Imelda 621 Posted February 15, 2016 From last weeks Popbitch Is everything OK with the Queen? The only reason we ask is that the Arts Council have just sent out a document entitled "Advice And Guidance: Category A Death" which lets organisations know how they should conduct their affairs in the event of the death of a senior member of the Royal Family. Although they do try to broaden the advice out for other "notable persons", they return to the theme of QE2 carking it regularly. The most interesting part? We learned that while Charles, Camilla, Wills and Kate all classify as a Category A member of the Royal Family, Harry doesn't.

Deathray 2,941 Posted February 16, 2016 Here is the actual document: http://files-eu.clickdimensions.com/artscouncilorguk-acjzb/files/categoryaguidanceforartsandcultureorganisations.pdf Yep, Phil is there. The immediate usage of this is much more likely to apply to Philip. He's been in and out of his hospital for a while and he is 95 in a few months. I'd fully expect the Queen to follow in quick succession after Philip, given that regular sex contributes to people's health status regardless of age, you'd expect her health to decline after he goes.

Someone probably just thought it was time to do some contingency planning and had an intern put these guidelines together. Given it comes from the arts community, it may have even be prompted by the sudden announcement of Bowie's death. Perhaps someone on the rock/pop music side of the arts community didn't know what to do and so asked the council for help, making someone think about how they should handle major deaths, royalty included.

Deathray 2,941 Posted March 9, 2016 Complains to the press watchdog about the sun airing her views on Brexit. Maybe a "Fuck it, I'm dying, might as well stick one up Murdoch." Can't see why she'd risk upsetting Murdoch if she wasn't on the way, given how easily he could tear down the monarchy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Happy Reaper 223 Posted March 9, 2016 Here is the actual document: http://files-eu.clickdimensions.com/artscouncilorguk-acjzb/files/categoryaguidanceforartsandcultureorganisations.pdf I love the paragraph at the top of page three, about making an initial response. "This... would usually take the form of an expression of sorrow." Usually? Under what circumstances would it be anything else? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 10,979 Posted March 9, 2016 I don't know, there are some ominous signs appearing. A couple of months ago, I already posted a photo and said that this was the first time that I could see her dying before him (Philipp). Maybe her inner circle is noticing the first signs of a decline, or a terminal illness. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe her inner circle is noticing the first signs of a decline, or a terminal illness.The thing is we know it will happen within the next decade, or 12 years at the most if she lives as long as her Mum. So it is something that will occur in the short to medium term future, so perhaps her inner circle are simply gearing up and thinking about it more, as are other organisations, such as that arts council with their action plan guidelines we were discussing above. Maybe there is something more to it all, though, like you suspect but I thought she looked better in Decwember's Christmas message than she had last year.

Moreover, she's forgotten about Prince William and Kate's wedding date and often mistakes Charles for her husband, Prince Phillip."
