Operation Menai Bridge
Much like the 10-day plan that outlined operations related to the queen’s death, the king has one of his own, codenamed Operation Menai Bridge, which according to the Daily Beast is “regularly updated.”
All members of the royal family have codewords to be used at their death and the plans are intended to allow a smooth transition of power.
The king’s Operation Menai Bridge – the name of a suspension bridge that connects the island of Anglesey with the Welsh mainland – is a nod to Charles’ previous role as the Prince of Wales.
According to The Independent, code names were put in place to prevent switchboard operators at Buckingham Palace from learning and spreading news of royal deaths, before an official announcement was made.
