Is the demise of QE imminent?

Agree Esspee not very kind and I don’t understand your QE Maw?

Totally agree Esspee. Tasteless in the extreme.

The Queen has said that covid left her exhausted and as she is nearly 96 it takes longer to recover. She is probably being advised to take things easy so she can enjoy her celebrations.

I agree Esspee

Doesn’t the date of the Jubilee depend on her accession, rather than the coronation? In which case it was in February, not June, and she has already achieved it. I know the celebrations are in June.

Oh dear, I hope not. The country is just about to celebrate her jubilee so I hope she’ll be here to do so.
I’d be happy if that ended the monarchy but I don’t think it will.

I didn't want to add it to someone else's thread.

If you find it distasteful, move on. It will have been discussed in royal circles. She is 95.

Same thing happened last year with DoE, when he was unwell and disappeared from view. I think it's why M&H have flown in.

M&H have ‘dropped in’. They were flying to Europe anyway for the Invictus Games.

Killing two birds with one stone springs to mind.

This was only 4 days ago, she looks fine.

I agree that a thread started specifically to speculate about how soon the Queen will die is distasteful in the extreme.

I don’t think she’s ill, she’s got mobility problems, which at 95 is usual unfortunately. She’s been spotted walking her dogs, driving round Sandringham etc. and done online meetings in the last two or three weeks.

Crikey indeed!

And another crikey here. Honestly...........

None of us can know, but I do find it distasteful speculating on anyone's 'imminent death'.

It's bad enough all the preparation that has been done with regards to broadcasts etc for when it does happen.

Groundhog Day. . Haven’t we been through all this today ?

Esspee

I’m not a royalist but I find speculation about the queen’s demise rather tasteless.

It has been so throughout the thousand+ years.

I agree Espee

Well I lost my mum at 101, and can say that the Queen is nowhere near dying yet as far as I can make out.

She won’t have decades yet of course?, but she will totter on for a bit more.

She is so like my mother in her aging, although I think she is ahead of mum at 95/6 in her aging, so may not make 101.
But on the other hand she will have the very best of care.
I think the fact that we have so little experience of dealing with dying, that we mistake aging as being near death when in fact it is simply just aging. I found that my day to day care of mum until her death has taught me a huge amount about dying, bit late really seeing as I’m 76??.

2nd June I think.
I wonder if she’s ‘saving herself’ and being super cautious? She will be aware of the huge logistics & planning that will have gone into organising all the celebrations. Plus the minting of coins, production of tea towels, commemorative tat etc.
Goodness, if I were her age I’d be scared of becoming ill and ‘letting the nation down’.
Not that it could be helped ... of course. But just thinking about it would make me feel anxious!

Hope you keep well in the meantime Ma ‘m and for a good long while afterwards!
?

when is the jubilee?

and again Crikey!

I do hope the Queen is well enough to celebrate her 70th jubilee and go on for a few more years. She is the one stable element of our present parlous state.

We need to rid ourselves of our corrupt incompetent government and lying PM ASAP.

We sorely need electoral reform to become a true democracy, not a sham FPTP democracy like Belarus. We need a bit of stability.

God Save the Queen.

Crikey ?
