It has stopped raining at Balmoral. Maybe they will bring the ponies back out at seven.

Harry is late, guess that's what happens when you have to charter your own private jets 🤷‍♀️

Are you quite well?

God, I'd love to see her sitting in a pink woolly shawl, looking over her glasses, holding a cup of tea, saying extremely dryly, 'I'm afraid, Charles, rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. . .'

mothertrucking · 08/09/2022 18:13

My guess is Harry not arriving yet has held up any announcement.

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

Yes, noticed that too.

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.

Do you remember the news of the royal births? They had to witter on for HOURS waiting for that announcement.

sunglassesonthetable · 08/09/2022 18:14

What if she's dying for the next fortnight?The news is going to get very wearisome.

😀😉

Plot twist!!!

Someone send Paddington with a marmalade sandwich.

Yes I agree.

mothertrucking · 08/09/2022 18:15

And Huw Edwards keeps saying the time a LOT

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

Which newsroom?

He had been on Mumsnet when he disappeared for a bit and was expecting an announcement too.

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

They must be expecting some news soon, or they'd have gone back to normal news. Not like there isn't any - had it not been for this, the energy price cap news would have warranted a special in itself.

nonono1 · 08/09/2022 18:15

I genuinely don’t think that Huw Edwards knows whether the Queen has died or not. If he does know he’s a bloody good actor!

the80sweregreat · 08/09/2022 18:15

When Prince George was born they had cameras on the door of the lindo wing for a nearly a week!

OneFrenchEgg · 08/09/2022 18:15

Loads of people at BP. It's never usually that busy.

That's what I think. Helena Wilkinson now taken off her coat to show her black jacket.

Very sad. God Bless the Queen.

Sharrowgirl · 08/09/2022 18:15

Huw Edwards and Nicholas Witchell doing a fucking amazing job talking about nothing and repeating themselves for 4/5 hours. It must be really hard!!

Beepbopadooda · 08/09/2022 18:15

My cousin's aunty's dog worked at the BBC in 1994 and I now have it on good authority an announcement will be made at 18.27

scribbles note hmm, suspicious 🤨

You can look up the engagements she was doing if you want. I suspect the Riding for the Disabled group in Blairgowrie didn't get their visit.

wonderstuff · 08/09/2022 18:16

Why on earth would they wait for Harry? I'm guessing she's on end of life care and this could last minutes or days.
