I was just about to post about this too 

The Queen is under medical supervision and sounds concerning with family members all making their way to be with her fingers crossed for her recovery

I do fear for the country after she passes. There is so much unrest politically, socially, economically, I fear this will push us over the edge. 

I don’t share those fears at all, and I’m risk averse generally.

I agree.  The queen is just a figurehead (I know she has constitutional "duties"), so the country won`t collapse just because she passes.

My fear isn't that, it's more that there are growing numbers wanting rid of the monarchy, more that will feel the same or change opinion once we have a King rather than a Queen, and the ensuing arguments over that. I had a doctor's appointment today and there was a gentleman in there wearing a "Citizens not subjects #republic" t-shirt. I worry that argument is going to escalate, with the tensions and anger everyones feeling already. 
And when people are struggling to eat, the pomp and stuff that will be part of the mourning and the celebration and festivities of Charles taking reign, will not be met well.

I feel like the country is on edge of tearing itself apart as it is, as happens when people get hungry and struggle financially, something like this adds to tensions.
