    https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/only-working-royals-allowed-balcony-29641046 Nothing especially revelatory here but I thought it was worth highlighting/ drawing attention to on a deadpooling forum. In this article about which members of the royal family will be on the balcony for the Coronation it says that that sources claim the attendance of the Duke of Kent and his sister Princess Alexandra won't be confirmed until the actual day owing to individual health problems.

Here is a list of the most likely choices because of age or health reasons: Eva Marie Saint *1924, Supporting Lee Grant *1925, Supporting Estelle Parsons *1927, Supporting Gena Rowlands *1930, Honorary Rita Moreno *1931, Supporting Ellen Burstyn *1932, Leading Shirley Jones *1934, Supporting Shirley MacLaine *1934, Leading Sophia Loren *1934, Leading Judi Dench *1934, Supporting Maggie Smith *1934, Leading and Supporting Julie Andrews *1935, Leading Glenda Jackson *1936, 2x Leading Jane Fonda *1937, 2x Leading Liza Minnelli *1946, Leading Liza with a Z would be the only re-entry, the others would be newbies on the list.

    I do think we agree yes but the "bad drop IF they die" is just weird. They're bad drop or they're not, no matter if they die or not in the year. Every person dying after having been on the list and having been dropped is a "bad drop" if we follow your reasoning.

    Wan Haifeng (1920-2023) Wan less now! Actually no wan left from Deng's advisory board! Age at death: 102 Known health issues: Bedridden and unable to speak in 2019, selling all his memorabilia as he also had dementia. Widowed in 2019, on IV medications in 2022. Cause of death: It was his fucking time. Alignment: Last member of Deng's advisory commission responsible for Tien An Men. Also one of the last two generals from 1989 alive, the other being supreme cunt Chi Haotian. Mostly good riddance.
