So what do people think the Queen's been doing over the last 6 months without many engagments?

A light hearted thread.
Her schedule appears to have been quiet. Which is fair enough.

I wonder if she's been getting up late, watching daytime TV - maybe Bargain Hunt?

Or is she a BBC Breakfast or GMB fan?
Watch Countdown?

Relaxing, putting her feet up.
I know she was doing less engagements as she got older.

She is 94 after all.

I like to hope she's been doing her Joe Wicks daily workout.

If anything like my nana, who died this year in her early 90s - watching reruns of Morse and various other deceptive programmes on one of the freeview channels.

Or if like my other nana - who also sadly died in recent months, also early 90s - complaining to anyone who called her or visited through the window that she would rather get out and about than be stuck home all day not being able to see anyone.
(She did finally get to see family, and fortunately she didn't die from/with Covid either)

Alternatively, maybe learning Tik Tok dances with one or two of her grandkids over Zoom so she can complete against Dame Judi Dench with them.

Reported as 'fuming' over rebellious staff.

Tatler no less

RoxytheRexy · 02/10/2020 20:24

Watching The Crown and loudly exclaiming how hot and thin she used to be. Like when you look back on photos of yourself at uni

AdoptedBumpkin · 02/10/2020 20:25

I hadn't given it any thought until I saw this thread. I'm guessing mostly chilling in her many palaces?

LadyCatStark · 02/10/2020 20:26

An ex colleague saw her out riding and took a picture (from afar)!

Other than that, Netflix I guess.

Baking banana bread.

Panic buying loo rolls and plain flour.

Home schooling Andy

Getting pissed, going on eBay and then feeling embarrassed when MyHermes turn up at Windsor Castle the next day with 50 packets of seeds, an antique stag's antler and a wetsuit.

TheQueef · 02/10/2020 20:31

Xbox with Phil.

chipsandpeas · 02/10/2020 20:33

ill bet she prefers loose women

Newjez · 02/10/2020 20:46

She has a serious gambling addiction and this is obviously where all the money has gone.

She'll spend the next six months in rehab.

DilysPrice · 02/10/2020 20:50

Big fan of Pointless apparently. No, really.

DumplingsAndStew · 02/10/2020 20:51

She set up an Etsy store selling hand-knitted toilet roll covers.

AdaColeman · 02/10/2020 20:51

Sorting out her stamp collection.

Feeding carrots to her horses, discussing future projects with her Racing Manager.

Writing her memoir. Changing her Will.

Counting her tiaras, trying on the Crown Jewels, giving them a quick buff up with the Brasso.

Brushing up her fly fishing technique, doing on line Christmas shopping, menu planning for Christmas at Sandringham.

TwoLeftSocksWithHoles · 02/10/2020 20:51

Using a mirror to study her inaccessible tattoos and wondering why on earth she drank so much that night...

KenAdams · 02/10/2020 20:52

@Jjacobb that's the best thing I've ever seen

drspouse · 02/10/2020 20:56

Calling a family Teams meeting every time one of the junior Royals steps out of line.
Watching old newsreels of oneself.

AriesTheRam · 02/10/2020 21:01

Sitting on her arse eating Toffo's

BilboBercow · 02/10/2020 21:06

Watching the bbc adaptation of Pride and Prejudice while telling Phil "Colin Firth, he's on my list". Cuddling the Corgis. Eating pot noodles.

whhho · 02/10/2020 21:07

Relaxing - she deserves it!

Poppingnostopping · 02/10/2020 21:24

Living in a different house than Philip. Does that not seem odd? I mean separate bedrooms, normal. Separate houses? Why can't they just live fairly separately in one big house (like a palace).

AdaColeman · 02/10/2020 21:27

Her Maj doesn’t have any corgis now, only two dorgis, a corgi/dachshund cross breed.
