The Queen is dying and yet people still find a way to make this about Meghan.

I hope they dont use an avanti train for the coffin..!

His is what we are hearing from friends in the media too

Given how traumatic Diana’s funeral was and her children were older… do you think the Cambridge’s children will attend the funeral when she does pass away? I can’t imagine W & K wanting to expose their children to howling and hysterical people like how it was for W & H when they were kids…

Who's DB??

It feels surreal, just the longevity. I realised earlier that my DD (aged 1) shares a monarch with her great great great grandparents. The baby I'm currently carrying (due next spring) is likely to be born under a King.

If she has passed I think it would be wonderful if she had just slipped away in her sleep

RubyJam · 08/09/2022 17:03

Will all schools and shops close on the day of the funeral ?
A previous poster mentioned this above , I had never heard of this part of the protocol before ?

I agree, I think an announcement is coming soon.

I think they are going to wait until about 7pm this evening. Get people and kids home from work first.

You can't ask for a better way to go than that.

BBC presenter has just said that the energy crisis /energy bill was insignificant compared to the queen's health. 🤔🤨

People need to get this into perspective. It's sad (as I said earlier) but she's a public figure who most of us have never met and has very little impact on our lives.

I know this is a difficult time for people who are going through this personally or are mourning loved ones and I send you strength.

And no, I wasn't actually watching the news for updates.

Not my brother! Unless there's a lot he's not told me recently ...

If I were Charles I would just let it go straight to William. Can he do that?

Pretty much the whole point of monarchy to not do that

In between the sombreness @TheKeatingFive that's worth a Smile

I imagine all her older great grandchildren like George and Charlotte will but the younger ones like Louis won't.

Astonishing I know. Why they are so intent on harping on about Meghan is mystifying 🙄

humanwinginglife · 08/09/2022 17:05

The guy currently on BBC looks and sounds like he's holding back tears...

This is 24 hour news at its worst. So many words and opinions for nothing actually happening.

I agree with this.

Agree! I wanted to hear about the energy announcement on the 1pm news, nothing! That affects me a lot more than the Queen dying, however sad it is.

Tierne · 08/09/2022 17:05

Of course the royal kids will go to the funeral, children go to their grandparents funerals all the time, and this is a) Their GREAT grandmother and b) Not a traumatic death

Fuck sake. We’re going to get a lot of this over the next few weeks.

I hope they aren’t out in parade. I don’t think that William or Kate would want that tbh, it was awful for him and Harry.
