Following Queen Elizabeth II‘s recent death, there has been non-stop coverage of her long reign and legacy, her successor King Charles III, and what comes next for the monarchy, which is revered by some, politely ignored by others, and made the subject of many a “wait, why does this still exist” conversation by the remainder.
1.
I don’t know much, but I know that when you see a royal, you’re supposed to bow or curtsy. But do members of the royal family bow and curtsy to each other?
2.

6.
How royal do you have to be to marry a royal?
7.

People seemed to really like Queen Elizabeth II, even people who would otherwise be opposed to a monarchy. But how do the people feel about King Charles III?
9.
And finally: What’s with all the corgis?
