Look at Queenies hands Hmm

Corona related? Couldn’t get them both together for a pic so faked it?

I do think that they RF are a little out of touch about how they are perceived.

For instance, Beatrice bravely delaying her wedding until next year so we can all have something to look forward to. How kind. Also, WTF?

It is possible that the Queen and Prince Charles might think that the passing of the DofE should be kept quiet until a proper bells and whistles funeral could take place.

I wonder if they have a chest freezer at the castle?

It does look photoshopped, however I have had photos taken of me where I look photoshopped onto the background but I definitely was not!

Anyway there have been rumours he is very unwell and he looks suspiciously healthy in this photo compared to how he looked on xmas eve. But who knows.

They both died a few weeks ago, a week apart. The media will announce it at the end of the year with a state funeral in the new year. Funeral will be in Westminster Abbey, however they will be laid to rest in Windsor.

Has Prince Charles, also been abducted by an alien?

Aye and it was a spitting image puppet that did the address to the nation.

It's either at the top or appears when you click on the ellipse.

It's just called Quote.

Isn't just a brightly lit (overly lit?) photograph on a very sunny day causing shadows?

I've been known to take the odd photograph (very much an amateur!) with my proper camera and ended up ones which look photoshopped onto the background.

If a royal dies there are hundreds of people who flock to the palace or the royal residence to lay flowers.

This would mean hundreds of people on public transport when we are being told to travel only when we need to.

If CV started spreading around them and they took it back home to relatives in their household we could be back to square one. Plus there no precedent for a royal funeral at such times.
Map if PP had died they could well try and cover it up. Only the closest couple of people and the doctor would know. Everyone else would be kept out if his room. He’d be in a laundry hamper being taken to a chest freezer somewhere for a few months.

Or perhaps I’ve watched too many films..

Prince Phillip will be buried at Frogmore. If he had died I imagine they'd just do that and have a memorial with military honours in the future.

It looks like the photographer just loused up the lighting by photographing them in shade (poss under a tree) on a bright,sunny day.

@Purplephonecover
How do think this cunning plan will play out re any laws that are made in the six months before HMQ's death is revealed? I've never come across such nonsense.

NewName54321 · 10/06/2020 18:33

The photo with the Duchess of Cambridge looks like it's a cut-out. I'm not convinced the other photo is as well.

I had to do a double take when I saw the thumbnail picture of Kate, it looked like she had a crop top on and matching skirt!

Gingerkittykat · 10/06/2020 19:34

@roses2

The rumours that he has died keep coming up don't they, if he had though why wouldn't they just announce it?

There will be an extravagant funeral which can't happen right now.

He had already planned not to have a state funeral, it will be a private funeral followed by burial at Frogmore.
3cats · 11/06/2020 05:09

I actually thought the photo with Kate was a spoof as he totally does look like a cardboard cut-out.

For instance, Beatrice bravely delaying her wedding until next year so we can all have something to look forward to. How kind. Also, WTF?

Rumour has it that the real reason the wedding was delayed and may not happen is because the grom can't keep his dick in his pants.

I think the RF would welcome any excuse for a quiet, low-key funeral so I can't see any reason they'd lie about deaths right now.

DigOutThoseLemonHandWipes · 11/06/2020 11:26

Wow the Queen is looking amazing in her Zoom call for someone who has been dead for several weeks Hmm

tenlittlecygnets · 11/06/2020 23:17

Ha, just came on to mention the Queens Zoom call! Pretty good going for a 94yo, especially one who's dead. 😁🤷🏼‍♀️
