Might have just been newsreader mistake. He didn't attend last year despite still driving in January this year so not evidence alone he is close to the end. Princess Beatrice wedding next year - he might attend that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,282 Posted November 10, 2019 Think you are reading too much into his absence from the Cenotaph. This involves laying a wreath, listening to some speeches and then watching a march past of 10,000 veterans. In other words it's extremely boring and no one in their right mind would go to it if they didn't have to (assuming they aren't a veteran, boy scout or someone else with skin in the game). Wait until someone organises carriage racing (or page 3 girl nude mud-wrestling) in the mall. If he still doesn't put in an appearance then I'll believe he's dead (or about to be). Otherwise I'll continue to believe he just found something more interesting to do this morning than lay a wreath and watch a march past. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was also patron of a number of military organisations . So he has 'skin in the game'. However as this is tbe second year running for a no show it seems to be Royal Family policy rather than impending death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
markb4 892 Posted November 28, 2019 Apparently Prince Charles has gone to meet his father to discuss the Prince Andrew situation, but Twitter-ers suspect something else: https://www.marieclaire.co.uk/news/prince-philip-health-concern-676222 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would said punishment be along the lines of say, 50 lashes from a 17 year old Dominatrix? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Although you'd assume if either died between now and Thursday the royal house and the PM would agree to announce it after the election. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,580 Posted December 17, 2019 My best mates dad works for a portaloo company. They have been put on standby to go to Hyde Park - He is thinking it could be something to do with Phillip or the queen being seriously ill. Unless anyone knows of a random event happening in Hyde Park soon that doesn't have a name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JQW 281 Posted December 17, 2019 It's rare to have events in Hyde Park at this time of year - unless it's for the annual dip in the Serpentine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
