Has the Queen died?

[J Ed]

The amount of young Americans freaking out and praying that neither of them are dead... jfc. What the fuck investment do you have in an old racist dinosaur who's not even American?

To be fair it makes about as much sense as your average person here actually caring about it

 

[redsquirrel]

I get excited whenever this thread pops up, stop it!!

Likewise, saw this at the top and got hopeful.

 

[Vintage Paw]

This shit is gold.

Perhaps she will appoint Charles as regent because she can't be arsed to open parliament ever again.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Seen a few photos now, of media types setting up outside the Palace. I guess hedging their bets in case twitter is, for the first time ever, correct.

 

[Vintage Paw]

News moves fast in twitter land.

Prevailing sentiment atm is that the NZ thing is highly unusual, and a break of protocol, so might not be true. Buck Pal staff can't get hold of the Buck Pal press officer atm and don't know what the meeting is about. And photogs continue to gather outside, as the Royal Standard continues to fly at full mast (which apparently is normal even if someone is dead).

And now over to Sophie with the sport.

Just seen someone tweeting to Elizabeth Hurley asking if she knows what's going on.

She hasn't replied yet.

 

[bi0boy]

Someone has suggested the Queen might be pregnant

 

[Vintage Paw]

The Express are being clear to point out the mystery person on the roof was NEAR THE FLAG POLE.

 

[Vintage Paw]

Just seen the first "Charles is dead" tweet. Amongst various "Harry's knocked up his girlfriend" and "The Queen to announce she's taking back the Americas."

 

[Mr.Bishie]

I've got Phil in the death pool too, C'mon!!!!!

 

[Vintage Paw]

Some media type bursting everyone's bubble by saying this secret meeting is happening later today, it hasn't already happened.

So my money's on the zero-hours contracts

Queen Elizabeth Is Dead, Buckingham Palace Source Confirms

Some top class reporting

 

[QueenOfGoths]

This is when Twitter is at it's best! I especially like that tucked inbetween the Queen/Prince Philip/Charles is dead at snippets like "The Royal Standard is never flown at half-mast" and "Doesn't Princess Charlotte look like her Grandma" God I love random people!

 

[TheHoodedClaw]

To be fair it makes about as much sense as your average person here actually caring about it

Oh, some people here will *really* care about it.

 

[Reiabuzz]

It's two extra bank holidays when she does kick the bucket. Funeral, coronation. Or do we get one for Phil too?

 

[Crispy]

AP says palace says "no cause for concern"

 

[inva]

AP says palace says "no cause for concern"

i take this to be like managers having the 'full confidence' of the board in football

 

[ruffneck23]

I reckon she is going to abdicate as she has had enough of brexit

 

[ruffneck23]

dp

 

[moochedit]

So after 5 months are they finally gonna admit it?

 

[Yossarian]

Maybe she's decided her uncle had the right idea after all and she's resigning to marry an American woman.

 

[bimble]

I reckon abdication, to spend more time with her dogs.

 

[5t3IIa]

I've chosen Today programme for the actual official announcement, done in the correct manner and proper style then will switch to Sky for the wild speculation and fun stuff

 

[Magnus McGinty]

Well it's 8 o clock....

 

[5t3IIa]

Can't be a huge deal as the pips went and it's just the headlines

 

[Magnus McGinty]

 

[Sprocket.]

Probably summoned staff to inform them they have 90 days notice of going on zero hours contracts.
