The concern in the United Kingdom is maximum after the note issued by Buckingham Palace, communicating that the “concern” for Elizabeth II at this time is maximum. So much so that the entire royal family has moved with her to Balmoral, Scotland. It will be her son Carlos, in his capacity as heir, the one in charge of giving the saddest news to the country.
His advanced age has caused details about the famous London Bridge Operation to be closed in recent years: the ten-day plan that the British Government and Buckingham Palace will follow when Queen Elizabeth II dies. This plan was drawn up in 1960 and has been updated several times with the collaboration of the sovereign herself. The day of the queen’s death is called D-Day.
The newspaper Political agreed in 2021 to the documents that explain the plans to follow. When she dies, the sovereign’s private secretary will communicate the death to the prime minister by telephone. Then the flags in Whitehall will be lowered to half-staff in less than ten minutes and Buckingham Palace will send a statement to the people informing them of the sad news.
At six in the evening, Prince Charles will address the people in a speech, although he will not yet be proclaimed king. The BBC has dropped in the last hours of this Thursday that this will happen at six today.
On day three, the future king will begin his visits to the Scottish, Welsh and Northern Ireland parliaments, as part of the woven plan for his accession to the throne, which has been called Operation Spring Tide. and
When D+10 is reached, the state funeral will take place. The body of Elizabeth II will move, in procession from Buckingham, to the abbey of the Palace of Westminster. Once there, the British people will be able to approach her to watch over her for three days. Her remains will then be laid to rest forever in the King George VI Memorial Chapel at Windsor Castle.
This day will be marked as a “national mourning”, although it will not be declared a public holiday, which means that British bosses will decide whether or not their employees work.
During these ten days the Parliament will not have activity. Nor will publications be made from the social networks of the Royal House, unless they are of urgent content. On the palace website, only a black background will appear with the sad news.
