Toast 16,155 Posted August 29, 2022 1 hour ago, drol said: Oh, no! Where to start with that. Quote As things currently stand, the new prime minister, either Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, will instead travel north to meet her at Balmoral, the first time that Her Majesty has undertaken this duty away from Buckingham Palace in 70 years. Perhaps she thinks they are not worth putting herself out for. Boris certainly isn't. How far have our standards fallen. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, worth noting that there's never been a Prime Ministerial change in September as people tend to know the Queen is at Balmoral that month - and that was before she was 96. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talkative Finn 47 Posted August 29, 2022 Once again, with a wheelchair she could attend any appointment and occasion easily. I wonder if she is having spinal fractures (often associated with osteoporosis)? My late Mom had some of them and definitely could not move until they settled down.

Lafaucheuse 4,051 Posted August 29, 2022 Wouldn’t be surprised is she doesn’t go to Braemar games but ends up going to London for the new prime minister. Far more important and symbolic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Charlotte's Controller 195 Posted August 30, 2022 Let us hope the Queen has no probing questions for Liz Truss. Not good to be absent for a meeting or to be tarred with the same brush as her predecessor. The queen will be looking for some answers to her increasing power costs. Responses like I don’t have the detail for that, my (Peter Priciple) cabinet has it under control and we are restoring standards will not cut the mustard.

YoungWillz 21,066 Posted September 1, 2022 Picture the scene. Boris has his final humiliation, as the Jock hating little Englander selfish fat cunt has to go in to meet Her Majesty in Scotland (fnah fnah) to give up his position as Prime Minister. Liz Truss waits nervously outside. After all, apart from the hustings has Truss ever been in Scotland in her airhead life? Boris stumbles out. "She died right before I was about to say the words, Liz!" What happens next? Is Charlie available in case the Queen snuffs it?

Moved with her family to outskirts of Glasgow when she was 4, and attended West Primary School in Paisley Visited Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Peterhead, September 2018 Visited Moray, March 2021 Visited Glasgow, July 2021 Visited Rosyth, September 2021 Agree with you she's a bit of an airhead, but seriously, Google is your friend. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

openviews 334 Posted September 2, 2022 Her not being seen since July, not even in her car and having daily visits from Charles seems to be a little concerning. Interesting to see what Charles says tomorrow at the games when he will no doubt be asked how the Queen is and there will probably be a photo/video released of her next week with Boris/Truss. Otherwise you've got to assume she is in some way incapacitated. We may be near the stage where the Queen will never be seen out and about in public again apart from the photos and videos released from within the palace or when they prop her up for the Christmas speech. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Re the daily visits from Charles, that was reported at the same time as this: "Prince Andrew, 62, is staying at the main house, having moved in the day after the Queen arrived this month. They are said to be locked in intense talks over his future." So my guess would be he's keeping an eye on the Andrew situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
