Do you think the queen is really poorly?

As in dying 😔. I know she is very old and fragile at 95 but I do wonder if she is trying to keep going until the Royal jubilee.

No, but she is just very old.

MondeoFan · 14/04/2022 21:39

No, I just think she's not very mobile or steady on her feet atm

BelfastMaOf2 · 14/04/2022 21:39

I was thinking the exact same earlier, cancelling so many appearances clearly means she is unwell. Of course, she is very elderly and no one else at her age would be working. But it definitely feels like they have her resting as much as possible to try to get her to the jubilee...

Covid is awful. I’m a healthy 37 year old and it completely messed me up. She is 95!

MVision · 14/04/2022 21:40

Yes she is - the newspapers have had the nod - it's why meghan and harry have come over

SmellyOldOwls · 14/04/2022 21:41

Yeah I think she's not well at all bless her. She should be chilling out in bed watching Corrie, not out and about all the time for work.

mum2jakie · 14/04/2022 21:41

She's old isn't she and probably struggling with social engagements. Would be a real shame if she does pass away before the Jubilee but she isn't going to live forever.

GeneLovesJezebel · 14/04/2022 21:41

No, I don’t think she’s poorly, I just think she’s old. I have a relative at the same age, and the queen is fantastic in comparison.

Sadnesser · 14/04/2022 21:41

I have relatives a good 15 years younger than the Queen and they seem very elderly. It’s easy to forget how old she is given her usual good health. I think he’s just having to slow down a lot. I imagine she’s too proud to be seen struggling.

lljkk · 14/04/2022 21:42

Increasingly Frail not unwell.

TheFormidableMrsC · 14/04/2022 21:42

My own view is she's done enough, she deserves to put her feet up. I suspect she's nearing end of life, that is not surprising given her age. I have nothing but admiration for her.

Hugasauras · 14/04/2022 21:43

I think she's 95 years old, and being 95 comes with a lot of issues. She's very elderly and frail. She's not necessarily 'unwell' or in imminent danger of death, but when you're 95 death is never really that far away.

Frazzled2207 · 14/04/2022 21:44

No but she’s very frail
She’s done far better than any other 95 yo I know
Should be allowed to just retire now

RishiRich · 14/04/2022 21:44

I think she's just very old and wants to take on engagements that she's not physically up to.

uffington · 14/04/2022 21:44

Apparently her bad back is due to a bowel issue. Not sure how serious a bowel issue though.

Shouldbedoing · 14/04/2022 21:45

Crumbs. Makes a nonsense of Harry's security court case though.

Frazzled2207 · 14/04/2022 21:45

@MVision

Yes she is - the newspapers have had the nod - it's why meghan and harry have come over
Oh right do you have insider info then Hmm
Beecham · 14/04/2022 21:45

Most very old people get worried about having falls. I expect it's just that. Plus being generally tired after Covid.

I have a great aunt the same age who is 100% there intellectually but never goes out for fear of falling over.

CiderWithLizzie · 14/04/2022 21:46

@MVision - oh I thought they didn’t come over?

Theyellowflamingo · 14/04/2022 21:46

She’s in her mid nineties. My grandparents 15 years younger were already in care homes, unable to walk and in one case recognise anyone. For someone of her age and post covid, not doing very much/cancelling things is entirely normal. I can’t imagine many her age would manage all the walking and standing around involved in these enhancements. I’d say she seems very well, certainly mentally, for her situation. The speculation over when she’ll die is revolting.

GeneLovesJezebel · 14/04/2022 21:47

Very sad that they’ve, apparently, not brought Lillibet to meet her.

Joystir59 · 14/04/2022 21:47

She will be 96 next week. She is just really old.

Georgeskitchen · 14/04/2022 21:48

She is very frail and stooped. She looks like a lady who is nearly 96. She has definitely declined since Philip died. She probably just wishes to be reunited with him x

MVision · 14/04/2022 21:49

@Frazzled2207 yes

MsFogi · 14/04/2022 21:50

I suspect the stress of Harry and Meghan popping in will tip her over the edge.
