Japanese Emperors (Hirohito to Naruhito) 32 Japanese Prime Ministers (S. Yoshida to F. Kishida) 22 South Korean Presidents (R. Syng-man to Y. Suk-yeol) 12 Philippine Presidents (E. Quirino to F. Marcos, Jr.) 7 Indonesian Presidents (Sukarno to J. Widodo) 2 Thai Monarchs (B. Adulyadej to Vajiralongkorn) 36 Thai Prime Ministers (P. Phibunsongkhram to P. Wongsuwan) 8 Singaporean Presidents (Y. Ishak to H. Yacob) 3 Singaporean Prime Ministers (L. Kuan Yew to L. Hsien Loong) 13 Canadian Prime Ministers (L. St. Laurentis to J. Trudeau) 17 Australian Prime Ministers (S.R. Menzies to A. Albanese) 18 NZ Prime Ministers (S. Holland to J. Ardern) 18 Indian Presidents (R. Prasad to D. Murmu) 7 Saudi Monarchs (Abdul Aziz to Salman) 3 Jordanian Monarchs (Talal to Abdullah II) 10 Turkish Presidents (C. Bayar to R. Erdogan) 3:43 - Scenario 3. The Queen died in Balmoral Castle in Scotland. 2:00/5:50 - It is TRUE. Charles became King Charles III. In the line of succession, his eldest son Prince William the future King William V and the King's grandson Prince George the future King George VII. If Diana is still alive and they won't got divorce between her and Charles, she should became Queen Consort with the royal title of Queen Diana.
3 North Korean Leaders (Kim Il Sung to Kim Jong Un) 8 Malaysian Prime Minister (Tunku Abdul Rahman to Ismail Sabri Yaakob) (Mahathir is 4th and 7th)
Charles would still have married Camilla because they always loved each other
It hurted me when the queen passed But the scenario 3 was VERY accurate cause that's what literally happened, The queen will be in history and never be forgotten
The title should be: What Happens IF The Queen Dies.
hahahahhahahaaaa

He essentially becomes King Edward VII, who waited decades for Victoria to die, only to reign for 9 years before he himself died.
I honestly believe Queen Elizabeth is trying to outlive her son prince Charles.
hopefully she does
Also, Charles is already looking old so, I don't think he's fit to be in the throne anymore. Better be William.

Here
I’m convinced she’s waiting until Charles dies before her so that William will become king
I agree. Charles seems unhinged to become a king
Yupp
Fck Charles man
Charles is already too old and even he looks way older than his mom. Also, he broke Diana's heart and presumably responsible for her death. He married Camilla, a so called his "true love" and Camilla is a divorce woman. Remember how Edward VIII can't be in the throne because he married a divorce woman? Charles will have the same faith like him, maybe.

Daniel Iskandar im an American, but I don’t get the hate that Charles gets. I don’t see how William would be a better king, unless it’s a morale thing or something.
J Dizzle American also. He did Diana dirty and I do not want to see cowmilla anywhere near the throne with him.
Clayton Chan I get that he cheated on her. But he cheated with the woman he obviously loved and has loved his entire life. It wasn’t ideal for him to cheat on her and I’m not excusing that, but you shouldn’t be upset at two people who love each other and continue to love each other into their 70’s.

She’ll be Queen consort because it’s by marriage, not bloodline. Although she doesn’t deserve a Queen type title at all for being a cheating adulterous sl**t in her younger years. I still believe her and Charles are the reason Princess Diana is dead.
@@SuperStupidWorld Princess Diana was assassinated by the royal family and the car crash was a cover to make it look like an accident, and you cannot tell me otherwise
It's shady because it put forth the fact that she will be queen and then takes it right back. It's like telling someone they're pretty... for a blonde guy. She won't be queen. At best, she will be Queen consort. Otherwise she'll just be a Princess.
