Exactly.
It’s like when President Kennedy was Assassinated in Dallas, in 1963. He mostly likely died instantly that headshot had happened, but he was rushed to hospital and millions of Americans were glued to either radio or their TV sets, this was the era of no internet or social media, they were left dangling for a short period, wondering if their president was going to live. The First Lady, Jackie Kennedy, wanted to ensure the president received his last rites, before his death was announced.
Getting back to our Queen’s passing. Seen a couple of questions asked elsewhere, that why isn’t the Royal Standard flag at half mast, on Buckingham Palace, right now, yet other buildings the Union Jack 🇬🇧, is.
The Royal Standard, always represents the monarch, King Charles III, instantly became King and monarch on his mothers death, so the monarch isn’t dead and is the reason it’s not at half mast. If King Charles, leaves Buckingham Palace, to go to another home, the Union Jack will replace Royal Standard and will then be at half mast.
