On Thursday morning, Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom, died at the age of 96. She had occupied the throne for more than 70 years at the time of her death, longer than any other British monarch. The heir apparent, Charles, was expected to ascend to the throne within the coming days.
However, when Parliament gathered, Prime Minister Liz Truss presented a new plan. “I had received a letter from the Mormon prophet, Russell Nelson,” she later said. “He said that queens are all fine and dandy, but the Mormons had ‘seen this kind of thing before and it usually doesn’t turn out great.’ He then went on and on about some ‘Pride Cycle’ before he finally explained his idea.” President Nelson also reportedly sent many quotes from King Mosiah. “Mosiah’s words really spoke to me. We cannot let an unrighteous king lead us into darkness.”
The new British government will not be a monarchy, but instead be comprised of judges, wise men appointed to judge the people in accordance with the commandments of God. Although there is no word yet as to who these judges will be, early guesses include Ringo Starr, Millie Bobby Brown, and whichever of the Spice Girls are available.
For a country with extremely high levels of atheism, the new plan has been accepted quite well. Citizens are reportedly hopeful that this plan will decrease poverty, injustice, and the shedding of blood. As for the royal family, Elizabeth has been authorized to be immediately baptized by proxy at the London England Temple. “We can’t waste any time,” says President Nelson. “The more Mormon Monarchs, the better.”
