“The official website of the Royal Family is temporarily unavailable while appropriate changes are made.“

Nicely poetic approach to put the website in a sort of mourning state. Curious what changes need to be made.

They've been ready for years. None.

So it's just symbolic? Seems odd to not have a click-through then.

Edit: Just checked some subpages and they forward to the announcement. I guess they really mean unavailable.

It is both: the process will have been planned in every detail for decades, but part of that process is to show a "mourning" website.
