What Will Happen To The Monarchy When King Charles Dies? | Business Insider Explains

[@mkrieger0101]

I don't think the turnout for Charles will be nearly as large as it was for Elizabeth.

I disagree. Charles is very much loved.

[@anitasantos7198]

No way , he don’t deserve any body grieving, almost the whole world still remembers how cruel and despicable he and his mistress Cowmilla were to Princess Diana and to the boys , this 2 are disgrace they didn’t respect their families their spouses and finally the took the mother away from the young princes . This 2 are very cruel and he marry his mistress with no respect to his young sons Charles don’t deserve any respect or grief form the public who remembers what he and his mistress Cowmilla did .

Queen Elizabeth II was Queen "regnant" not queen "regent" They're pronounced differently and have very different meanings.

[@SkepticalChris]

you are so correct, and it is such a blatantly obvious and well known fact that there is a difference between a Queen Regnant and Queen Regent. Rather sad that Business Insider wouldn't know this.

[@iniester6724]

No ones arsed you nerd

[@jrimpau]

Exactly. I came here to say that.

[@RaymondHng]

A queen regnant is a monarch. A queen regent is the adult guardian of a child monarch and rules in their stead until that child comes of age. So, like, if for some reason Prince George finds himself crowned king at the tender age of 9, the queen regent's job would basically be holding the throne for him.

[@JM-The_Curious]

@@RaymondHng Exactly. A Queen regnant is a reigning monarch in her own right, as opposed to a queen consort who is the wife of a King. Both are simply called "Queen".

[@RaymondHng]

4:01 It's _queen regnant_ , not queen regent. A queen regnant is a monarch. A queen regent is the adult guardian of a child monarch and rules in their stead until that child comes of age. So, like, if for some reason Prince George finds himself crowned king at the tender age of 9, the queen regent's job would basically be holding the throne for him.

[@Jabberstax]

A regent is not limited to an adult ruling in place of a child. George IV was regent for the last 10 years of George III's reign.

[@GabrielTorres-rq5bl]

Not always a female regent is a Queen, though. If, say, Prince William dies before King Charles, and the King dies thereafter, then Catherine would remain a Princess, once her husband never ascended to the throne, but would still be entitled to be regent for her son.

[@katherynedarrah4245]

2 issues. 1. At 1:33 you say "the Union Jack will be lowered to half mast" It should be half STAFF. Mast is shipboard terminology. 2. You called Elizabeth II queen Regent. It's Regnant. Queen Regent is a female Head of State temporarily in power for a male monarch unable to take the throne due to age. Queen Regnant is the official title for a female Queen in England.

[@Comic_Saens]

Half staff is unfamiliar terminology is the US, nobody (aside from the military) calls it a staff, but most people know what"half-mast" refers to. And before you tell me that this is the UK we're talking about (duh), Business Insider is an American channel broadcasting to a largely American audience.

I don't want to be a pedant, but there are many casual mistakes in this video. As many earlier comments say; please at least get the flag correct. It's basic British knowledge. Similarly: Regnant/regent. Coronation/crowned. Westminster Abbey/Hall. My personal qualms were "businesses will shut down": No, no they won't. There is a period of mourning, but shops/businesses didn't generally shut down. There are very precise instructions for such occasions and this video doesn't include specific nuance that anyone in Britain will have experienced previously. It feels like an "easy content" video, where research has been half done. Even worse, when we literally went through a similar operation a few years ago (which is even mentioned), yet the video is still wrong. I mean, there are already articles all about the specifics involved. Like the announcements of death; sign on Buckingham gates is correct, half mast flag is correct, but past that, there are official royal correspondents who disperse this information, in a very specific way. I could go on, but will stop this pedantry here.
