Stunned. She has been the one constant in this world for the last 70 years. No matter what you think of the monarchy, she will be missed.

It will be Charles III for the new King.

I’ll admit I was kinda hoping he’d choose Arthur.

But then if he was Arthur and not Arthur II it would mean the state publicly having to disavow knowledge of the previous existence of Camelot :)
