Windsor 2,143 Posted December 30, 2016 The one thing I had noted though: the Royal Mint usually release their coin designs in early November. So far they have not been released yet. Which ones do you mean, Windsor? General circulation and commemoratives. As far as I'm aware they are still stamping her head on them, so that's not an issue. But 2017 will see the 65th anniversary of accession and her and the Duke's 70th anniversary which you would expect to feature in the £5 coins...unless you think they may not live to see it (anniversary is in November).

Windsor 2,143 Posted December 30, 2016 In real news, Reuters chats about the succession: http://uk.reuters.com/article/us-lloyd-queen-commentary-idUKKBN14I19H It'll go to Charles. If the royals go down the 'pick and choose' route then they're signing their own metaphorical death warrant. That's the law. It's not an item for ducyssion. Just as the wife of a King is a Queen...not a Princess Consort. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,605 Posted December 30, 2016 The Royal Family have been the subject of fake news by trashy American magazines for years. Whatchu talmbout Windsor? Least American magazines don't love to talk about random mothers-of-three with terminal cancer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RobertMugabe 437 Posted December 30, 2016 Awful Women It's you again... And your point is? I've met people like you before, Jim Morrison, Han Solo, you all the same, trying to put down the black man. Han Solo tried to pin all his issues on lando, in a clear case or black hatred. You are the same. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Windsor 2,143 Posted December 30, 2016 If the Queen dies before the D of E, will the the D of E be known as The King Father? No. Because he has never been a King. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would have thought they would carry on as normal with designs. They don't actually go into circulation until quite a bit later, do they? I don't think I've had any 2016 coins yet, except for a Peter Rabbit 50p which i bought on ebay as I wanted it as a present for somebody's new baby. Oh, and I've got one of the new £2 coins with Britannia on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, and I've got one of the new £2 coins with Britannia on. I agree. But they are normally revealed in November and struck ready for the coming year. Edward VIII coins were struck and dated 1937 and had to be withdrawn after he abdicated in December 1936. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,933 Posted December 30, 2016 If the Queen dies before the D of E, will the the D of E be known as The King Father? No. The only reason the Queen Mother was known as the Queen mother was because she'd been Queen and it's the easiest way to retain the title. She was the Queen Mother, not the Queen's Mother, important distinction. Prince Philip will surely remain Prince Philip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe it was on the local news up here, rumours that they are going to live back in London full time so that George can go to school there as, obviously, the Infants schools up here are all shite..... He will also have to give up his gig with the East Anglia Air ambulance ( based at the QE2 Hospital up't road from me) so....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
