Can we not destroy this thread with Meghan and Harry crap. This is for the queens passing. Arista, create your own thread, don't **** all over this one

I 100% agree.

:clap2:

Sorry,
it is related to the Queen.


As you know they get Locked up, fast

Her cause of death has been announced as Old Age

I knew choosing heroin overdose in the sweepstake, was a mistake.

:laugh2:

it's sad she didn't get to become 100, but it's still amazing she lived to be 96 and she still got to experience her platinum jubilee (am also grateful for that myself, that platinum jubilee was really soo emotional)

She wasn't that old though.
Philip was 99, her mum was 101.
She died of a broken heart.

she died at 15.10 on 8th September

I think that means that the majority of those travelling didnt get there in time

Only Princess Anne and King Charles was it seems.

New coins featuring the portrait of King Charles have been revealed, with a 50p carrying his image entering general circulation within weeks.

BBC News was given a first glimpse of the 50p and a commemorative £5 Crown which include an image of the King by British sculptor Martin Jennings.

The coins follow centuries of tradition with the monarch now facing left - the opposite way to his predecessor.

As with previous British kings, and unlike the Queen, he wears no crown.

King Charles personally approved the effigy, and was understood to be pleased with the likeness.

The coins will be sold to collectors by The Royal Mint from early next week. The 50p coin will be available for general use well before the end of the year, distributed according to demand by banks, building societies and post offices.

They will co-circulate with coins featuring the late Queen, so those 27 billion coins will still be accepted in shops.

I think Anne had been staying with her, and there had been concern for her health for a few months, I am firmly of the view she hung on until the Jubilee and gradually lost to will to live after that, she was never the same after Philip died.

another reason to hang on was to usher Bojo out the door :laugh:

i think that sums it up well, she was never the same after Philip died

Absolutely.
I agree with all that.
Amazing lady.

taken of her in September 2022 - features on the
front page of the Sun, which reports that
the late monarch's final moments have been
detailed by her "most trusted staffer"
in a new book.

says she felt "no pain" as she
slipped away, the paper says.]

we all know how accurate close aides are in their stories. Paul Burrell for example

When people always ask that classically inane question of what celebrity (living or dead) would you love to meet, and if, like me, you're crass enough to call the monarch a celebrity (at least for the sole purpose of responding to this question), I would answer with the late Queen. The amount of dignitaries, thought leaders, and generally influential people she met throughout her long reign, she must have had such an incredible amount of wisdom to impart.

How sad she had to endure all that crap in her final couple of years...shame on them.
