They’ve all been isolated in a bubble since the start of the pandemic. The only thing that gets in and out of the estate are food deliveries. Ooh interesting! I would love to know what Princess Anne thinks of Meghan Markle or something juicy like that if you have any such gossip please?! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dying Probably 578 Posted February 17, 2021 28 minutes ago, YouOnlyDieOnce said: If this zombie actually croaks, the QE2 could then die of a broken heart soon after. Perhaps Charlie boy could then have his long awaited coronation this year? However, I still think that Charles will die before Philip. My grandfather always said that Charles would never get the throne. Ever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's much greater evidence of Charles being a mortal being than Lizzie. At this point I'd be shocked if she died before 100. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She’ll want to surpass Louis XIV’s 72 year reign which would make her the worlds longer serving proper monarch ever. I think this occurs when she turns 98. After that she’ll just be reigning for shits and giggles and trolling Charles about it. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Man About The Forum 78 Posted February 17, 2021 As much as he is easy to take the piss out of, his wartime service was much, much more than "just being there" - especially his actions during the invasion of Italy. Probably would have risen very high up the Royal Navy if he didn't have to give it up. Also...how many other living people are there who were at the Japanese surrender ceremony as a commissioned officer? He's also in the line of succession to the British throne as a descendent of Sophie of Hanover, but a long, long way down it (and about 100th when he was born). 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep have seen it said elsewhere that if George VI had of lived longer to something like his late 70's Early 80's It's likely Philip would have probably become First Sea Lord 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,573 Posted February 17, 2021 This is probably so that Meghan doesn't get all the spotlight as everyone is worried about Phillip, lol. The royal family like to one up each other and because Meghan announced pregnancy after Princess Eugenie had her baby I thought Kate was going to do something soon after. Nope it's Phillip's health getting headlines again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,233 Posted February 17, 2021 The poor bastard had no choice but to live - they've minted the coins, printed the stamps and made the tea towels for his birthday. Unless they have hedged their bets with the designs. So instead of saying Happy Birthday, they just give his centenary dates 1921-2021. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,695 Posted February 18, 2021 I heard somewhere that he's been joking with the hospital staff, any good sources that have confirmed this? I'm also interested in what that joke (or those jokes) was/were about. I remember that once in the 90s, was it in 1991 or 1992 he said, when asked if he wanted to live to 100, "bits and pieces are already falling off me." Was it his 70th birthday?
