God save the King!
RIP Queen Elizabeth the Second. She passed peacefully at Balmoral Thursday afternoon with most of the immediate family present.
Prince Charles is now King Charles the Third. It took over a year between Elizabeth becoming Queen and her formal coronation, no telling how long it will take for Charles to get his, lots of pomp and circumstance to be organized.
A sad day for the UK.

Charles became King automatically on the death of Elizabeth, but there's lots of things to be done. Info on the process of the transfer of the Crown:

Apparently lots of work behind the scenes to set up a coronation. Who knew crowning a king could be so complicated?! They do want to make sure everything goes exactly to plan, so it does pay to get every detail perfectly rehearsed. My dad, and a few of my friends parents were around before she became queen, but were also not terribly concerned with it as they were living in the depth of the Great Depression and World War 2 and such and had other things to worry about.
