Good excuse not to meet Trump !

So that's answered my question - he's at Sandringham.

I have to say, though, that it's a little bit shortsighted to make him a godfather to your child ......

Rumours circulating on Twitter the past few hours that he has died, few tweets are saying that Buckingham Palace will make a statement at 5pm or 6pm although a few more said 2pm which we've now passed.

It's always an interesting read when you type in 'Prince Philip' in the search bar on Twitter. 

 

The gist of it is that someone accidentally started the rumour yesterday, Chinese whispers made that an official thing and it'd be announced by Buckingham Palace at 1700 (yesterday), people who didn't read that bit carried the rumour on to today, fuelled further by the fact that a few news sites have re-pubished an article saying what will happen when he does die. The announcement of his death was then pushed from 5pm yesterday to 2pm today, which, unless I've got dementia at 22, didn't happen. The Twitterverse have ignored this, and now come up with several conspiracies as to how he's been dead for months. So all is normal and the DoE is alive and well. Probably.

But he has been myseriously missing from major public engagements for t last few weeks, and they are wearing black on the BBC new channel ! Maybe he's not dead but close to it and no announcement will be made till he's gone.

Nah, Prince Philip will never die. He’s immortal, and immortals will never die. Twitter rumors may try to kill him, but they won’t be able to succeed...

From memory when the Queen Mum died, it was announced after 5pm even when she’d died at about 2pm?

 

Id just got home from football so it must have been after 5

Not mysteriously, no; he's retired.

Between 17.40 and 18.10, as the Youtube BBC2 version cuts out on that days repeat of Steptoe and Son.

Then again  the articles about what will happen when he dies have resurfaced so if we don't get anything in the next hour, we can file this as fake news (for the time being.)

 

ETA:Nothing in the 5:00 news headlines at all.

Right, so let's get this clear, this is the watertight evidence we have for the DoE being dead:

  • The sartorial darkness of BBC News presenters.
  • The (retired) man not being at work for a while.
  • 23-year-old Sam, unemployed, from Preston confirming on Twitter to her 141 followers that royal sources close to her say Buckingham Palace will be making a statement at 18:00 GMT.

Brilliant.

If anything is dead, it’s probably her career then.

And you all fell for it hook line and sinker, and just because more than 1 news presenter wears black doesn't mean he's actually died.

 

Have a good weekend all!

I did worry for a brief second that my post didn't exude enough sarcasm...

I am losing hope that it's more than rumours.

It would be enough evidence for Donald Trump to announce it !
