The Queen Cancels Event Due to Illness

Yeah I’m sure people won’t even consider the fact that she’s almost 100 had anything to do with it

At least it’s not a heavy cold.

Coronavirus

It's her time of month.

It’s definitely the coronavirus.

I can't go through all this again so soon after the Philip Christmas debacle. I just don't have it in me.

Since "corona" means "crown," I think we have a winner.

Indeed.

R7 so does that mean the coronavirus is a royal virus?

Markle made the queen sick.

Meganitis

London Bridge is nearly down!

If she passes anytime soon, you can be sure Phillip will put a hit out on MM in a heartbeat.

r13 Implying he hasn't had one out since he heard the words "Grandpa I'd like you to meet Meghan"

R14 You have good point.

When will people stop putting other people above them based on whose snatch they came out of?

Not anytime soon it seems.

[quote] so if the Queen bites the dust

The way 2020's been going so far, I wouldn't be surprised if she did.

r16, she has no power. She has status and wealth--and if you think that's ever going to end, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.

So it was Meghan and not her kid diddler son that did it?

How quickly we forget.

R18 - She does, however, have enormous influence, which is another form of power.

She also has three constitutional powers: the right to be consulted, to encourage and to warn.

None of her PMs, with whom she meets weekly, have ever had anything but praise for her acuity, and she is privy to the State's most delicate secrets - state documents are sent to her each day no matter where she is for her review. As Head of State, she takes off the government's shoulders the responsibility for hosting high-ranking diplomats and other Heads of State. In short, she has access and a channel for influence that ordinary citizens do not have.

She may not have power, but she's no ordinary citizen, either, and stands apart from the rest of her over-privileged relatives.

As for the cold - kidding aside, they don't call pneumonia "the old man's friend" for nothing, and for her to cancel within 30 minutes of her arrival to an engagement she has kept since 1943 seems to me, er. significant.

Perhaps with the corona virus about they are just being careful and keeping her out of crowded rooms - if we are to believe the tabloids, half a dozen people in the UK have been admitted with possible symptoms of the virus.

It would be quite the irony, though, if Philip, who will be 99 in June, outlasted her.

If he does, the funeral, for Harry and Meghan, will take on a nightmarish quality, indeed, if Philip is the chief mourner rather than HM, who has gone out of her way to be so conciliatory toward them.

[R20], wow. Thank you. An erudite reply that deserves praise.

Philip at HM's funeral, as Harry and Meghan approach to offer condolences:

"Get that American whore out of here!"

Princess Anne: "Shall I do the honours, Papa?!:

Charles: "Oh for God's sake, Papa, can you just let it go just for today?!"

William, sotto voce: "You go, Grandad!"

Camilla: "Charles, darling, your blood pressure!"

Kate to Maria the Nanny: "Take George and Charlotte home at once!"

Nanny Maria: "Which home?"

FWIW, there was a Christmas a few years ago when she didn't appear and was reported "down with a heavy cold." I read somewhere, recently, they were all bricking it... she was very ill.

[quote]Okay, so if the Queen bites the dust, you know Harry and Meghan are going to be blamed for killing her due to stress.

And that would be factually incorrect?

[quote]FWIW, there was a Christmas a few years ago when she didn't appear and was reported "down with a heavy cold." I read somewhere, recently, they were all bricking it... she was very ill.

Datalounge went into meltdown.

It was Xmas/New Year 2016/17. She delayed travelling to Sandringham by a day, she was so ill, and missed Christmas Day service, New Year's Day service and was not seen in public until 8th January. She was super ill.

R24 - Of course, it wouldn't be factually correct - but when did that ever have to do with the price of tea?!

R23 I remember it fondly, all of DL huddled together in unity. Although after that experience, I've grown jaded and think we have a Queen who cried wolf. That bitch will NEVER die.

I think after Andrew Harry said fuck this shit. His dad and bro have no balls. Cueen Crumikilla? Megan's like..."girl, bye." *sorry that was bad....but sadly true. I propose Kenya Moore for president and Neenee Leaks fix the UK's bent crown grabbing childqueers

She’s the new Madonna

HM shall not "bite" any dust.

However, she may, in time, condescend to nibble specific minute particulates that have settled from gravity.

So long as they contain no garlic.

She hates garlic.

We haven't seen each other for years but we're back together, practicing now!

Mi mi mi mi mi.....

R28 - They said the same thing about her mother, the Queen Mum - the Eveready Royal Bunny. But the day came at last, nonetheless. I read that the Queen sat quietly with her mother who was propped up in a chair on pillows in front of the fireplace until she died. I'm not sure whether the Queen Mother was ever told that her younger daughter had died exactly eight weeks earlier.

So, HM lost her mother and her younger sister within two months. It must feel a very strange bracketing.

The QM attended Margaret's funeral.

[quote]I'm not sure whether the Queen Mother was ever told that her younger daughter had died exactly eight weeks earlier.

Well, considering she flew from Sandringham to Windsor to attend the funeral, I kinda think so.

"A light cold" means the Royal Pussy stinks

When you're 93, even a "light cold" could turn into something much worse. Best to stay in bed until it passes, at that age.

R11 I read “ Meganitis” as Megantitties two times. Poor girl!

I think the Queen has a few years left in her. But how strange would it be if she died just at the moment when the BRF is involved in more public drama than it has been in years (Harry and Meghan leaving, not to mention the far more serious issue of Andrew)?

R39 The buzz in the media is that it's just a mild winter cold, nothing serious. Than again in a [nearly] 94 year old nothing is minor. I do think she will be closer to 100 when she finally passes.

Her mother lived to be 101, so the Queen could make it that far. And her mother was a drunk to the very end.

Nothing in The Telegraph or The Times. So can't be regarded as serious.

I don't know, she looks pretty healthy in this pic. And that guy on her right is rumoured to be one of her favorites,

we love you betty get up

Has she eaten a cat, rat, dog, bat or koala purchased at a market recently?

The once and future Queen.

DL claimed him as brethren pretty early on, as I recall.

Wish you better, Ma'am!

R42 the BBC reported it, but it doesn't seem serious. Allegedly, part of the reason Philip went to hospital before Christmas was due to a lingering cold. I hope that's not what the Queen caught. Although she is robust, in your 90s, even a minor cold can linger for weeks.

There's no question that the stress from Meghan's schemes is what will have killed the Queen, but if she tragically dies before Brexit, it will make the celebration on the day bittersweet.

The Queen is Dead, Boys!

[quote]part of the reason Philip went to hospital before Christmas was due to a lingering cold. I hope that's not what the Queen caught

I sincerely hope she didn't catch it from him trying to do the royal nasty with her. He needs to be confined.

Meghan Markle better pray QEII recovers or lost forever will be her dream of playing Elizabeth I in Greta Girwig's punk musical biopic.

Box office poison, she'll be.

R49 channelling the perfect Sun opinion piece. Touching all bases!

Lizard woman 🦎

She's got..

R43 - And they say we British are repressed . . .

R49 - Oh, that's nonsense. Her Maj is going to be 94 in April. If she pops off from pneumonia it will be unsurprising, if shocking to the national spirit.

That said, I don't doubt that plenty of people will also suggest that her immune system was weakened from stress because of the Harkles. It will be more bad PR for the Sussexes, but much as I despise them both, I would be cynical about any such suggestion.

Ma'am has already surpassed, and so has her husband, the Biblical allotment of threescore and ten thanks to eating quality foods, not smoking, and access to the very best medical care available on the planet. So far as I know, she has escaped into her 90s without dementia, cancer, heart disease, neuro-degenerative diseases, diabetes, and all the other aids Mother Nature uses to weed out the species and make room for new blooms.

Her father died young of lung cancer - but he was also a heavy smoker, as was her sister, who died much earlier. HM, on the other hand, seems to have inherited her mother's incredible constitution along with a good deal of self-discipline of habit, including regular exercise.

But even those aren't enough to explain the seemingly complete absence of most of the other ills that effect seniors over 80. It is quite remarkable.

Remains to be seen if Charles has also inherited that constitution.

Charles drinks. And obviously a lot. Though that didn't keep his granny from going strong forever. Still he's a man and will have a shorter life span in any case. He has had the longest training period for a job in the history of the world by many decades.

I wonder how Charles feels about probably having a very short reign once he FINALLY gets to take the top spot as King?

I'd be a bit bitter myself.

If the Queen lives as long as her mother did, Charles won't become king until he's 79 years old!

Please don't be too harsh on me, Datalounge. I'm almost 60, and I'll be in tears when she dies. That's the longest performance in my life.

William won't see the throne until he's an OAP.

If you look at Charles, though, he's had a long life of comparative freedom to bang on about the things that matter to him... architecture and environment come to mind. The Prince's Trust has a been a massive accomplishment that's done a lot of good. (Harry could have done God knows what with Invictus if he'd stuck inside the system.) I think he will still talk about environment as king... I think he feels (and agree with his platform has) a moral imperative to keep up the pressure. I'd rather have him that than writing on bananas.

What’s the fuss about her age? US presidential candidates aren’t much younger these days. Geriatrics won’t quit!

She looks like shit!

R66 She's 94...what are you expecting? Scarlett Johansson?

R67, compared to pics from a few months ago she does look bad here. Hope she pulls through all this crap her offspring are causing.

One down, five more to go...

I'm an American, and when I mention my respect for her, people always mock me. Great Britain is a democracy. The people of Great Britain can always choose to change their government. I respect the British Head of State because I grew up being taught that was my place. But, even more, Queen Elizabeth is the only living person in my long {(58 years) life who has never let me down, or disappointed me. Sometimes, you need to look up to someone.
