Sounds like she has a chance to be a good pick this time, it only took 8 years. 

God Bless those that might have been  unwavering and had her on their list for 8 years as well.

My first shadow list was in 2017. Pru was on that. Never dropped her.

I bet those are 8 years Tim and her kids have cherished, though.

‘A broken door is always the last to creak’, I think Tim will go before her and then her days/weeks later

Latest update

 

 

"Despite being impeccably dressed in heels and with manicured nails, Pru is noticeably frail and needs help to walk.

 

Her fading hearing, even with a couple of aids in – she describes them as her ‘ears’ – means she struggles to follow conversation. But she now also has the detached, unfocused air of someone who has progressed to the more advanced stages of vascular dementia."

 

Despite the title making it sound like her husband is having mental issues of his own, apparently he has a sound memory and just can't keep up with all the grandchildren they keep finding they have. Can't really blame them considering I don't even remember her all of the names of my first cousins let alone anything past that!

Pictured with Queen Camilla today. She's beginning to look very confused but still looks pretty good for a nonagenarian who has had dementia for twenty plus years.

Timothy is still looking fairly robust for someone who will be 90 later this year. Both could easily pass for ten years younger than they both are.

New interview with The Times with new pics.

Discusses her marriage. Still working as she said retirement would bore her. 

Ain't dying this year. May even outlive husband Timothy West, 89, at this rate.

Scales is a lesson for DeathList – unless you know the type of dementia affecting the subject then don't put them on the list. Scales was officially diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2014, but was showing symptoms of it as far back as 2001. It really isn't as quick to progress as other forms such as Alzheimer's.

She even looks and sounds better than some 92 yo without dementia would. I bet she’ll Stay in the list until she goes now, it’s too risky at that age. Glad she won’t be a hit soon though.

Wouldn't bet on that if they need to drop 21 people!

Guessing you just read the title rather than the article itself?

 

She’s pre-recorded a voiceover as Queen Victoria when she’s old, and they’ll play the audio during the play. She’s not appearing on stage.

 I read it. It's just over her 400th time playing Queen Vic since 1979. This one's now at the Edinburgh festival. It still sounds impressive I think for someone who showed signs of dementia before I was born. Most would expect her to take a minute to say a syllable.

Speech isn’t usually affected with dementia until the very end, its memory.

 

Parroting a few lines after someone next to you says them, or reading them off a sheet ain’t groundbreaking stuff, even for a dementia sufferer.

 

William Russell appeared in Doctor Who even after he was totally away with it.

 

Nonetheless, I would favour dropping her next year for someone in a worse condition.

Kudos to the "you know, I think Timothy looks worse than Prunella" brigade in this thread.

I wouldn’t be shocked if she doesn’t last six weeks.

Definitely not a name worth dropping after all following this news.
