It's likely that she gave birth during the flight. Very tragic indeed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,588 Posted April 30, 2021 Those that are mainly taking part are people who hardly use social media and if they do have a social media presence, then 90% of the time someone on their team posts for them. So kinda pointless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This news has certainly pushed Princess Alexandra much further down my long list and hence a lot further away from making it onto any short or final list. Her lack of activity in many regards did cause me to speculate but as things stand with this news, the chances Princess Alexandra will make it onto any of my lists in 2022 is decreasing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arghton 6,745 Posted July 10, 2021 From what I've seen, Princess Michael of Kent seems like the only UK royal who doesn't seem to be in great health. The following years could be very quiet if she or the suprisingly active Corpse of Kent, his slightly less active wife Katharine or Queen Liz don't die.

Gooseberry Crumble 5,346 Posted October 20, 2021 The Queens cousin and working royal The Duke of Gloucester looks rather beetroot red in the face in the second photo. He's the second person on the left row for those who don't know what he looks like. Just thought it was worth highlighting to fellow deadpoolers. He is in his late seventies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted November 13, 2021 For the form watchers, at the Festival of Remembrance tonight, the Royals in attendance were: Charles and Camilla William and Kate Anne and Tim Duke and Duchess of Gloucester Prince and Princess Michael of Kent All looking ok. Photo in this report from the Beeb: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59275554 and more online if you shop around. For those not keeping up at the back, the Queen is resting up for the service at the Cenotaph tomorrow and, contrary to popular belief, is not on her deathbed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Duke of Kent I assumed was in a similar boat to the Queen, taking it easy ahead of tomorrow. Upon further inspection, this article: https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/festival-of-remembrance-line-up-a-full-list-of-royals-attending-commemorations-at-the-royal-albert-hall-168439/ suggests that Edward and Sophie, Alexandra and the Duke of Kent were all there too, but they don't appear on the main photos. EDIT: Examining the photo on the BBC article, I think James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise are possibly sat to the back left of William, which suggests Edward and Sophie may be just out of shot. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both listed as being in attendance tomorrow too. Thanks for clarifying! I thought it was a bit odd especially with regards to Princess Alexandra as she was at a royal evening function earlier this week at Windsor Castle and seemed in fine fettle.

The Duke of Kent was restricted to the Balcony this year (his equerry laid his weath for him this year) and I’m sad to say looks pretty rough. Princess Alexandra through looks in great shape though. My dad is convinced he saw Prince Andrew hiding behind the door on the balcony. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Princess Alexandra had a fall in 2019 I think and took a while to recover but it seems like she is in fine fettle these days. If the remembrance service is on BBC IPlayer you and others could perhaps check the balcony scenes and decide for yourselves if your Dad was right about Prince Andrew lurking in the background?
