Talk:The king is dead, long live the king!

message: Does anybody have any info on if the phrase was changed to 'The King is dead, long live the Queen!' at the time of her father's death?  Will it be 'The Queen is dead, long live the King!' when she passes? 24.150.226.39 (talk) 15:27, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Likewise, when she passes away, and assuming Charles, William, or another male accedes, will the phrase be "The Queen is dead! Long live the King!" ? (Presumably the same situations would have taken placed upon the death of Henry VIII and of Elizabeth II, respectively.)--达伟 (talk) 04:13, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There doesn't seem any evidence this phrase was officially used in Britain and the Commonwealth, but there were newspaper headlines that said that.--Jack Upland (talk) 02:43, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  No mention of ''Dances with Wolves''? 

message: The article reads:  "the heir to the throne becomes a new monarch immediately on his predecessor's death or abdication" - is that phrasing used upon an abdication? For the previous king isn't really "dead", just his reign is.  What was proclaimed on Edward VIII's abdication (recent enough that it might be recorded) --Canuckguy (talk) 17:57, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The heir *does* become the new monarch immediately following an abdication, but you're right, the proclamation of accession isn't appended with this phrase in such cases. As such, the qualifier doesn't really belong in this article, so I've removed it. GeeJo (t)⁄(c) • 19:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Needless notes?  

message: Not only does it have no citations, it also is mostly about royal succession, not the phrase itself.--Jack Upland (talk) 02:58, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the article has been tagged "citations needed" for almost four years, I think it's time to look at deleting material. We have only four sources: one, the most relevant, is about Denmark; the others are about King Solomon, the League of Nations, and Thailand — hardly relevant for an article focussed on a supposed saying about European succession.--Jack Upland (talk) 08:14, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

message: As an Italian, I have never heard about that "Italian cheer and phrase" being used with this meaning. I am "citation needed"ing that stuff. Fph 18:58, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

message: This seems like a completely pointless addition. Of course you could say "x is dead, long live x", so why come up with a couple of braindead ones? I'm deleting it. Someone justify its existence or make it better. 66.252.193.243 (talk) 09:08, 2 June 2023 (UTC)

message: As recorded in Book of Chronicles [ of the Kings of Judah ] the second half of this was said of him after the coup which restored the rightful monarch. 
2Ch 23:11 - Then they brought out the king’s son [ Joash ] and put the crown on him and gave him the testimony. And they proclaimed him king, and Jehoiada [ the priest ] and his sons anointed him, and they said, “Long live the king.”
