"Operation Menai Bridge" is the code name[1] for plans related to the death of King Charles III.[2] The name refers to a suspension bridge in Wales.
Background
When King George VI died, it was communicated by using the phrase "Hyde Park Corner", to avoid Buckingham Palace switchboard operators learning the news too soon. For Queen Elizabeth II, the code word was "London Bridge is down".[3][4]
