I hope it’s not true with everything that’s going on with Prince Andrew. Anyone else heard this?

I do think it's completeiy made up.. The only thing that is giving it any credence is the fact its been out there for a few hours with no official denial

I would have thought buck House would have stepped in by now to say its rubbish.. But maybe its protocol not to

Yes, there are always arrangements being made, she’s in her 90s!

Sagradafamiliar · 01/12/2019 22:28

The arrangements have been being made since the 60s!

I hope she is not browsing on MN!

One is not amused at the exaggerated reports of one's death. Grin

@ManonBlackbeak definitely a funeral rehearsal or speculation that that's what it was? Trooping of the Colour, Service of Remembrance, the celebration for her significant birthdays and Jubilees are all preceded by numerous early morning rehearsals on the streets of London.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 01/12/2019 22:29

I expect she's used to rumours like this - I doubt they bother her overmuch!

Happened to Mark Twain, while he was in London. An American newspaper printed his obituary thus the famous quote:

"Rumours of my death have been greatly exaggerated"

I agree with pp, she'll try to outlive Charles, and go not long after he does.

Hell, NO!

Not that I'm a fan of the Windsors by any stretch, or care about Elizabeth particularly. I'd be as sorry to hear of her life ending, and as saddened for her family and loved ones, as I would over the death of any stranger.

But can you imagine the maudlin, sentimental, saccharine media coverage that will saturate this country when the sad day finally happens? Bearing in mind that distinctly horrible prospect, as far as I'm concerned she should put off the unhappy event for as long as possible.

GST great British public ...

Just when you think the whole Brexit debacle couldn't get any worse!

Aha, so it must have been Meghan posting the thread about dressing her baby in black! Wink

And after THAT, we'd have coronation fever to come.

Besidesthepoint · 01/12/2019 22:37

I like the idea of her faking her own death. I wonder what she would do after that...... maybe put on a pair of jeans and trainers and go get drunk in Tenerife? So much fun thinking of this.

fatulousatforty · 01/12/2019 22:38

@Archiem88 stay classy eh

SeperatedSwans · 01/12/2019 22:38

The more I think about this, the more I hope it's not true!

We genuinely can not have a situation where news of the monarchs death has been spread by a WhatsApp message with a penis avatar 🤦🏻‍♀️ I mean there is no dignity in death of that's the case!

I want to hear more from Gibbo and Ricey!

Auradal · 01/12/2019 22:40

It's probably not true but my republican heart sank when I saw this thread...I've just realized I will be upset when she dies.
What the fuck?
I'm an arch-republican!!

Disgusted at myself.

Barsh · 01/12/2019 22:40

In my line of work I’d have been rung by now. By my boss who would have been one of the first to find out.

EngTech · 01/12/2019 22:40

Nope, false news 😎

PeyoteSky123 · 01/12/2019 22:40

This came from a WhatsApp group from the Gaurds (apparently). No one knows if it's true or fake yet.
