Toast 16,026 Posted December 31, 2016 Phil not become the prince regent?whatever the fuck that is, no. Regent means reigning or ruling. A regent is someone who acts in the position of the monarch if the monarch is unable to rule for any reason, for instance because s/he is a minor, or is suffering from a prolonged illness. A well-known example is the Prince Regent (later George IV) who was regent while his father George III was incapable through insanity. If the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William were all to die unexpectedly within the next 15 years or so, leaving Prince George as King, a regent would be appointed. But it would be unlikely to be Philip, someone younger would be chosen. HTH 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Imelda 610 Posted December 31, 2016 Here we go again! may possibly miss the New Years Day service at Sandringham tomorrow. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/queen-miss-new-years-day-9541211 Intriguing. Though of couse we must remember that keeping her away from Philip if she's contagious is probably a wise move and might well be the main driver behind it. Maybe.

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 31, 2016 Intriguing indeed. But for the fact that they are both sick, I would start to become more suspicious that "heavy cold" might be a codeword for something more seriously wrong with her. BTW, the paper has also just published its own take on the "What Happens if She Dies?" guide: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/what-happens-queen-dies-12-9539639 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted December 31, 2016 If it is going to be a "last minute decision" as to whether to attend the New Year's celebration and she really is "up and about" it sounds like she is well on the road to recovery: http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/queen-to-make-last-minute-decision-on-attending-new-years-day-service-a3430276.html I'd say yellow alert over... for now.

drunkasaskunk 193 Posted December 31, 2016 January 3rd is my prediction for her to become an ex-queen (just like George Michael) and for us to get an extra day off work (just like the Royals have been doing for centuries) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She is [allegedly] up and about now and is going to make a last minute decision about whether to go to the New Year's Day celebrations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
