William and Kate's tour of Jamaica going well then - in fact the opposite of what they had intended. Following cancellation of a Belize tour due to Village protests and of course Barbados becoming a Republic last year. It's almost as if people (and who knows what will happen in the UK once the Queen passes away) are waking up to this nonsense - plus the issue of colonialism is being raised.

Barbados likely to be the first in a line of dominoes then. Definitely once the Queen passes.
Pretty predictable too. |

William seems to be doing the right thing saying that it is entirely up to the nations what they want to do but yes it's just inevitable. It's funny though that despite leaving the EU and becoming this GLOBAL BRITAIN powerhouse allegedly we will be more isolated and friendless than ever.

It's funny though that despite leaving the EU and becoming this GLOBAL BRITAIN powerhouse allegedly we will be more isolated and friendless than ever. Yes, it's almost as if throwing out British citizens from the old Empire and deterring foreigners from coming to your country and slagging off your allies and suggesting you can strike better deals despite being weaker outside a trading block (with weaker countries) in some bizarre way might give the impression that the old British Empire "we're better than those pesky foreigners ruining everything" to the rest of the world, not least when it's obvious the leaders of the movement are liars and charlatans that can't be trusted. The Royal family are finding their part in the politics of isolation is unavoidable as flag-wavers abroad, and the look of members of the Royal family accusing them of having the same sniffy attitude inside closed doors is not a good one to have either. Who could have guessed..... |

So Harry and Meghan stopped off here on their way to The Hague and the Invictus games to visit The Queen and see Charles. This has prompted speculation that she's more ill than has been reported and she won't attend Easter mass.
Hope she makes her Jubilee in June. |

I'm actually dreading it happening. As much as I hate the Royals as a concept, I don't have anything against the Queen as a person - I mean, I don't know her. But it'll be wall-to-wall coverage for months and we won't hear the end of it.

Same here!
How long do you get off work when it does happen? In 1952 apparently people were allowed to just leave work when it was announced to mourn! |

It's thought people may take the day off if she goes in the night and it's announced at 8am.or leave early if it's announced later in the day. Schools may be half day too but back next day. Official Bank Holiday is funeral day only and days of Charles' Coronaton. |

Sounds like the Queen might be on the way out- not looking good with my experiences with these things.

Yeah this does feel like a matter of hours in the way it's been presented, all joking aside.
will overshadow Truss' energy announcement hugely as well HA! (that piece of shite deserves it, commentary to follow later in the appropriate thread) |

(that piece of shite deserves it, commentary to follow later in the appropriate thread) Very mellow mood, but yeah completely changes the headlines for a few weeks. Plus for the conspiracy theorists out there, there’s a great one here. As much as I am not looking forward to the mass hysteria and unknown (I could really do without another 2-3 bank holidays from a work perspective..!) she has been an amazing servant and clearly this will be another rocky economic challenge for us as well. |

Rumours have been circulating for a while that her illness is actually bone cancer, not a pleasant thing for anyone to be going through if so.

Ooh London rumours?? Makes sense you would hear of those rumoues doon there then with people working in the palace.
Seeing how frail she was and the wording of her being, "comfortable", there can only be one result... If she has bone cancer, that explains her rapidly going downhill recently, and why she hasn't reached the same age as her Queen Mo or Phillip. |

Also, why would the palace keep bone cancer, or anything like that, secret? Surely it would be better to gradually prepare people, AND potentially extend her life/ reign by having Peince Charles understandably fulfil ALL royal duties! |

I hope the Queen recovers but if she does pass away the timing of this would be mental! That picture of Liz Truss shaking her hand would become historic, I've seen some comments about there being "only one Liz" in a reference to Highlander.
