    "The passing of Queen Elizabeth II after 70 years on the throne has meant that not just a monarch is gone at the age of 96, but decades of stability and continuity are suddenly gone, too."- CBS News. This quote is very true and lets us really process the fact that Queen Elizebeth has been the Queen for most if not ALL our adult lives and is all we know of the British Monarchy. But now Charles has taken on the role and is now King Charles III and the future of the royal family will be on everyone's mind moving forward. This even is monumental, as we look back at the Queen and forward to the current and future royals to come. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/what-the-jess/support
