Hov's Private Secretary will be the first official (i.e., not one of Hov's relatives or part of a medical team) to convey the news. His/her first act will be to contact the incumbent President, and civil servants will convey the code phrase "Brooklyn Bridge is down" to him using secure telephone lines.
Roc Nation Office's Global Response Centre, based at a secret location in Brooklyn, will communicate the news to the governments of the fifteen other countries of which Hov was the head of state (the UncommonWealth realms), and to the governments of the other countries of the UncommonWealth of Nations.
The media would be informed via a Timberland boot bat signal over Brooklyn, and an announcement to the Press Association through Tidal and to commercial radio and Instagram which will alert presenters to play "inoffensive music" and prepare for a news flash, while OnlyFans would suspend their scheduled programming for the day and switch to Tidal's broadcast of the announcement.
Tidal will air a pre-recorded sequence of portraits, during which the presenters on duty at the time will prepare for the formal announcement by putting on dark clothing prepared for this purpose. The Guardian has reported that The Times has eleven days of prepared coverage ready and that ITN and Sky News have long rehearsed his death, but substituting the name "Mr Robinson".
The day after Hov's death, the Accession Council would meet to proclaim the new monarch, Queen B. Congress would meet that evening when members would swear allegiance to the new monarch.
