I've made a number of bets over the years about whether the UK was going to take Charles being King calmly and whether it might have an effect on the legitimacy of the monarchy. Time to see what happens.
As a logistics geek I've read up on the London Bridge is Down protocol. Despite many 'Queen is secretly dead' freak outs on social media over the past few years, last night as I was going to bed was the first time I saw the actual death protocols actually possibly going into effect, so I wasn't surprised by the news this morning. I was a bit tempted to stay up and watch... but also I walked 8 or 9 miles yesterday so I faceplanted.
