How close to "everyone" knowing it does it have to be before it stops being a secret? To be fair, I'm assuming Bojo's actually telling the truth here, the various PMs in the last days were likely made aware because they'd have to drop everything and deal with her death at the moment it occured. Debateable whether Bojo could have gathered the required gravitas and looked suitably smart and bereft had she died on his watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
En Passant 3,741 Posted September 30 I'd assume he's telling the truth too, it must have been something - secret or not, why lie about it? Still, I suppose it's possible he did since pathological liars sometimes don't need a reason. Incidentally - probably need to change that "enrusted with barnacle, but still unsinkable' subtitle, since, well, she sank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His speech he made in the Commons, the one he likely would have made had he been PM at the time, was pretty good though. Better than Truss'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ulitzer95 12,584 Posted October 7 The late Queen's photographer of 50+ years, Anwar Hussein (wiki) dead at 85. Longest serving of any photographers to the royal family. His two sons are now royal photographers. Straight to a full Times obituary. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His two sons are now royal photographers. Straight to a full Times obituary. Does anyone know when he last got a photo of any of the senior working royals? Every article I can say implies that he was accredited to take photos of the Royal Family up until he died, but I can't seem to find when he last did so of someone who wasn't Megan or Harry.
