Or with other words, is their someone in her family that can begin something with her stuff?
Might it become instead part of a historic collection on her, archived or presented?
Getting back on topic.. now that we know who got the Corgis, let/s speculate on who got the royal camera gear.
More importantly, does King Charles use a Leica?

Let us not forget that the late Queen Elizabeth was also one of us... a keen photographer. Have any of her images ever been released to public view?
A closer look at some of Queen Elizabeth II's favorite cameras
The late Queen Elizabeth II was passionate about photography. These are some of the cameras she was spotted shooting with the most.www.popphoto.com
One of my favorite stories to come from this is that the royal beekeeper having to break the news to the bees. I love this.
The Queen's wishes to be interred are wisely being followed which is much better than the way Roy Rogers handled his beloved horse Trigger and beloved dog Bullet. Both Trigger and Bullet were sent to the taxidermist and came back stuffed [not necessarily figuratively, but possibly literally in the Australian way], mounted and put on display in the Roy Rogers' museum. Using Roy's logic and sensibilities Roy and his wife Dale Evans could have ended up stuffed, mounted and put on display. Fortunately King Charles the Third has not fallen under the sway of Roy Rogers.
Crass sentiment; A new low…
Queen Elizabeth was loved, and held in high esteem by her subjects, why else would they wait in a a line more than two miles long all night in all wethers to pay their respects, and see her lying in state for the last time.
This great lady dedicated her whole adult life to the service of her country, and her subjects.
The new king spoke about the heavy burdens of being king. The only burdens that seem obvious are the need to make formal addresses to conferences such as the one I attended long ago, cutting ribbons for opening shopping malls, and a Christmas message. Perhaps could add being pope of the Anglican Church. But these burdens are accompanied by a very generous allowance.
Perhaps I’m missing something, so perhaps members who are British subjects could fill me in.
"Telling the bees" is an old tradition in Ireland, England and parts of Europe. It was thought that the bees, being members of the family, should be informed of any major events in the family. If not bad luck would follow.
Whether you believe it or not, it's a nice tradition to keep.
They're waiting in line because it's the thing the English excel at. Queue forming is a national past time.
This remark isn't funny, it denigrates the devotion that ordinary people in Britain feel for her late majesty, she was loved and revered by almost everyone.

In high school, my physics teacher was a man who had been born in Germany but emigrated to Canada as a young boy shortly after the end of WWII. One of the things he told us about the difficulty of adapting to his new country was the experience of people queuing for things like a bus. He said he was used to people in Germany rushing to get on first, often at the expense of those not as agile or strong as others.
He quickly came to the realization though that the orderly queues resulted in the bus loading quicker and more efficiently, with the additional benefit of much less stress and fewer injuries for the riders.
Historically, many Canadians share in the tendency to queue.That tendency - to be polite and cooperative in groups - was one I used to benefit from when I worked as a wedding photographer.
I think the lines are a sign of respect and appreciation for a life of service.
I think it's a northern hemisphere tradition, millions of Russians would cue in the snow to pay respect to their beloved leaders.
Here its too hot, would get smelly and start attracting flies.

Geeze, lighten up Francis. You should see what the diehard lefties are saying about HR Liz.
As they say haters will be haters. Ignore them, it takes their power away.
