I asked a friend about this today. He wasn't sure but thinks the Prince is in hospital with renal issues. Pretty common in older people. How serious it is I'm not sure. My own gran was in and out of hospital like a yo-yo with it for years in her 80s and 90s. Heart failure got her in the end though.
@arghton, there are some serious problems with this pool:
1)It won't be over in a reasonable time. Having to pick young people for countries in which you could not find better means this will last about thirty years. I'll be long dead (or hopefully very demented) in thirty years.
2)Only you and me are playing. Theres should be more competitors.
My proposal is to turn this into a "One for Continent" game like @Youth in Asia suggested. It would be much quicker and many rounds could be done, like in the Silver Screen Pool, and there surely will be much more partecipation. Obviously that's one of your games, so the final decision is up to you.
Princess Margaret had much more severe health issues than the Duke of Edinburgh though. I'm still not reading too much into this in all honesty, I still expect him to be discharged sometime next week. Think they're just being careful - no significant signs of concern from the family just yet.
John Caldon, Australian media man who is CEO and Chair of Flame Media (who also have U.K. based projects) is listed under “Prayers” at Westminster Abbey.
He’s also the partner of Aussie presenter Lyndey Milan (wiki).
Don’t know anything more than that but borderline obit territory.
Watching some of the new episodes taped second half of 2020 and imo this is correct. He's certainly got the post-stroke look and sound to him like Andrew Marr when he returned to TV.
Harry is a much, much closer likeness to Philip than James Hewitt.
And he has the colouring of his mother's side of the family.
I have more belief in the claims Andrew is the result of an affair between the Queen and Lord Porchester, in all honesty.
I'm already looking forward to voting in May and possibly being able to talk to an actual person like when the library was open.
Had to move across the country really suddenly so I never had the chance to meet anyone here before all this. And my lease prevents me having any pets, FML.
Next door got seven guinea pigs before lochdown though so I might take a few of those once I'm allowed to do more than chat over the fence. Put wee rosettes on them. I bet there's at least one looks like a Tory.
The oldest has died first...
