Official: Prince Philip is Dead, 9th April 2021

Now would be a good time for them both to go, as their passings wouldn't dominate the news agenda for weeks on end, Spencer 1997-style.

No. I've said this several times now but it would be terrible timing if the queen dies now. We are due 2 extra bank holidays and what bloody use would they be if we are confined to home?

I couldn't care less about the Phil the Greek but queenie needs to hold on till all this has blown over.

'Just as the country was getting back in its feet, everybody fucked off for a week of national mourning. GDP dropped even further but pubs made a fucking mint'. :oldthumbsup:
 
Realistically though every time I've seen the queen on tele recently she has looked in rude health. Her mum went on forever didn't she? I reckon she has at least another 5 years in her.

I'd have thought the crown sits uneasily on royal heads while the coronavirus circles ever closer to them
 
Bit surprised we've not had a tv broadcast from queenie yet. All this greatest crisis to hit the UK since WW2 and she can't even be bothered to record a 10 minute worthless ramble.

Its cos she's dead. Costs a fuckload to do the CGI shit, try and keep it to under 30 seconds
 
The man is 98 ffs, you could safely post speculation every day that he has shuffled off this mortal coil everyday with a high chance of getting it right.
If Brenda pegs it during the current crisis things could get interesting trying to have a state funeral and a coronation in the middle of the current shitstorm.
I really hope she does. We need the amusement. And if crowds of royalist types get together to line the streets for her funeral and they all catch C19 and die, that would be fine too.
 
According to the Beeb, herself made a "need to pull together" style statement
They are both in Windsor Castle. He got choppered tp there from Sandringham.

It must be something about those walls - they certainly enforce social distancing !
 
She does shake a lot of hands though. I wouldn't be surprised if all the royals and politicians have it just for that reason.
 
As I drove back from walking the dog this morning the car radio was tuned to Xfm, we went through part of a village that has a small DAB flat spot, 20 seconds of silence, then You Are The Wind Beneath My Wings starts up. Nice enough song but not the sort of thing that would normally be played on Xfm.

So I guessed they were just about to announce that Phil had left the gig. Turned the screen away from sat nav to radio only to find it had somehow jumped to Magic FM :rolleyes:
