Newsroom is currently chaos, they’ve had the confirmation and announcement internally but when official announcement is being made is unclear.

Who are you to know? And if you know, you're probably not supposed to be spouting off on mumsnet

TokyoSushi · 08/09/2022 18:10

I assume that the BBC rolling coverage is just going to continue until there's an announcement. That's a lot of time to fill.

hettyby · 08/09/2022 18:10

Has anyone got any insider information about 7pm?

My DSis' 98yo MIL died recently. The family had been "gathering" on a fairly regular basis for nearly a decade.

thefamilyupstairs · 08/09/2022 18:10

The guy who just spoke "not wanting to say too much" just made it abundantly clear she's dead. Trying very hard to speak cryptically but failed miserably.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 08/09/2022 18:10

Be great if she was sitting in bed with a cuppa asking her family what the fuck is going on outside

OK, that was funny.

Watching the BBC and I get the feeling they were expecting an announcement at 6pm

Huw certainly sounded emphatic when saying 'It's now one minute past six.

Festoonlights · 08/09/2022 18:11

People don’t pass to order to fit in with prime time news schedules. My FIL bounced back twice from his last rites, the third and last time he dragged it over for three weeks with a 24 presence at the bed. We can never know - maybe there is hope.
If only Huw would switch into a track suit we could all breathe a sigh of relief.

Course it is 🙄

@hettyby the only one being a fucking weirdo is you.
Dontou think they will just interrupt broadcasts like they did for Phillip? I need to put iggle piggle on for the boy.

Everyone on Mumsnet apparently!

LaurieFairyCake · 08/09/2022 18:11

Where the fuck is the rest of the news??? It's after 6 Confused

4 hours of this 🤷‍♀️

No but I may open a book

Thegroaninggurner · 08/09/2022 18:11

They are all already at Balmoral. It said so before on the news.

gingerninja99 · 08/09/2022 18:11

OhAmBackAgain · 08/09/2022 18:03

wonder if they are waiting for Harry?

I think so

the80sweregreat · 08/09/2022 18:11

My late mil told me she 'wouldn't see 80 ' and died aged 93 !

tactum · 08/09/2022 18:11

Does the announcement have to be on the hour or could it just come anytime?

HebeSunshine · 08/09/2022 18:12

Waynettaaa · 08/09/2022 18:04

My tummy is in knots. I have my grandsons for the night and trying to explain in a basic, gentle way to the eldest who is 3, why I'm sad. We've been chatting about when he came over to celebrate the jubilee at our street party 💞

Surely you’re not going to tell a 3 year old and I’m sure you can keep your chin up for their sake?

Nicholas Witchell looks like he’s trying not to cry on BBS news.

I thought you said confirmed by multiple online sources? Perhaps you could share a few of those sources?

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 08/09/2022 18:12

@hettyby

ODFOD. Don't you have some homework to do now school's back?

CoconutSky · 08/09/2022 18:13

I can’t help but think they might be moving abit premature with this rolling news. IF she is on end of life care, it could be weeks. They can’t do these broadcasts for weeks on end could they? I remember with my nana we got the call saying it could be any time and she soldiered on for 7 weeks on syringe drivers
