Has the Queen died?

Now deleted tweet re:

Don't think he's going to use Charles, is he?

Chazza the 1st?

Purely on the fact that the palace statement did not mentioned she is in good spirits, means I am calling it.

I ve been on Urban 20 years and forgot to put her in my death pool I think

altho i note nicholas witchell is still wearing a jaunty blue and red tie

Surprised he's so jaunty; doesn't he get flung on the monarchical funeral pyre?

God, I dislike the queen and I hate the monarchy, but I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Even in death, there's fucking Witchell sniffing around your ankles obsequiously, pulling a sombre little face and droning on about your 'sense of duty'.

what is everyone's favorite queen moment? mine is the annus horribilus speech in 1992

Show some respect. She's not dead yet.

Starting to think "under medical supervision" means "under a sheet on a table".

She's now with the spirits.

What song will be sung instead of God Save the Queen?

Pretty much.

She’s either dead or in a medicated sleep and drifting in and out of it if that’s how it’s described

Test Match Special has just stopped for the day and I’m not sure it’s just due to the rain.

Just turned on the TV and found that the BBC are doing a BBC News Special until 18:00 today. I might just throw my TV out of the window.

I turn 50 tomorrow, she better not die on Friday and spoil that

Sounds like a birthday treat to me

Eugenie's given her a cheeky bump of K off her Coutts black card.

Lizard transition has begun.

Course it does. She's the flipping queen - like she hasn't been having 24-hour on-call medical care for months, at least, already?

Horizontal.

Shhhh, no spoilers! I've deliberately been avoiding all the entertainment news so as not to find out who's replacing her as the Queen in the next series.

I think it should be a black one this time, or a gay one. Or neurodiverse.

My other half has pointed out that the Tories will gain from the related pageantry

Nah, she had to be up at 8 am to try and get a GP appointment.

She was a unifying national symbol. To lose that as you enter a time of crisis. . .

Unless it turns out Truss had Covid and gave it to Brenda. Which would be fucking awesome.

he is soo mental he will have some long title I bet.

Don't think he's going to use Charles, is he?

Yeah but she's got like 30 flunkeys all calling them at once too, and whoever gets through first hands her the phone. One rule for them...

George apparently.

[steveo87]

The way this is worded is doing my head in - specifically the last bit.

 

[redcogs]

Does Urban have a precedence for when a monarch croaks? Think i would have noticed if it had happened before, so assuming it hasn't, some guidance would be good? Will it be black ties and armbands all round? Will pickmans model be chief mourner (moaner)? One feels 'all at sea' when moments of crisis strike so someone with an air of authority needs to step up and place their signature on the deepest sympathy card first?
