The palace has a kind of death schedule for King Charles' death so that chaos does not break out in the event of his death.
Since the cancer diagnosis, concern for the monarch has been growing.
London – King Charles (75) has only been on the British throne since May 6, 2023, but his cancer diagnosis, which the monarch dealt with openly, shocked the world.
His prognosis is "good", according to
Dailymail
, and Charles' doctors are "extremely confident" about the king's recovery, they say.
Nevertheless, cancer is a treacherous disease and the question of what will happen in the event of the Regent's death involuntarily comes closer.
King Charles' death roadmap "Operation Menai Bridge" has a very personal connection
The codename tradition was introduced to prevent news of the death from leaking to the press prematurely.
The names are well thought out: The Menai Bridge is the first iron suspension bridge in the world and is located in Anglesey in Wales.
Charles bore the title “Prince of Wales” for most of his life as heir to the throne.
From this you can conclude how early the processes were worked on.
Good preparation is everything: Her Majesty's funeral took place just 11 days after her death on September 19th and millions of people from around the world watched the state funeral at Westminster Abbey and the subsequent funeral service at St. George's Chapel in Windsor Castle to pay their last respects to the Queen.
The code names of the British royals
Prince Philip
– Operation Forth Bridge
Queen Elizabeth
– Operation London Bridge
King Charles
– Operation Menai Bridge
King Charles' death plan is likely to be similar to Operation London Bridge with a few adjustments

Should King Charles close his eyes forever, Operation Menai Bridge will come into force - the plan that takes into account everything that has to happen in this sad hour.
How should the Regent's death be announced to whom?
No institution, from the Church to the British Army, should be left out.
What should be taken into account during official mourning and the state funeral?
No matter how sad the occasion is, it is important to avoid chaos.
The Queen of the Century died in Balmoral, and plans are also being drawn up for Charles' country estates as to how his body will be brought to Great Britain.
The coffin will then be laid out in Westminster Hall in London for several days.
There the family, but also the subjects, can say goodbye.
After twelve days of national mourning, Queen Elizabeth II was farewelled with a funeral service in Westminster Abbey and finally buried in St. George's Chapel at Windsor.
King Charles will one day also find his final resting place in the royal crypt in Windsor after going through the procedure like his mother.
Since the body of the deceased monarch will be laid out for a long time, it must be prepared accordingly beforehand.
How exactly is not known.
However, experts believe that Queen Elizabeth's body was embalmed.
Similarly, Charles' remains may one day be prepared in this way for his final journey.
Then the preparations for the coronation of Prince William (41) begin.
