Not just the concert but any Royal event. St Paul’s, Westminster etc. All these people and no one appears to depart and no interval. It always puzzles me. Also how does our 96 year old Queen manage functions that appear to go on and on? It’s a subject close to my 81 year old heart. Anyone else obsessed or is it just me?

In the past my husband and I were frequent concert goers. At places like Wembley Stadium I found it annoying that there was always a huge queue for the ladies yet the gents queue moved quite quickly. On several occasions I used the gents and encouraged other women to follow suit. Yes we got a few strange looks but at least we were back in our seats before the end of the interval!

When the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh were on the Royal Barge on the Thames for the Golden Jubilee, they were there for about 5 hours. During that time they never moved from standing, did not sit down and definitely did not go to the toilet. The following day the Duke of Edinburgh was hospitalized with an urine infection. I always thought that not passing urine was possibly the reason why he was admitted to hospital.

I remember thinking exactly that at that time. The Queen must have an amazing bladder and yes poor Prince Philip’s bladder infection was most likely caused by those hours of retaining urine.
