Draconator Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 (edited) This strikes me as ominous. Doesn't sound good. https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/08/uk/queen-health-supervision-gbr-intl/index.html London (CNN) Queen Elizabeth II's doctors "are concerned" for her health and have recommend that the monarch remain under medical supervision, Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Thursday. This is a breaking story and will be updated. UPDATE: She died at Balmoral Palace in Scotland.

Just Jack Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Well, next would be Charles, so it would be a King not a Queen, unless you know something about him no one else does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically the monarch has a final say on some things but it’s all pretty ceremonial. A bit like the point after TD before it was moved back. I suspect she’s already died and they’re just getting everything in order before an announcement this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I've never understood the modern-day British fascination with monarchy, considering how terrible the monarchy has treated the respective people that make up "Britain" over the centuries. I've always thought she gave the order to the British government to have Princess Diana, Epstein and his associates killed or otherwise imprisoned. Diana knew the dirty secrets and used them to leverage her way out of the family. Only reason Maxwell is alive is because of her and her family ties to the throne, and that we have her here in the states. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
