Yep. I mentioned that in the original post

IIRC Charlotte would technically be in line to become Princess Royal when Anne snuffs it but it's not a right. Would be down to her Dad when he takes the throne

Titlewise Duke of York would be on a par with Duke of Edinburgh I'd have thought. So all certain issues aside it probably wouldn't be any sort of a significant upgrade in title for Andy anyway

Condition being described as 'serious'

Leg injuries. Moderate to critical injuries according to the LA Fire Dept. That's him finished competitively I would think given the problems he's been having injury wise the last few years

Doubt they'd even wait for a scenario like that. I reckon at least one of the Mail or the Express will imply that she's at fault in someway

I think even if he leaves hospital he'll be gone within the year IMO.

Hmmmmm. So it'll be at least 10 days then that he'll be in

True but then we did have Robert Jobson on Aussie TV suggesting he was quite ill.

Even if he comes out how he leaves will be telling IMO. If we actually see him walk out like with previous hospitalisations he's probably ok for a while yet.

Cheney will be another Kissinger I reckon even after all those heart attacks

Sandy Gall former ITN Journalist and News Presenter. Turns 94 in October

He may well be ok but William is hardly going come out and say nah he's fucked.

Sky Sport Italy

Christ that was quick. Shows what a bastard Covid is

Jonathan Gash (Real Name: John Grant) author of the Lovejoy books which were subsequently made into the TV series. 88 this year. Will presumably get a QO at least on the BBC website because of the TV series.

Luca Attanasio Italian Ambassador to the Democratic Republic Of Congo killed along with 2 others in an Ambush

AFAIK it doesn't necessarily have to be a black tie anymore. Just once it's a sombre colour i.e. not bright pink or red etc...

Not too surprising that the British Media might be more restrained in reporting things like this. The fact that it seems to be Tues at the earliest before he's out will make it a week since he was admitted. That's a long time merely for observation. May not be quite at the end but wouldn't be surprising if he's gone this year

Yep next 48 hours will tell us where this is heading.

Leaving extra clothes/nightwear for him perphaps give he may not have brought as much as he may not have originally expected to stay this long.

This is what I'm thinking is a possibility as well

Yep that's my recollection too. Turned on the Television on a Saturday morning and the BBC were reporting it. To the best of my recollection there wasn't a huge amount of talk about her prior to this

That's an interesting one. Peter Sissons announced the Queen Mother's death but don't know if he just happened to be on presenting duties that day anyway Martyn Lewis was called into to front the coverage relating to Diana. Granted that was in the middle of the night

Nothing tonight then anyway at least
