RobertMugabe 437 Posted January 1, 2017 great pick and at least somebody that will make the news Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GossipGabe 333 Posted January 1, 2017 Ought to be in the top 5 but whatever at least he is on the list Well, he's just a former Eastern European king dethroned 70 years ago, he's more of a curiosity (being #1 in the order of precedence among royals regularly invited by Lizzy II) than a genuine household name (in the UK) like Vera Lynn and Kirk Douglas. Didn't even know he was ill , must of missed a trick with this one. Michael (95) is suffering from chronic leukaemia and metastatic epidermoid carcinoma (not the most aggressive cancer types in the world, but still more than a minor inconvenience) and has recently been widowed (in August 2016). http://royalcentral.co.uk/other/king-michael-of-romania-stepping-down-from-public-duties-after-cancer-diagnosis-57952 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted January 1, 2017 Didn't even know he was ill , must of missed a trick with this one. He was one of the most talked about people on the forum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted January 2, 2017 This is a good pick. His cancer ,age and death of his wife last year almost certainly means he has months left at most. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JTrost1234 21 Posted January 19, 2017 Please don't die. He was a king in The 1920's. That was before my mother was born, in 1928. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathbysnoosnoo 28 Posted January 19, 2017 As with queenie. When would it be OK for them to die? I don't get this please don't die shite, I understand obviously for relatives/friends or someone young but when people are really old and really ill when would it be OK for them to say their final goodbye?

He is going to die as are we all.95 is a great age for a man. 95 + terminal cancer= a very likely hit. Terminal cancer + any age = a very likely hit, that's terminal by definition (life expectancy or expected survival time < 6 months). OTOH I can't remember if anyone had used this phrase in conjunction with his cancer (chronic leukaemia and epidermoid carcinoma are normally relatively indolent, although the metastasis is bad news for him and I wouldn't be shocked if he died tomorrow). That being said and perhaps surprisingly, sometimes cancer kills really old people a bit slower since cell division slows down with age. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,438 Posted April 28, 2017 Rare update (if you can call it an update) Quote “King Michael I is permanently surrounded by an eminent medical team, by members of His Majesty’s Royal House detached in Switzerland and by two Orthodox nuns. The health of His Majesty is stable,” the release reads. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
