Spade_Cooley 9,819 Posted December 20, 2024 Considering they're going to have to find a lot of new names for the 2025 DL, have absolutely zero objection to the committee shoving Chuckie in the low 30s. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I'm going to faint from shock! My view - they put Julie Walters on this years list just in case her news turned bad, they can do that for the bloody King. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty sure someone on here shared some inside info they received that it's bladder cancer but not clear on the stage. If it's stage 3 bladder cancer I unfortunately have a pretty good idea in how it's likely going to play out (My grandfather died from it, it was a year and a half from diagnosis to death.)

There's no indication it "must be" that. Carter had "terminal" cancer and survived. Per The Times: Quote Announcing a return to public duties, the King is pictured arm-in-arm with the Queen on a sunlit stroll through the gardens at Buckingham Palace. The messaging is clear: he’s (nearly) out of the woods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be a few years yet but would still think he might be worth a slot lower down the list I imagine that they wouldn’t leak words such as optimism if they think death is coming in the next few months. Ditto it also probably means they would also slowly prepare people for his death as it gets nearer but without making a big announcement that it is terminal.

I'd imagine it's a case of someone writing hundreds of tweets saying "The queen dies on xxx date" and simply removing all but the correct one once she'd actually died. I've seen the same thing happen before with a YouTube channel which "predicted" the death of major celebrities: the videos only gained traction after the celebrities had died: once all the videos with incorrect dates had been removed. It's a very weird thing to do to try to gain notoriety for yourself, but people eat it up... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the length of his reign will be comparable to his grandfather’s: about 15 years. Thus he will last to about 2037 in his late 80s/early 90s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
