by Anonymousreply 44September 8, 2022 4:45 PM

The health fears over Queen Elizabeth II sparked a "somber mood in Parliament" -- with staffers rushing out to "buy black ties" for politicians, according to one political reporter.

A similar mood was seen at the UK's national broadcaster, the BBC, which cut regular programming for the day -- 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒉𝒂𝒅 𝒊𝒕𝒔 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏 𝒃𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒌.

You Marys are so dramatic and macabre. She could have suffered a stroke and just be immobile. Her health has always been good. She is very dedicated and would step away if she was infirmed or immobile. The hoopla is just succession planning. Why wouldn't she be hospitalized if she was at death's door?

Agreed, R40.

And in the end, regarding Andrew, she was still a mother to her poorly behaved son, wasn’t she?

In no way am I playing down Andrew’s screwed up behaviour, however, I always dislike the criticism she received, because in the final analysis, she was simply a mother who loved her son.

If that is the case, R53, then that's unfair. Kate has served the Crown loyally for more than a decade. Meghan put in a few dozen half-arsed engagements. Kate should be allowed to see the Queen unless she genuinely prefers to remain in Windsor with the children which, Kate being a decent person, she may well do.

She did not have a stroke or heart attack. Those are acute medical emergencies that are managed in the hospital setting. There are quite effective treatments for both. Strokes- clot busting meds/and/or surgical removal of clot; MI - meds/trip to cath lab/bypass grafting. It would be incomprehensible to not bring anyone suffering stroke or MI to a hospital for treatment, much less the Queen.

Kate's place in the hierarchy would dictate who does what and where. My guess is people are right that she stayed to break the news to George, at least. Her parents will likely step in - or they'll go to her parents' house - and then Kate will go up to Scotland. The family will need to be seen in the days following the Queen's death, should it occur (being polite.)

I also believe she died some time ago, and they're just getting everything together for the announcement. It also seems as though they've given Huw Edwards a break on BBC, so he can come back soon and be there when the announcement is official.

If The Queen dies this week, as now seems likely, it’s weirdly appropriate, having received the new PM on Monday. Someone asked earlier if she really had to do that. I suppose she could have lingered a few weeks longer if she had not, but she is the monarch. The monarch invites the PM to form a government and The Queen has done her duty right to the end. She has lived up to the memory of her father and the vow she made to her people.

There is a weird appropriateness to her being at Balmoral too. She is part of the glue which has held the Union together, and her death there, lying in state at Edinburgh before reaching London, would be a symbol of the Union, united in grief and respect. The days after that will be much less certain though.

I had the interesting experience of working as assistant to one of the editors (yes, there are more than one) of the HQ release "Finding Freedom". I thought you guys - especially the Crown sympathizers - might like to know that while the British Royal Family does occasionally come across rather poorly in the book, there were also definitely bits that, while verified to be true by numerous sources, were in the end kept from the finished draft. This was done mostly at the behest of one of our senior editors, who in addition to being quite old is also conservative.

For instance, it was left out that one of the main reasons Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the U.K. is the noxious stench that fires from QEII's practically decomposing cunt. There is absolutely no way to remove it (the smell) from any room she's entered. This is one reason Miss Markle wanted to use air fresheners in St. George's Chapel at Windsor the day of her wedding. The Prince had warned Markle what it was like to live with this fetid, all-pervading stink but she had no idea it could be so bad. Ultimately, she felt it was best to raise her child away from the toxic reek, which court doctors still do not understand.

Anyway, ask me any questions if you like. My contract with the publisher's up.

Probably went out wearing TWO tiaras.

BREAKING: The Queen Under Medical Supervision at Balmoral ~ Part 2 I had the interesting experience of working as assistant to one of the editors (yes, there are more than one) of the HQ release "Finding Freedom". I thought you guys - especially the Crown sympathizers - might like to know that while the British Royal Family does occasionally come across rather poorly in the book, there were also definitely bits that, while verified to be true by numerous sources, were in the end kept from the finished draft. This was done mostly at the behest of one of our senior editors, who in addition to being quite old is also conservative.

For instance, it was left out that one of the main reasons Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the U.K. is the noxious stench that fires from QEII's practically decomposing cunt. There is absolutely no way to remove it (the smell) from any room she's entered. This is one reason Miss Markle wanted to use air fresheners in St. George's Chapel at Windsor the day of her wedding. The Prince had warned Markle what it was like to live with this fetid, all-pervading stink but she had no idea it could be so bad. Ultimately, she felt it was best to raise her child away from the toxic reek, which court doctors still do not understand.

Anyway, ask me any questions if you like. My contract with the publisher's up.
