Queen Elizabeth II has reigned for 67 years since the death of her father on February 6, 1952.
She’s the longest-reigning monarch in British history.
Now 93 years old, the Royal Family has to face a hard truth: that someday soon, the Queen will die.
When she does, Buckingham Palace will begin operation ‘London Bridge,’ a plan which has reportedly been in place since the 1960s and updated several times per year since.
It’s typical for code names to be used in an effort to avoid alerting the public before other procedures have been set in motion. According to an article in The Guardian, George VI’s death was called ‘Hyde Park Corner.’ When the Queen dies, it will reportedly be announced that ‘London Bridge is down.’
Royal historian Carolyn Harris can’t verify the Queen’s code name, but she is certain Buckingham Palace will be ready — whether the Queen dies today or in 10 years.
