something to watch for is the flag, it has to be lowered shortly after her death
so that might be the trigger before an actual announcement
They just lowered the flag! RIP Queen Elizabeth.

This is almost surreal. She's been a constant in my life for as long as I've lived.

Rest in eternal peace, Your Majesty. You will be forever remembered and dearly missed by all.

So terribly sad. I hope her family was able to get there in time to be with her in her last moments.

Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning British monarch whose rule spanned seven decades, died on Thursday at the age of 96, Buckingham Palace has announced.

Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1952, on the death of her father, King George VI. She oversaw the last throes of the British empire, weathered global upheaval and domestic scandal, and dramatically modernized the monarchy.
She died at Balmoral Castle in Scotland after doctors said they had become concerned about her health on Thursday.
Elizabeth ruled over the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth realms, and became one of the most recognizable women ever to have lived. Her son, Charles, immediately became King upon her death.
