Queen Elizabeth II has passed away - keep posts civil and respectful

[Mr Jack]

would have thought it will be on buckingham palaces gates first

Ah, sorry, I thought those were the gates you were talking about.

Is it really a seismic, unimaginable moment for a 96 year old woman to pass away naturally?

For the country yes

A 96 year old woman, no. A 96 year old, 70 year reigning monarch, yes

1 minute past 6pm, nothing new.

Her body would be taken back to London I believe

I suspect her soul will remain at Balmoral though. Her love of the estate has been plain to see for decades.

When she's the most famous 96 year old on the planet, yes I think it is.

Incorrect, it's three minutes past six.

My wife tells me a royal has posted a video to say the Queen has a form of bone cancer and has had it for a few years. Not seen it myself but not sure the family would approve of a fellow royal giving out information on the Queens health.

Typically anything for the top royals is kept top secret.

Why would the release something saying 'The Palace says the Queen remains comfortable and is resting' if she was gone or about to

Just seems a needless thing to release if she had already passed or about to.

I’ll be having a couple of french beers and a shot tonight of that’s the case.

The noise you here will be Philip, turning

The Sky Royal correspondent now in Black, she wasn't earlier on

BBC saying they don't know the outcome and that they're hopefuly she'll pull through this?

PR basically, softening us up for whats to come

Regardless of age too

Might be waiting for Harry to finally arrive before announcing anything.

 

[Uther]

Sounds like Harry is not there yet...

 

[Deleted member 236143]

Probably be made official tomorrow I guess. I expect the family have a 24 hr window. Tomorrow Parliaments announcement. And then perhaps King Charles at 6pm tomorrow. But everything seems to be indicating she has passed away. It might all change as I doubt the people in charge are checking wikipedia for the guidelines.

Notice that

Yeah, not clear where he is
