The Queen

[mothertrucking]

It's very unusual for Buck Palace to release a statement like they have isn't it?

Yes, seems like her death is imminent.

I feel sympathy for her and her family but she's had a great innings!

Doesn't sound good TBH.

She looked more frail than usual on Tuesday.

Yes and for Sky news to interrupt the commons briefing to read out the statement is quite telling.

It will be more telling if we hear that Harry and Megan have gone to Scotland. Given they are in the country they can have a last min trip up there.

Apologies I should have added a link.

I'm by no means a fan of royalty at all but I do have a huge admiration for The Queen.

It feels very ominous that Buckingham Palace have released that statement

Let's hope she hasn't read anything. Imagine how awful it would be to read about how worried your doctors were!?! 😥

I have wondered what they meant by 'episodic mobility problems'?

I agree an unusual statement.
It must be terrifying to be 96.

I think she has been told, she's not browsing the news on her iPad.

Very concerning. She looked incredibly frail the other day.
I did wonder if Truss/ Johnson took covid tests before meeting her.
I’m not a royalist but she’s served the country well and deserves respect and peace.

It's this that's the most concerning "her immediate family have been informed".

She did look frail on Tuesday. Happy, not robust as she usually looks.

Just heard on sky news that Prince of Wales and William are heading to Scotland 😞

As are the sussexes now

Yes, very unusual. All immediate family are either heading to or already at Balmoral

That says it all

I hope she is comfortable. She has looked increasingly frail since she lost Phillip.

I am not a royalist however I do have the highest respect for the Queen. Very sad news.

Sounds bad.

Charles and camilla, Anne, william, ed and soph and andrew the nonce have all flown up. By all accounts, this is it

Does anyone have a link to the last photo the public saw of the queen?

Like HappyGirl79, I'm not a royalist but I don't think you have to be to be thinking of her. For the vast majority of us she's always been our sovereign.

Doesn't seem right somehow, the thought of there not being a Queen of England.

I did a double take when the picture with her at Balmoral with Truss was released- she was smiling however her hands had that mottled look to them which was passed off as bruising.

HM has been marvellous all the way until now, as morbid as it sounds she deserves an uncomplicated peaceful passing surrounded by her family, I don’t want her to suffer ill health.
