YoungWillz 20,865 Posted February 4, 2017 To be honest I think they're liable to die within days of each other. Or months, I mean look at Liz Smith and Caroline Aherne... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieJones 63 Posted February 4, 2017 You receive a "Like" from me for posting something relevant. Yes, in the past we have debated if losing Phil will cause her to shuffle off quickly herself. You are likely to find the discussion in the earlier pages of this thread, I believe. FWIW, I am in the camp that believes she will go within six months of Phil. Others here hold a strongly contrary position, however that she will just keep chuggging along without him until she reaches somewhere around her mum's age. I think she will chug along without him. After all her mother survived quite nicely without George VI for decades. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieJones 63 Posted February 4, 2017 I love that tiara and necklace set. I think the earrings and bracelet are matching too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted February 4, 2017 Next Monday will be her sapphire jubilee, marking 65 years on the throne: http://www.themercury.com.au/news/world/queen-elizabeth-ii-to-celebrate-sapphire-jubilee-marking-65-years-on-the-throne/news-story/f74084f050da7f24af7aee682427ad71 Another milestone bites the dust. Also, if they both survive until November 20th, they will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary. Given they are both on the list this year, it will be an interesting race to Nov 20 to see if the Committee are right or not. If the Committee are wrong, the Queen and Duke well deserve to celebrate! To make a relevant point (for once), I don't think Liz will be offsetting her orb any time soon. However Phil the Greek may do his last Kerkiraikos. Will she survive therefore without him is the big question. Just want her to carry on as long as possible to wind Charles up. I want Charles to be so old when he gets crowned they need to plan toilet breaks into the coronation and don't dare put the crown on his head. Taking on a head of state role will after most people have retired... Sounds sensible Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rockhopper penguin 2,265 Posted February 6, 2017 Following centuries of tradition, Her Majesty today climbed the Royal Elm in Hyde Park and flung herself in the arms of the gathered ensemble of courtiers, all of whom share their birthdays with her ascencion to the throne.

Grim Up North 3,715 Posted February 7, 2017 I quite fancy her in that pic - not sure if it's the black and white, that's she's laughing or the fact that it's about 50 years ago :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,372 Posted February 8, 2017 Well if Deathray keeps posting Libby photos, we can look back on some of The Globes royal correspondent's greatest hits... (and not the ones I tend to bring up) (from 2013) (They really don't like poor Camilla...) (This one is a favourite - its from early 2013, and predicts months to live for both Queenie and Valerie Harper...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
