WTF Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 it's almost like 'the queens death live' on tv at the moment. it's vulture central. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monasqueen Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Uncanny that this should have happened after Liz met Liz. At least there is the photographic evidence that she was still able to stand and smile on that occasion. Another country would have been withholding information for at least a couple of weeks already. I do, sincerely, hope that all turns out well, for her and all of the family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect her funeral would be a national holiday at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war baby Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 I am probably one of the few on here who recall the end of King George VI reign. I first saw the Queen around 1955 when she visited my town. I have seen her quite a few times since including within the palace. She did not expect to be monarch as a child as her father was not the heir at the time. Personally, I think she has served her duties well and her passing is due some respect whatever your views. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must say this isn't what I expected at all. My assumption was that there would be radio silence until after she had passed, followed by a well-rehearsed and co-ordinated set of programming. This 24/7 news cycle watching and waiting feel pretty grim. Maybe preferable to her Grandfather being euthanised in time for the morning papers to be pressed though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shake me up Judy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 It's the protocol and the way these things are handled. The media are doing their job and very respectfully too. The Queen is probably near the end and they're giving the family some private time with her. Some idiots on here need to STFU too. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoTail Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 At least its unlikely that Charles will be on the throne for 70 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren’t. BBC keep showing a photo of the family in the car and discussing on national TV how it’s. “Somber family moment” Why is it even on TV at this stage? I can’t see anything respectful about it at all. Poor woman and the poor family. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
