Operation Menai Bridge or Menai Bridge: This will be the protocol when Carlos III dies, what will happen to Queen Camila when the King dies?

Against all odds, this morning the world witnessed the coronation of King Carlos III and his wife, the current Queen Camila. And although the United Kingdom has not experienced a similar ceremony for 70 years, since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Operation Menai Bridge has been implemented, the protocol that will be in charge of the death of the current monarch.

Despite the fact that Carlos III was only crowned today, the constant question asked by members of the royal houses is what will happen when the current king dies? Although it sounds hasty to talk about this topic, the monarchy has close ties with the death of each of its members.

“Unfortunately, the planning for Operation Menai Bridge will start tomorrow morning,” Simon Morgan, a former royal protection officer, told Channel 9 last year. news of australia. This protocol will be very similar to London Bridge which was followed by the death of Elizabeth II.

What is this name for? Operation London Bridge was created in the 1960s, just a few years after the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. As the years passed, the plan was revised several times, and the details were not leaked until 2022.

The operation was named after the world’s first iron suspension bridge in Anglesey, which is located in Wales.

Code names for royal deaths were introduced to prevent news of the monarch’s death from leaking to the press, before an official announcement, although they are now public knowledge.

The funeral organization for the Queen Mother was called Operation Tay Bridge, and their plans had been in the making for 22 years when she passed away, aged 101, in 2022.

William to the throne

As soon as his father dies, William, the current Prince of Wales, will become king and leader of the Commonwealth. It won’t be long before he is officially proclaimed king.

As happened with Carlos III, Guillermo will be able to choose a new name when he becomes king, although his preferences on the matter are not yet known.

Likewise, Kate Middleton will gain a new rank in the monarchy as Queen Consort, a title Camila held until before her coronation. Given the new role, it is possible that she will adopt the name Queen Catherine and replace the abbreviation of her name.

These changes will also alter the line of succession to the British monarchy. Prince George will take the first place to ascend to the crown. If he had descendants of his own by then, the line would continue through his children, not his sister Charlotte.

Princess Charlotte, currently third in the line of succession, could become Princess of Wales if, by the time her father ascends the throne, her brother George is childless. But if he is already married, this title would go to his wife.

Camilla queen of limbs

If the current queen outlives her husband, King Carlos III, her position within the monarchy would also change. Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British royals, will no longer be his home and he must leave it to William and Catherine to occupy.

Besides, she would become Queen Dowager; this denomination would be because, since she is not the mother of the future king, she cannot be called the queen mother (as happened to the ancestor of Queen Elizabeth II). It is also unknown what the exact protocol should be, as this will be the first time a second wife of a king has faced this situation.
