Before diving into the details, an American media company, Hollywood Unlocked published a news story saying that the Queen who recently contracted COVID-19, was dead.
The news generated a lot of reactions but has however been debunked by several authorities & publications. However, Jason Lee, the founder of the Hollywood Unlocked stood by the report. “We don’t post lies and I always stand by my sources. Waiting for an official statement from the palace”, he tweeted.

What will happen if the Queen Dies.
Operation London Bridge is a very elaborate and well-laid plan to announce the queen’s death, According to the plan, when the Queen dies, a footman will pin a dark-edged notice to the gates of Buckingham Palace, and the same notice will go up on the palace’s website. The Parliament will meet, and Prime Minister Boris Johnson will address the House of Commons. Flags at government buildings will fly at half-mast, condolence books will be set out for mourners to sign, and gun salutes will take place.
According to Richardo Brooks, a British broadcast Journalist, The @BBC will report it first, after her Private Secretary has advised the British Prime Minister.
Five days after her death, the queen will lie in state for three days, with a state funeral at Westminster Abbey to follow. She will be buried in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle. Her husband, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, died in April 2021 at age 99, and his body will be moved from the Royal Vault in St. George’s to lie beside his wife, in the King George VI Memorial Chapel. Her funeral day will be declared a day of national mourning in the UK, with two minutes of silence observed at midday.
Who will be the Next Monarch of England?
From the moment the queen passes away, her eldest son, Charles, will be king, even before a formal ceremony for his coronation takes place. The same thing happened when the queen’s father, King George VI, died in 1952. Elizabeth and Philip were on a royal tour in Kenya, and she flew back to England as its new queen.
There’s been some controversy about Charles’ wife, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall. Due to Charles admitting that he had an affair with Camilla during his marriage to the much-beloved Diana, Princess of Wales, many Brits were unwilling to consider Camilla as the new Princess of Wales, much less imagine her as queen. But in a recent statement marking her platinum jubilee, Queen Elizabeth II made it clear she wants Camilla to be known as queen consort when Charles takes the throne.
