I did wonder about the swap out to barcoded stamps we have going on in the UK. This was going to happen this decade if not today so it seemed a waste to change them only to have to change them again in relatively short order. I haven’t sent mine yet so will wait for an announcement.

The polymer £5 has been around since 2016 so I thought it common sense that the style would continue for the rest of the Queen’s life. Notes on average are redesigned every 10 years, changing the historical figure on them. Normally a new note and the old continue in parallel for around 6 months so that people can spend them naturally rather than having to go to the hassle of changing them.

The mod. team is fully aware that his regnal name will be announced later but does not know how else to refer to him. Hence we will be sticking to 'Charles III' unless and until another name is announced.

Has the regnal name been officially announced yet? I was busy at work and could not follow the news.

Yes. Buckingham Palace has confirmed that Charles will reign as King Charles III.

I hope for a successful reign for the new King. [.....]

Long live the King.

King Charles III is expected to have an audience with the prime minister on Friday. He is also expected to address the nation and the Commonwealth.

The House of Commons will sit at noon on Friday for MPs to pay tribute to the Queen in a session due to last until 10pm. There will also be a rare Saturday sitting where senior MPs will take the oath to King Charles III from 2pm with tributes continuing again until 10pm.

Could someone please kindly go through the details of the Accession Council both in the UK and in some of the realms when applicable? Thank you.

Will a Privy Council to appoint the various ministers be included in his schedule (maybe on Saturday)? I am sure they didn't include it in any of the scripts...

What time is the King's address to the Nation and the Commonwealth expected to be?

The British public complain about the cost of the Monarchy and I expect changes because Her Late Majesty had been refusing to modernise for decades.
It is also alleged that the British will not work and that they emigrate because they were pulled into the Edwardian past by the late Queen's pattern. So, yes, I expect there would be a lot of pressure on Prince Charles to make a lot of changes

I honestly have no clue what you are talking about. 'The British will not work'? 'They emigrate because they were pulled into the Edwardian past by the late Queen's pattern'? What does that even mean? Would you mind explaining yourself more clearly?

I had been expecting the accession council today, but evidently it will be tomorrow (Saturday) due to the announcement being late in the day yesterday.

https://www.itv.com/news/2022-09-09/...-state-funeral

Thursday would traditionally have been D-Day or 'D+0' in the plans for the aftermath of the Queen's death, codenamed London Bridge.

But the announcement came late in the day - at around 6.30pm on Thursday September 8 - meaning plans have been shifted a day to allow the complex arrangements to be put in place, meaning today will be considered D+0.

Saturday, 10 September

The Accession Council meets, traditionally at 10am, at St James's Palace in London to formally proclaim Charles as the new sovereign.

The new king must also visit Scotland,Wales and Northern Ireland within days of his accession.

[CyrilVladisla]

Is there a specific time limit that these visits have to be made?
