Oh Honey <hugs>! I too am sad about this news. I'm not necessarily a Monarchist, however I do love the history of the British Crown. We are watching history unfold before our eyes.

Having said that, King Charles III is going to take some time to get used to.

I’m sure she didn’t fully understand their actions at the time, but I hoped an advisor explained its sentiment to her later.

LOVE this!

Thank you so very much! After 70 years, we will ALL have to get used to King Charles III!
