The Queen Has Covid

Cry, Klan Grannies, cry!

Probably caught it off Charles.

The Duchess of Cornwall, soon:

Did she get Covid by fucking that Bear King from the other thread?

You find it amusing that a 95-year-old great-grandmother has Covid, R1?

Twas Covid killed the Queen…

This is not good

Light duties… She needs to rest and take it easy. Given her age and all. Let the woman rest for a change so she can recover properly.

OP worse than Oiver Cromwell !

I want the old parasite to die but I prefer a stroke.

^ They're really obsessed with this "light duties" stuff. I love and admire the Queen but, at her age, no-one is going to criticise her for taking it easy, if only for a while.

[quote] Light duties…

At her age means, she can get out of bed and go to the toilet.

Prepare for King Charles the Viral

^Agreed. She’s allowed to or better yet she’s earned the right to take care of herself. Cancel her schedule for a couple of weeks. That shouldn’t be to much to ask.

Looks like Harry will be moving up one in the line of succession. Covid always seems mild at first.

[Quote]"Her Majesty is experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week."

Light duties? What does she do anyway? Brits crack me up with this shit!

Speedy recovery, Ma'am!

She's be giving royal assent from her deathbed, bitches!

"Light duties" = repairing trucks.

Nobody wants her plague ridden ass around them doing any kind of duties. What a spaz.

This is depressing.

R20, it probably just means that she's reading her papers from the red despatch boxes (you disrespectful cunt).

R22 = Klan Granny

And so it begins….

Light duties=Fighting an oil rig fire in the Gulf of Mexico

Is it of severity to cancel my candlelight supper?

It's concerning, but if anyone her age has a great chance of only getting mild symptoms, it's HMQ. She'll assuredly be triple vaxxed already, and equally assuredly will get Paxlovid, which if given soon after the onset of symptoms reduces the risk of serious illness by 90%. Paxlovid is way better than the stuff they gave Twitler.

Even if her symptoms are mild, she'll have the kind of medical scrutiny the rest of us could only dream of getting by the time we were in the ICU. "Light duties" is just Comms-speak to reassure people she's not flat on her back on a ventilator. For the same reason, they will continue to say it until she is either recovered or dead.

BAH GAWD KANG ITS PRINCESS DIANA WITH THE COVID CHAIRRR!!!! AS GAWD IS MAH WITNESS HER MAJESTY IS BROKEN IN HALF!!!!

camilla parker bowles gave Covid to the Queen

And right before this charles and william were going on and on about all the things they want to take from the Queen the minute she dies. charles is planning his coronation, he forced his mother to publicly say she wants camilla to be called Queen consort, and they've even been licking their chops over what they want from her estate.

kate and william want Windsor Castle. The 26 room apartment at Kensington Palace and their 10 bedroom country house (all newly remodeled) aren't good enough for william and kate. Nothing is good enough for them. I'm sure the taxpayers will have to pay to refurbish these new places too.

If the 95-year-old Queen survives this, it'll highlight how much progress has been made in the fight against this virus since 2020.

Yeah, whatever

Light duties = servicing only half of the Palace Guards.

[quote]It's concerning, but if anyone her age has a great chance of only getting mild symptoms, it's HMQ.

Yes, and that is concerning as well.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

and no... I'm not referring to you queens either.

The Queen is strong and made out of good stuff. She will survive this nicely.

God Save The Queen!

The way you neurotics think the tough old thing is going anywhere😂She’ll outlive us all

Good. ^^ I’m very sad by this news.

This is serious at her age because COVID will more than likely make her sterile.

Sing it loud and proud!!

[quote]😂She’ll outlive us all

Of course she will. Betty knows how much money is riding on all of these Jubilee events--especially on that big celebration happening on Thursday, June 2, 2022. She'll hang on until that time once again showing us all that she puts her nation and people first! She won't do a Betty White.

That's my gal! All about service to the nation!

I don't like this news.

What a coincidence.

The Met Police were opening an investigation to charles former right hand man for selling knighthoods.

And then charles goes out and about without a mask and contracts Covid. Then hotfoots it over to visit his mother

I guess he's hoping the Met won't want to investigate a new King

This is very strange. She stays pretty isolated. I don't think she is even making public appearances. It had to be someone close to her.

Interestingly timed also for the news of Andrew's payoff to be announced, to land, and to be fulminated against. Four days later this story, at least as big from the Palace. News management, I thinks it's called.

I'll send a wreath

[quote] And then Charles goes out and about without a mask and contracts Covid. Then hotfoots it over to visit his mother, the Queen. I guess he's hoping the Met won't want to investigate a new King.

Is this from Shakespeare?

I just saw what I presume is a recent picture of her. She lost a lot of weight and aged 10 years (I know that is hard to do at 95). End of an era is soon approaching I think.

R46, don't forget the press release.

BTW, you OK?

Queen Elizabeth II has tested positive for COVID-19

LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday. Britain's longest-reigning monarch and a fixture in the life of the nation, the queen reached the milestone of 70 years on the throne on Feb. 6, the anniversary of the 1952 death of her father, King George VI. She will turn 96 on April 21.

I like her. In the war, when the palace was bombed, she said she was glad because now she felt she could look east-enders in the eye. (I’m American so I can only guess that “east-enders” is code for people whose birth set them up for a whole lot less than hers did.)

It’s an odd feeling to have — me being bombed puts me more on an even keel with all you people who never had the position and wealth I did — but it makes sense. Shared property destruction doesn’t erase the fact that in her case it was a bit of a large castle that was bombed while in theirs it was their entire flat, but she did see the grotesquerie of the class system into which she was born and she did feel for her people and want to serve them..

I hope, when she dies, that she goes easily.

This is probably Meghan Markle's fault.

R19 you got it love. Diesel repair pays the bills.

Interesting that some obese Sussex Squad stinkfish like R52 always feels the need to bring up Fat Markle . . .

R51. You are thinking of her mother.

We need a sarcasm font for illiterates like r54

They need to change this site to Royalslounge.

[quote] I like her. In the war, when the palace was bombed, she said she was glad because now she felt she could look east-enders in the eye.

That was her mother, who was then queen.

But I thought COVID was over?

Muhahahahaha!

I bet she caught Covid from those god dammed corgis!

SHE'S DEAD! SHE DIED IN HER SLEEP! JUST BEEN ANNOUNCED

What?^^

R62 RIP

R51, I like the Queen and the Royals generally but I like the pendant to the story you mention (which was about the Queen Mother, as has been observed): George VI, the Queen's father, was sympathising with a bombed-out Eastender and told him that his own home had been bombed as well, to which the surly Eastender replied, "Which one, sir?"

Zzzz, R62.

Oh, and btw, FF, fucktard.

Wishing death on an elderly, frail grandmother who never asked to be Queen. How charming, R10..

Only liars and racists get Covid

Thanks to those who remember history better than I do! (I was R51 and mistook which queen it was whose palace was bombed.

And to think that right within arm’s reach I have the special commemorative edition magazine that covered all things Elizabeth for her Platinum Jubilee. It’s embarrassing.

But I’m not transferring my affections. I’ll just expand them to include her mother.

She’ll be fine. The chances of someone who is triple-vaccinated DYING of COVID, even at 95, are minimal. You don’t live to 95 without a strong immune system and healthy cardiovascular and respiratory systems.

[quote]Looks like Harry will be moving up one in the line of succession.

As long as he and the Grifter-Wife remember they’re ALWAYS behind me.

Tweet by Amanda Guinzberg:

Has Piers accused Meghan of giving the Queen Covid yet?

[quote]I just saw what I presume is a recent picture of her. She lost a lot of weight and aged 10 years (I know that is hard to do at 95)

I noticed that too. For the very time when I watched videos like that in this link I noticed how frail she has become. I mean... I guess that is expected because after all she is 95 (closer to 96). I thought the they might be cutting her clothes a little wider as a means of making it a bit easier to dress her everyday but yes, she has lost weight and she is slumping a bit more. However, we don't know the depth of what she has gone through. The loss of Philip must have weighed on her very heavily and then you have all of the other stuff too. I suppose at this age you just have to make sure she eats and is kept warm. Her hair (whether it's a wig or not) looks great!

She’s fine. She sends her love.

[quote]The Queen Has Covid

Couldn't happen to a better anachronism!

R70 The Queen is a woman who never had the stress of school exams. Never worried about child care, keeping the lights on or paying a mortgage. She’s never had to cook, clean or do laundry. Her children were shipped off to boarding school. I would hope that her immunity is good.

How's yours, with that chip on your shoulder?

Who cares? Mother of a family of parasites, individuals who have never worked a day.

This is a PR stunt to try and get sympathy for paying off the victim of her molester son.

R76, leading a rarified, coddled life doesn't boost the immune system. Going out there on public transport, mixing with crowds, that's what gets it up.

R76. Her stresses in life were limited to getting shot at in public and facing the constant risk of being assassinated, speaking live to millions of people, receiving daily critiques of every aspect of her life, having to host a number of vile heads of state, undertaking months long foreign tours while a young mother, and working into extreme old age. Sounds like a picnic to me.

You can certainly question the utility of what she does while acknowledging it hadn’t been an easy life.

Oh please, she’s had one of the easiest lives on the planet.

R80 gets it.

Great responsibilities for seventy years, offset by immense luxury in a variety of glorious locations. The Queen could give it her all, knowing that long vacations in beautiful castles were also part of the deal.

Hers is a unique position, into which she was born. Comparisons are futile. She's done it with incomparable aplomb, but the support system of deep wealth enabled that aplomb.

People who think she is unlikely to die of this are dumb.

I’m really not impressed

Some trans rights activist on Twitter said "I hope she does from it" and got their account suspended. Oopsie!

*dies

She must have caught it from one of her many fuckbuddies.

Not just any trans activist, R86 - it was Grace "Alan Rickman in drag" Lavery.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke!

I loved Alan Rickman. Don't compare this crazy AGP to Alan!

r86 Good they are clearly despicable and consumed with malice.

So if she dies then Charles will have murdered her

Boris and Dominic Cummings., r93.

True, R83, but there have been many monarchs who had the support system of deep wealth and barely did the job at all. Anyone who works till they're over 90 has my admiration (apart from Rupert Murdoch, obviously).

[quote]Interestingly timed also for the news of Andrew's payoff to be announced, to land, and to be fulminated against. Four days later this story, at least as big from the Palace. News management, I thinks it's called.

Yes, R45, I could see the Queen, charles and camilla lying about having Covid. That andrew news disappeared, like magic

Rubbish.

R93 I'm pretty sure that Charles would be fine with that.

R86, R89 what do they achieve by that?

What does Grace Lavery (real name Jos, by the way) achieve by saying he hopes the Queen dies? Gratuitous, adolescent disrespect for the Queen as a symbol of all things traditional seems to be common among transgenders. Oliver Thorn (now calling himself Abigail but also known by his YT channel name, PhilosophyTube) made a video a few years ago, before he started pretending to be a woman, where he talked about wanting to "fuck" the Queen. Basically, it was a video where a man in his twenties talked about wanting to "fuck" a woman in her nineties. This was before he trooned out but it gives you an insight into the trans mindset.

GOD SAVE BETTY!!!!

Are we to presume that Charles and Camilla are doing well since there's no news about them since they tested positive?

Charles has resumed engagements. Don't know about Camilla.

I feel a little uneasy about the Queen cancelling engagements but I haven't yet read any British papers this morning.

R100 well, for one he's an asshole.

And other more conspiratorial reason is that he challenged the gender critical scions to a debate at a time and place of their choosing, claiming they were huge hypocrites and wouldn't accept. Several gender critical PhDs were more than happy to debate, because trans activists and organizations refuse to debate anything despite the gender critical requesting it for ages.

Lavery agreed, promised he wouldn't pull out at the last minute (even made several ££ bets he wouldn't with skeptical GCs). Since then Lavery has been flailing about trying to find reasons to pull out of it. With his Twitter ban, he claims "the community" doesn't want him to debate and have it published by a center right news site, and so he's called off the scheduled debate. Some of the GC feminists think he sabotaged himself in order to have an excuse to pull out of the debate, where it's widely expected he would have made a tit of himself.

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN! THE FASCIST REGIME

[quote]Charles has resumed engagements.

This attempted murderer is allowed freedom and galivanting all about placing others at risk?

Charles hadn't hugged and kissed me in thirty years! I should have known he was trying to off me!

Yes, that's exactly what he's doing.

George Bernard Shaw Eliza Doolittle: My aunt died of influenza, so they said. But it's my belief they done the old woman in. Yes Lord love you! Why should she die of influenza when she come through diphtheria right enough the year before? Fairly blue with it she was. They all thought she was dead. But my father, he kept ladling gin down her throat. Then she come to so sudden that she bit the bowl off the spoon. Now, what would you call a woman with that strength in her have to die of influenza, and what become of her new straw hat that should have come to me? Somebody pinched it, and what I say is, them that pinched it, done her in. Them she lived with would have killed her for a hatpin, let alone a hat. And as for father ladling the gin down her throat, it wouldn't have killed her. Not her. Gin was as mother's milk to her. Besides, he's poured so much down his own throat that he knew the good of it.

[QUOTE] The Queen could give it her all, knowing that long vacations in beautiful castles were also part of the deal.

You couldn't pay me to vacation in Balmoral. Hideous.

Yeah, I can think of far better places to vacation than drafty stone castles in wet, foggy, chilly climates.

Yay!

I have to admit. She's pretty amazing.

I adore her. I will be a sobbing mess when she is no longer with us. Mary!

She's fine and sends her love.

Very downbeat reports about The Queen's health in the latest 'Private Eye' magazine. Mentally still sharp enough, but physically very frail. It'll take canny stage management to get her through two significant upcoming public events. Not to mention the jubilee. Otherwise, being out and about to meet and greet is a thing of the past. It's not that surprising given the announcements about Camilla's title and Charles's Coronation. We're being prepared.

Oh, I am sorry to hear that, R116. One knew that these days must come but it is still so surreal. I haven't seen the Eye in a number of years now but I'd imagine that it's still as trustworthy as the World Almanac, so this is serious stuff.

Hold on, Betty! HOLD ON!!!

The queen been on ice for months. They just waiting for the right time to defrost her.

I honestly thought she'd be spry right up to the end. This must be awful for her to be stuck inside all the time, barely able to wobble around. She must miss riding or even just visiting her horses terribly. At this rate of decline I don't think she will be able to make any of the Jubilee celebrations at all. Honestly, I don't think she's got much time left, period. Her body couldn't have waited one more year?

Old people often die in close proximity to their long time partners. I think she will hang on until the Jubilee, but doesn't probably have much time after that.

You guys had her dead at least once in the last six months. What her death gets you off?

R121

I agree. Philip was her first and only love.

OK, I hear you R122, and I swear I'm not one of the people trying to kill her off, but remember after Phil died she actually sort of bloomed? She was out and about, often with a big smile. She was practically glowing. There is a thread here somewhere about how remarkable it was.

In October she was told no more drinking by her doctors. Which many of us thought was the WORST advice, jokingly or not so jokingly. Sure enough, not long after that announcement, she spent the night in the hospital (where I'm assuming she got some very bad fucking news). A few weeks after that she sprained her back and since then it has been a very fast decline.

I blame her doctors for taking her tipple away. That's when she started to go downhill. Someone fetch her a bottle of gin and a straw, STAT!

R12, You sneer now......

R124 = the ghost of the Queen Mother.

[Quote]What her death gets you off?

R122 I highly doubt that most people get off on someone dying. MARY!

Don't forget, Brits set up this Monarchy BS (and keep it going) where power only passes via death. Is it any wonder that a 95 yr old is on a death watch?

I can't imagine being in the BRF and waiting for a family member to die so I can achieve my birthright.

The whole system is antiquated and morbid as fuck. But it is hypocritical to criticize people who discuss death when death is a critical component of the Monarchy.

Honestly - I think her problem is neuropathy. She can't take steps now and even standing is difficult. She probably had a mild stroke that brought this on.

r128 Her mother had severe mobility issues for about 8 years before she died and many elderly people have major mobility issues for years before they die. The Queen Mother had what was nicknamed the Queen mum mobile to take her around so when she did stand it wasn't for long. I think the Queen might be at the same stage of life but as head of state is reluctant to be seen using one?

OH! GOD, please save my Betty! Save her until at least September so that we all can make this money.

GOD, SAVE OUR BETTY!

I was going to ask, R129, about the Queen Mother's mobility in later life. I have a very vague memory of her using 2 sticks to get around but no real recollection of her. So she used a mobility device? A scooter of some sort? And was she on her feet until the end or was there a period of wheelchair/scooter use?

R131... she stood at various events for her 100th birthday, but selectively. She was in a wheelchair at Princess Margaret's funeral and died a month later. I think I read she did have a scooter toward the end. She had a hip replacement at 95 and at 97.

At 97, she was still walking at Diana’s funeral.

She refused to appear in public in her wheelchair. She was driven in it to a side door at St George’s Chapel for Margaret’s funeral.

All reports for the last year of her life mentioned that she got smaller (she was always really short) and faded away, placing last phone calls to friends and relatives, and then she died.

Also, her diet for the end of her life was scrambled eggs and champagne - way to go out, Queen Elizabeth!

I had no such hang ups.

I love how Queen Mary’s wheelchair has been pimped out with padded armrests and velveteen armrest flaps. And some studs.

R133, for a 97 year old with a walking stick and new hips, she's wearing a higher heel than you'd expect.

God save the Queen

R133. Yes. In the end, both the Queen Mother and Prince Philip aged better than the Queen. Not that the Queen hasn’t aged exceptionally well.

r139 The Queen Mother had one hop replaced in 1995 and another in 1998! I wouldn't be surprised if the Queen needs a hip replacement toobut is extra nervous, as would be the government with her being head of state, about having the surgery incase she doesn't survive it.

True. But the Queen Mother looked healthier in general. She wasted away a few years later than the Queen is doing. If a hip operation is needed, it’s yet another argument for a regency.

No one would be especially nervous about the head of state dying in surgery. That's rather the point of hereditary monarchy.

r142 months before an historic jubilee and question marks over the successors popularity they certainly would be nervous. r141 I actually think the Queen Mother looked frailer at 96 than the Queen does.

Here's the Queen Mother aged 101 years and three months or so. She walks with the assistance of two sticks but no person, wobbles at one point, gives a brief speech. Unfortunately, I don't see the Queen being as lively if she did live to this age herself, which now seems doubtful (that would be over five years from now).

Your post didn't suggest you were speaking specifically about the Jubilee, Surviving Angel, it was much more general.

[quote]Unfortunately, I don't see the Queen being as lively if she did live to this age herself, which now seems doubtful (that would be over five years from now).

Specifically why, doctor?

[quote]I blame her doctors for taking her tipple away. That's when she started to go downhill.

WHAT??? What a cruel, cruel, CRU-EL doctor! The person should lose their license because they deny a senior their medicinal libation. I mean... how many more would she have been able to enjoy anyway?

R146, the rate at which the Queen has been declining does not lead one to believe that she will be alive and in reasonable health in five years' time. Her mother walked the length of the nave at Diana's funeral, shortly after her 97th birthday. Two walking sticks, but she walked it.

r145 Hi Sorry for the confusion. My point was if and its only my speculation, she needs a hip replacement operation right now , I think the powers that be, the government would be especially nervous she would die before the Jubilee celebrations.. They would be nervous at any time of that prospect but especially before the Jubilee celebrations which are going to be a much needed morale booster in troubled and uncertain times.

r148 What about alive in five years but in unreasonable health? That is a reality many people face in extreme old age. Poor mobility can plague the elderly for decades.

Fair enough, R148. I don't agree she will necessarily be dead within five years but I won't argue she won't have continued to become frailer as she approaches a hundred years. She was one disadvantage compared to her mother: if she stays out of sight, it leads to more questions than answers. The Queen Mother had the luxury of drinking all day and having lunch parties, appearing mostly at Christmas, Trooping and Aug. 4th.

I believe she will attend Prince Philip's memorial barring acute ill health but would guess she walks to her seat on someone's arm or will enter from the side near her seat, for a shorter walk.

r152 Totally agree. I think the british public are being softened up to expect to see a lot less of the Queen in future.

There was an article to that effect in the Maul a day or two again... Sunday, I think. Basically said she's well but moving around is very difficult for her given her age. There are constant references to pain. The back must be a disaster. Bad backs are awful things, I gather.

r154 The Mail is pretty reliable for inside royal scoops so that seems credible to me and sounds plausible. Aa any staff from any help decent home carer or carers and medical staff in a care home, rest home or nursing home will tell you people can live with these kind of problems for a number of years.

The Mail article was nowhere near the doom and gloom of the Cassandras here. It just said, yup, expect to see her less - she's got her marbles but moving is hard because she is, after all, ninety-fucking-five (and it went without saying that every fall is a real risk in every old person.) She plainly isn't abdicating after that statement for Commonwealth Day. Her problem is she's been so active with external engagements and so visible that any concession to age or missed engagement is seen as near death. If I was going to speculate I would bet she's more done in by back pain, which can be unpredictable.

The country needs a regent.

Cheers r156 r157 I agree some people are being rather too dire and doom laden in their predictions. Bad mobility issues are awful but not the automatic quick death sentence many are making it out to be.

Charles is basically regent now without actually saying so. He and William are the face of the Crown from now on. Any appearances by HM will just be gravy.

I think he's public regent. Privately she still exercises the function of the Crown.

r163 r162 Good to see she is still active.

Amusing story from Robert Hardman who has written a new biography of the Queen: “There’s a withering look, and it looks you up and down, and it was terrifying when it first happened to me,” a senior adviser relayed to Hardman. According to the biographer, Queen Elizabeth’s “look” starts with “an eyebrow.” If the situation calls for it, “both eyebrows” get involved. Then, the sovereign utters three little words that leave a huge impact: “Are you sure?”

He says you get it for incompetence or overfamiliarity.

OH! I NEED TISSUE!!!

May God BLESS MY Betty!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN!!!

It looks like she’s using a cane. Nothing wrong with that. It could even be due to balance issues.

This was weeks ago so why bump it now?

It was hours ago.

Wow exactly a year since the Queen died. Can't believe how quickly time seems to fly by.

R170 nor me, does not seem a year ago at all! RIP
