We're being prepared aren't we? Message about the Queen being under medical supervision

[SpringCalling]

It feels like we're being slowly prepared for her passing away. I feel unexpectedly tearful.

Kate's at home with the children as they went back to school today.

@GhostFromTheOtherSide it won't be days. The family all arriving now in quick succession means things are imminent

💔

There is a BA flight due to land at Aberdeen shortly which could be carrying other royals I guess

My mum did that as well. Four days at her bedside in the high dependency unit and when I nipped out to the loo after hanging on as long as I could that particular morning she decided ‘ now’s my chance’. ❤️

Me too. I keep tearing up even though as a youngster I wasn’t that bothered with the RF either way. As I’ve got older I’ve become more appreciative of her and her amazing sense of duty and have felt for her these last few years with the extra stress. I feel really upset and I don’t care if the superior posters on MN who ‘can’t understand why people get upset over a stranger’ find that odd - I’d rather be sad about this than smug about my incomprehension of it.

Did her father's Dr send him off swiftly with some morphine and heroin when it was clearly the end so he'd have a swift death? I imagine if this is the coverage, they're already at that point and she won't be allowed to just wither for days leaving us EFFECTIVELY without a monarch.

Yes, I just read that, like 720 mg of morphine and a gram of cocaine.

So it’s said, and I think that was he way of it in those days.

I have heard from media contacts that she has died and the announcement will be at 6pm

Sorry the previous poster made me lol. Theres no way horses would take the Queen from Balmoral to Holyrood that would take days and the roads are old and narrow. Balmoral to Edinburgh is hours in a car never mind a horse.

They're not superior at all; they're trying to be smart alecs or lacking in empathy.

Her grandfather, George V. Her father died suddenly in his sleep.

Lol why does everyone on this thread have media contacts or knows people in the military who always know more than us mere mortals

Thank you

His death was hastened so it could be announced in the morning papers.

Well they're not very professional are they, leaking news to any old gossip

I have media contacts and know for a fact she is fine and has taken up tap dancing...

Yes, I just read that, like 720 mg of morphine and a gram of cocaine.

Privileged, even in death.

All those weirdos outside Buckingham palace.

Excellent piece from a few years ago.

Indeed, meanwhile the rest of us are like minions waiting for "the boss" aka Huw Edwards to announce it.

I know nobody of importance or inside knowledge 🙁 I'll have to expand my social circle ....

This made me titter. Know what you mean though.

Oh no, has it started already? Is Kay Burley there interviewing them?
