The new King Charles III will meet new British Prime Minister Liz Truss at Buckingham Palace.
Operation London Bridge is the not-so-secret plan for the United Kingdom after Queen Elizabeth II dies.
It’s not every day a serving British monarch dies. There has to be a plan. And so, with the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the age of 96 on Thursday, the long-awaited “Operation London Bridge” swung into action. The not-so-secret plan has never officially been released, though versions of it have been leaked several times over the years. It is designed to ensure not only that the news of the queen’s death was broken in a dignified manner and her memory commemorated, but also to ensure the continuation of the royal throne as Britain’s head of state.
