What can we expect from the royal protocols that need to be followed when Her Royal Majesty Queen Elizabeth II dies?
Today Buckingham Palace has released a statement informing the public that Queen Elizabeth is under medical supervision following advice from her doctors. The Queen's close family has been informed and it's been reported that all her children have arrived at Balmoral to be with her.
As the world's longest-reigning monarch, there's an entire generation of people who have never known life without her. But what will actually happen when she dies? What protocol is followed when a reigning monarch dies?
“The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.”
