It sounds worrying, doesn’t it?

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

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!

BlueBelle

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

They will have appropriate clothing with them.

The Queen has died. So sad!

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

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

JaneJudge Thu 08-Sept-22 18:33:50

Just listening to the statement being made now. RIP Queen Elizabeth, the only monarch most of us have ever known.

God bless her and her family

BlueBelle Thu 08-Sept-22 18:37:20

Oh daftbags shut up do it’s never the time but now IS not the time

I m not a royalist but it’s brought me to tears but she’s had a fantastic long life and I hope that Andrew, Edward, William, and Harry got there in time …maybe not though

Queen Elizabeth has died this afternoon.

eazybee Thu 08-Sept-22 18:38:05

So very sad.

gillgran Thu 08-Sept-22 18:38:07

RIP Your Majesty, sad news for us all.

So sad she’s died so much a part of my life. We are now going to have to endure Charles and his mistress. The monarchy dies. He should have the country’s best interest at heart and let William and Kate be the head of state. Charles is an eccentric joke.
