There will be a state funeral on Monday week, that's eight days from when we're talking. It'll be four days lying in state in London. A coffin draped in the royal standard is available for people to file past and show their respect. And then of course, we've had the younger royals meeting up together at Windsor. There were huge crowds at Windsor where they came out of the gates and walked amongst the crowd. The controversial couple have left the royal family's official duties and gone to live in California.
Talking to my parents about events in the UK following the death of The Queen on 9 September, including the media coverage, the proclamation of King Charles III, comments about Charles as King and a discussion of the role of the monarch in the UK’s constitution. Also includes some comments about the new Prime Minister Liz Truss and the future of the UK government over the next 18 months.
