They'll replace her with....<shudder>.....King Charles.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:If Princess Diana was still alive, what would her new role be?
Awkward.
Quoted from KozMckPinball:If Princess Diana was still alive, what would her new role be?
The equivalent to what Prince Philip was before he passed away in 2021. (Prince married to a Queen)
So she'd still be princess but married to a king instead of a prince.
Quite the reign for Queen Elizabeth II - may she rest in peace.
Long live HRM King Charles III! Just like with certain 4-player pinball games/matches, if you wait long enough - you'll eventually get your turn!

I was assuming that Diana would be divorced by now. I guess still a princess is the answer there too.

Lol, well I didn't want to state the obvious. So I just explained the chain of command instead.
Camilla will be the new Queen of England tomorrow, after the ceremony.
The Wife of the King is the Queen, pure and simple.
There really isnt any more to it.

Queen Consort

Still not sure how it works. I think you have to have royal lineage, so one half of a royal couple only can be King or Queen, the other non-royal is Princess or Prince. But I am not sure.

Quoted from ImNotNorm:Yes consort....I forgot. Thanks for the correction.
Queen Consort today, Queen tomorrow after the ceremony.
The wife of the King is Queen, period.
However the husband of the Queen, is not the King...
Been that way for a thousand years or more.

She wouldn't inherit the throne if Charles died. I think that's why she's technically Queen consort.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:She wouldn't inherit the throne if Charles died.
So she would then be the Queen Camilla Queen Step-Mother?
Quoted from jaytrem:So she would then be the Queen Camilla Queen Step-Mother?
The discarded Queen....Consort!!
This is a real loss for the globe and my condolences to all who loved her. I had heard that Charles at some point had decided he would not be king and would pass it down to his oldest boy.
Quoted from Pinstein:I had heard that Charles at some point had decided he would not be king
I thought I had heard that also.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:There's no way Charles is passing this up guys. Lol
Would be like passing up a free Bond LE machine.

This is correct. There is no rule that says you have to have a reigning King and a reigning Queen.
One is sufficient.
Yeah, It'll be Charles. Its like when people win the lottery but say they will keep they're job. Not that he's won a lottey I mean the poor guy just lost his mother but is also being handed the keys to a nation.
The Queen of England also had the title of Queen of Canada, fyi. Her Majesty always had a special thought for Canada, where she stayed during WW2 for her safety. Anyhoo, always took the time to travel and meet with the Commonwealth, always interested and concerned about the state of the world. She literally saw it all. Was truly respected.
All I know is it's like the Super Bowl for my gf and her friends.
I hope she got her fill of the coverage today, as football season starts tonight!
Quoted from Saltimbanco:Canada, where she stayed during WW2 for her safety
This is not altogether true, the King elected that everyone stay in England as a position of solidarity.
Though they did tour Canada in 1939 prior to/during the build up of the war.
Quoted from Pinstein:Yeah, It'll be Charles.
He already is.
"At the moment the Queen died, the throne passed immediately and without ceremony to the heir, Charles, the former Prince of Wales...
He will be known as King Charles III.
That was the first decision of the new king's reign. He could have chosen from any of his four names - Charles Philip Arthur George."
--From a BBC News article titled "Charles is the new king. Here's what happens next.

I think King Arthur would have been cooler...just sayin'

Quoted from KozMckPinball:My mistake, the loonie was discontinued in 2012.
Actually is still being made to this day.
The best was that olympics half time show where they had her parachuting off the plane into the stadium
absolute classic.

She could also throw a hell of a pitch...
This morning when I was at work there was someone talking about breaking news about her family being with her and some vague information. Dang.
Quoted from ImNotNorm:Now all our money in Canada has to change.
There are reports that Stephen Merchant was seen leaving Buckingham Palace this morning with some of his mates.
Quoted from pinballinreno:Camilla will be the new Queen of England tomorrow, after the ceremony.

Noone is calling Camilla queen. The queen’s uncle had to abdicate the thrown to her father for just this reason. He chose a twice divorced actress with common blood.
There was talk that Queen Elizabeth was going to force Charles to abdicate to William because of Camilla, but I guess she softened up in her old age. But again, Camilla”s official title is Queen Consort, and she will never be Queen.
Quoted from LTG:My condolences to all of our English pinball fans here.
LTG : (
She was also the queen of Australia and many other places .
Feels a bit like the world's grandmother has gone .
Quoted from mrclean:RIP....

If only Queen Elizabeth had lived one more week ... she would have known if her favorite James Bond is part of Stern's new game.
