Queen Elizabeth II | 1926-2022 | Rest in Peace

They know the impact of her dying so I definitely think some info has been shared or leaked already. They wouldn't do this if they felt confident she'd recover.
 
May I just say that 0 reigning UK monarchs died while the UK was in the EU.

FEcking brexiteers had to ruin it.

Well, I have information from my boss via someone who works in the foreign office that The Queen passed away at 3pm today and that it will be announced at 9pm this evening.

Obviously, we won't know if this is correct information until later, but he has no reason to make something like that up.

RIP, if true :(

On the BBC, the news reporters are wearing black.
 
they're acting as if the world has ended. a 96 year old woman has died. historically important. ok. my suspicion that this would resemble stalin levels of insanity and hysteria appears to have been on point.

the levels of indoctrination are impressive. when stalin died everyone in the west said "look at how they all pretend to care about him because they're afraid of what happens if they don't mourn". explain this one to me, then. none of you knew this woman. you saw her on television. maybe you met her once at a mass meet and greet. it's madness.

No, she hasn't yet.

That’s a long time to keep it under wraps.

TBH, I won’t be surprised if that was the case. I don’t think as soon as she passes we will know right away. It will be shared a couple of hours later.

Give the royal family first, time to mourn before they share it with the rest of the world.
 
The only way the EL matches get cancelled would be if the police stopped them suddenly or if the clubs chose not to play. UEFA won’t have a protocol for it.

Think there's an embargo until 6pm, I expect an announcement in 1 hour 15 minutes that she's passed.

There's rumours that ITV is already readying the death outcome news, and BBC too. This is the time they're preparing to break the news in full IMO.
I doubt there’s an embargo as it wouldn’t hold if they have the news. An embargo would be minutes at the most. It would be more likely that a protocol has been enacted as her condition is grave, then her death would be treated separately and trigger another load of responses. The announcement of her death is probably quite detached from her actual death too.
