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

Lady Colin Campbell has ended an unscheduled video with the news that the Queen passed just after 2 pm this afternoon and there will be an official announcement once Harry and Meghan arrive at Balmoral.

Really??
Did a Palace Mouse squeak that info?

If true, The Queen will be with her Husband and beloved Pets and Horses.

Astounding · 08/09/2022 17:14

In that case that was in appalling taste and an unforgivable video to put out. She was wearing black too.

She wishes she was privy to that kind of information. She doesn't know anymore than the rest of the public.

Astounding · 08/09/2022 17:17

Even it turns out what she said is true, she had no right to put out an announcement. Appalling.

Antarcticant · 08/09/2022 17:18

Lady Colin Campbell is a journalist - it's speculation. She didn't even get it right about Meghan going to Balmoral, so how the rest of her statement can be given credibility, I have no idea.

Lady Colin Campbell is alleging Her Majesty was suffering Bone Cancer?
And that HMTQ had died at 2PM ,today so say ''Stress made the illness worse''...{Implying Harry and Meghan}

mothertrucking · 08/09/2022 17:22

Lady Colin Campbell whether she is correct or not has no right to be divulging that information

That's what meeting Truss did for Her Maj.

@PostmortemNow

Perspective seems to go completely out the window. Maybe if people got this bothered by actual atrocities and real sad stories things would be much better for everyone? I bet royalists were more likely to be the ones clapping on there doorstep during lockdown. Happy to offer support as long as you don't actually have to do anything.

Cynical and I'd imagine not at all true

If HMTQ is still alive, then Lady Colin Campbell is bang out of order to lie about something so serious.
To get ratings and you tube hits?

Astounding · 08/09/2022 17:29

oakleafy. I agree. If the Queen was alive when she uploaded that video that's despicable and her channel should be banned.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 08/09/2022 17:30

I agree that why would Lady Colin Campbell be the one charged with putting out the announcement before the BBC?

She hasn't been and she wouldn't be. She's like the people on here who have been told by their 'contacts' and 'relatives high up in the media' that HM has died. Sick attention seeking and 'I know something you don't.' They need a hobby. Or a slap.

I agree.
Lady Colin Campbell seems to think she has a direct line to HMTQ, she says ''I regret I have had to jump the gun'' {With informing the viewers!}. ''I am reliably informed the Queen died at 13.40 this afternoon, and they are waiting for Harry and Meghan to show up.

Jeez.

I'm not a royalist and have never heard of lady Campbell but for goodness sake what the hell is she doing! A 15min ish video whittling about the Queen's supposed bone cancer, talking about privacy and respect and rounding up with claiming that the Queen has died (I fast forwarded couldn't be bothered to listen to it all).

How revolting! There is clearly a protocol and a plan which has been in place for a while and was agreed with The Queen.

Surely not following this is awful!

What happened to basic respect! I guess I'm now part of the problem as I watched some of it.

I'm not going to discuss it with anyone outside of this thread.

I'm also astounded. I too am part of the 'Problem' as linked to her channel .
If HM Queen is still alive, Maybe Legal action could be taken?

Astounding · 08/09/2022 17:41

freckles. That video is sick. It seems to attract people who believe everything that comes out her mouth. And as I said, even if what she says proves to be correct, how dare she take it upon herself to make the first announcement of the passing of someone she allegedly respects. She would know about the order of things and to completely steamroller over it, is despicable

@Gracelynn

I have struggled with faith for quite a few years now. But your last post was a beautiful thing to say about a woman who holds her faith dear.

Astounding · 08/09/2022 17:48

I've reported the video and commented that it was not for her to make this announcement even if what she said turns out to be accurate. That it was disrespectful to The Queen and her family.

Twizbe · 08/09/2022 17:51

Chatting to a mum at the school gate. She said in her country (commonwealth one) there is a saying that everyone dies except the queen. She was clearly upset and kept saying it was too soon.

My son said they said a prayer at school for the Queen.

mothertrucking · 08/09/2022 17:52

I can't tear myself away from the news and MN even though there are no updates. MN seems full of people in the 'know' all of a sudden.

I just read somewhere someone said she had suffered a stroke. Whatever her condition is or was I hope she has not suffered any pain.

Can't say I know of any cancer that is.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 08/09/2022 18:19

I hate it when people pop up on threads like "yeh she's already dead. My hubby's been asked to do something because of it".
Like, it's just a total nonsense trying to sort of gloat if they have Information first hand before anyone else. Except it's probably lies and you just want attention. Otherwise, if it's true, have a soupcon of empathy and stop spreading stuff like that around trying to get attention. It's weird.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 08/09/2022 17:07

I really hate this preemptive wall to wall coverage.

Yes very distasteful. All reporters in black as well.

Hungrycaterpillarsmummy · 08/09/2022 18:22

I'm not sure how pre-emptive it is though when The Firm release a statement like that and all the family going to be with her. It's not just wearing black to mourn, it's just professional.

Prescottdanni123 · 08/09/2022 18:26

@Sparklybutold

I'm guessing that you don't have any celebrities that you like then? Because some of them are mega rich, get special treatment and are often treated like they are more important than others.

So why is it just the RF that are on the receiving end of your ire? On today of all days. Whether you are a royalist or not, show a bit of respect to a woman that actually has worked very hard in what is actually a very difficult role.
