@canefan oh, i thought they changed the rules a while back so the sex didn't matter...and for no reason they might want an extra step between andrew and the crown...for now reason
They changed the rule but not retroactive. It was basically prompted by not wanting William to have a girl who was then later superseded by a younger brother (I think, from memory)

Feel a little sad tbh, she was a great lady the epitome of someone who simply did their duty - often at times under the most intense scrutiny one could face. A throwback to the days where people would simply do what was needed to be done without fuss or complaint.
She was grace and class and hard working, right to the end, a remarkable woman.

My old Mum is in tears. This is pretty huge.
Understandably. Role models don't come much bigger for that generation I'd imagine.
Mrs TA was a bit upset, then got the news today that a family friend passed away and has since, as they say "lost it".

A chance that the Bledisloe Cup Test will clash with the funeral. It might not go ahead.
Chance maybe but it is usually about 10 days of mourning before funeral so we should be OK
Followed by another 10 days of mourning

While 96 was getting on in age, that death comes for us all, that there'd been a couple of signs, and that I knew it would overall be a big occasion... I've been a bit surprised at how sad I've felt during the day. I've heard a few others say similar this afternoon too.
