Cerberus 304 Posted October 19, 2022 I suppose at 95 you're not that fussed about being out of a job. She actually retired as long ago as 2014, due to a battle with arthritis. Sufficiently famous to be worthy of a slot in the 50 in her own right, I would say, and would make a fitting replacement for the Queen. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted November 11, 2022 The King has appointed 6 new members of the Order of Merit, all of whom were supposedly chosen by Queen Elizabeth II days before she died. Problem: when she was alive there were only 5 vacancies. The 6th vacancy was created when the King ascended the throne. So are Buckingham Palace lying, or did the Queen know her death was imminent… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
