It sounds worrying, doesn’t it?

I see they have just announced that the Queen died this afternoon. So strange to hear Huw talking about King Charles.

Very sad, I do hope that Meghan will not go to Balmoral, now isn't the time for drama and self importance.

The Queen has died. So sad!

LauraNorderr Thu 08-Sept-22 18:33:15

RIP Your Majesty. A wonderful queen who gave us her all.

None of her family are travelling in black Surely they would if she was dead already

They will have appropriate clothing with them.

I think it was George Vth who was helped on his way, so that the news of his death would be reported in the morning in The Times, and not in the the evening, in the downmarket Evening Standard!

Are ‘they’ waiting till Harry arrives, meaning everyone in the close family is present so another announcement can be made?

tanith Thu 08-Sept-22 18:20:03

They said earlier that Anne was already there. It’s very sad.

Thanks all, I came to this late and obviously missed that.

Jaberwok Thu 08-Sept-22 18:19:37

Yes Anne is at Balmoral, she arrived without any fuss as is her style. I'm perfectly happy to have wall to wall commentary, those who don't like it can always switch channels.

Any sign of Anne? More concerned that she seems to be missing to be honest.

One report said she was already at Balmoral.

merlotgran Thu 08-Sept-22 18:17:00

Anne was already in Scotland so she’s there.

She was in Scotland anyway so was one of the first there.

I’m no Royalist and rarely comment on threads about the Royal family, but please, could this thread not disparage Meghan or anyone else in any way. It’s about the Queen and should remain that way imo.

Absolutely right

I agree, not the time.

I’ve only watched short bits of the BBC coverage about our ailing Queen, but I’m finding it all rather ghoulish. I’m not being at all disrespectful, but I don’t like this continual speculation. I’ve switched channels.

I agree. Unless someone is a fly on Meghan’s wall (or anyone’s wall) please leave them alone.
