The Queen dying of COVID as Johnson tries to declare it all over would be quite something.
That's probably how it will go.
However with a story this big I don't know if they'll be able to keep it under wraps.
The Royals probably have NDAs with their staff but perhaps one could be tempted to leak news early or they blurt it out when drunk
Imagine being the person that gave it to her if she croaks it. Public enemy numero one.
What public is that? Does the average joe really give a feck?
I was thinking that - he must be praying like crazy. He's just about managed to get people to stop caring about partygate and this would be a bad look to say the least
If she dies we will get one/some too so it's alright.
Don't worry, Daily Mail i'm sure are already trying to link it to Harry and Megan
Well that's just typical of you yanks, no style whatsoever. This is the sort of thing we want, but biggerShe’s got this…
apparently harry, meghan and corbyn were having a three way and coughing all over each other. then harry gave it to his dad, who was meeting harry try and get him to do national service to straighten him out, but harry was too busy snorting coke and throwing around nazi salutes and pro eu rhetoric to listen but charles got covid during the negotiations and then gave it to the queen.
Only a small minority want to abolish the monarchy. I say small, the last article that I can find has it to 19%.
Pro-EU rhetoric
But it won't be good for the next King if he gets tagged to her death though
This is the last one I could find

Some of these comments are in bad taste. She's somebody's mother, grandmother still.
This
But also this
That’s what happened with Phillip, he was dead for about a week before it was formally announced.
Aye they do I think. The majority of people would be royalists (of some degree) I think
I think the Gays were definitely involved as well tbf. Maybe Camilla is trans and gave it to the queen while she was using the wrong bathroom at Bear-moral.
Give it to Queenie til the end of the season?
People just see her as a symbol and can't look behind it and see the individual. An individual, that inspires people around the globe, no matter of what shit house of a monarchy she comes from. To me, as a german and absolute hater of any type of monarchy, nevermind yellowpress about Diana, Meghan, Charles or whoever, it'd be a sad day when she passes. She's a legend, honestly, an icon and one of the most important characters in the western world in the 20th century.
Edit:
It's just the same with the hermancainaward subreddit where people politicize individual fates and miseries. It's okay to not have pity with someone who's most likely at fault for what covid does to him, but they simply use these cases as symbols and show no human empathy. It's quite the unhuman way of thinking of the other extreme way.
You Germans always stick together.
She's as german as Trump
I'm a black man born in England with Jamaican heritage. I'm still English. It gets boring when people ask me 'where are you originally from? The same thing applies to the Queen being German.
Fact is, If you go back far enough, the mass majority of us can trace our beginning away from the UK.
Cheddar Man, the remains of a man found in Cheddar Gorge in Somerset and dated back to around 11,000 years ago is suggested by DNA analysis to have had dark brown to black skin.
at least the police have someone to blame all the 11,000 year old unsolved devonshire crimes on.
Good point. We were all single-celled organisms once, I should have remembered that.
exactly, that's how the modern concept of nationality works. Besides, I'd understand if someone has an ambivalent feeling when it comes to these matters and for example a person has passport X but lives completely like country Y and was born there or whatever. But even then, that person simply has nationality X.
And as you said, there'd basically be no american if we applied that laughable logic.
I want both. Bank holiday and then a week of mourning, whenever it happens. Hang in there ma'am.
I agree with you on Kate, I'm just concerned about the interim period.
Very droll
RIP
If she dies you might get 7 days of mourning. So maybe it might work out better for you lot
After the bank holiday please.
You know. If we weren't worrying about the working poor, fuel poverty, rising inflation and food prices, public spending cuts and the ever widening gap between the mega rich and the rest of us that goes undeterred, I might be able to give a shit about a rich figurehead from a rich family passing away.
The Royal Family are a luxury that most people don't have time to concern themselves with, and seven days of forced "YOU MUST BE UPSET" mourning would be met with seven days of me going to work and doing nothing differently except saying "whomp whomp" every now and then.
obviously as a fenian I have no love for the royal family but after learning how much Lizzie disliked Thatcher I begrudgingly had some respect for her
Maybe it was a deep fake asking us to accept Charles and Camilla!
