Prince Charles is set to take the throne. Here's what happens next.

Queen Elizabeth II has reportedly passed away. Details inside.

Okay - I love the Olympics and I've been watching! But I have to admit - the opening ceremonies last Friday just sucked! But there was one redeeming part - the new James Bond girl - the Queen of England.
