Oh dear Harry and Meghan

maddy there could be a reason for Phillip moving to Windsor, St. Gorge’s Chapel and Frogmore

Errr.... or could it be that the Royal Family normally spend Easter at Windsor Castle?

Could be, just going a week early

About to stick head above the parapet. Every morning I see this thread is still going and can’t believe it, then through some awful fascination I look and see it’s exactly exactly exactly the same as when it started, I m sorry but I think it’s becoming an obsession for some.

Yet you read it ?

I just said that

So, Harry and Meghan are going to 'provide accurate information and facts from Rusian pranksters trusted experts'

Pointless witterings, in other words.

Nothing wrong with the Queen and Prince Philip isolating themselves at Windsor a week early. It's only fair to their staff to scale back and should Philip need to be hospitalised again they are much closer to an appropriate hospital.

Just looking in out of curiosity as I couldn’t imagine there was much more to be said!
Glad to see Prince Philip joining the Queen at Windsor - I wonder how much longer he has. Another sad thought, you can have all the money, power, possessions in the world but when he goes it will be a massive blow for her.

Pragmatic decision to go now, I would say, as there is always the possibility of London going on lockdown

The next piece of news surely has to be PP has died? That will lead to a flurry of activity here.

I thought he looked very old, as he is, but quite dapper and no frailer than anyone of his age would.

If he were to die I am sure there will posts here expressing
sympathy

Did you mean to sound quite so callous Greymar.

I get you don’t like royalty but he is still a person and somebody’s beloved.

I have never said I don't like royalty. I think some of them do a fine job.

I mean a sense of foreboding and that will be the next thing maybe.

What a lot of morbid speculation!
I know Prince Philip is not the monarch, but at one time it used to be treason to speculate on the death of the King.(Immersed in 'The Mirror and the Light'; now those really were dangerous times.)

Oh, ok.

I just thought it sounded a bit dismissive of the man......

Don’t mean to be morbid, I hope he sees his 100 birthday, he
Will get a telegram from the Queen, and he deserves a state
funeral

And just to add, I am amazed to find that I actually feel some sympathy for Princess Beatrice, not one of my favourites, because of all the uncertainty about her wedding. I know it is the same for many brides at the moment, but they don't have such embarrassing families.

Her father, (will he be allowed out), her mother, (behaviour), the venue, the Reception, the guests, (limited to five), will THEY attend? They clearly can't hold it in Italy.

I am sure her father will attend. Perhaps they will delay it a
year

I thought I had read a day or two ago that Bea has postponed her wedding already.

I think the limit is five in total eazybee - the priest (or officiator), the bride and groom and two witnesses which is the minimum allowed.

I do feel sorry for anyone whose wedding has been postponed because of the virus and I also feel sorry for anyone whose livelihood depends on the wedding business.

I feel sorry for Beatrice as well. Harry and Meghan had all the razzamatazz they wanted and Eugenie's wedding was lovely with family from both sides. Beatrice sensibly decided on a low key 'do' but I bet the poor girl didn't reckon on the lowest key imaginable.

I hope when they do eventually get married the Queen and Prince Philip will be able to attend.

I feel sorry for all the weddings being postponed, all the planning, the money, the hope and expectation, it’s very sad.
I’m pleased Philip is joining the Queen, they should be together at this difficult time. As I said yesterday, I truly hope he doesn’t die at this time because I can’t see how they can have a state funeral, which is what will have been planned. The same goes for the Queen too. As for the rest of us, if we have family deaths I cannot see how we can have a normal funeral. It’s very sad when people can’t say goodbye properly to their loved ones. That’s what I was trying to say yesterday. Perhaps I didn’t word it very well.
