TM Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 maybe speculative as she's normally up at Balmoral at this time but I wonder if she's gone there because she knows there isn't much time left? always said it's her favourite place not interested in the royals too much but I don't mind the Queen, losing Phillip has probably accelerated this downfall for her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Whippy Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Do we get a day off/bank holiday if/when she dies? Naturally it’s not good, but it’s what most people care about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrw072 Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 10 minutes ago, Lucas said: There comes a point where with the greatest respect, you want someone to go in relative comfort and at peace while they have their faculties etc. I don't think that's the same as wishing someone dead, but hoping for recovery when someone is on EOL gets a bit delusional. People in that position can be hanging on just existing, not living. And that's not especially pleasant. That's very true. My Mum has been on EOL care for over a year now and she's oblivious to everything. Sometimes she has spells when her health deteriorates, and then quite often pulls through. I don't follow the Royal Family but i'm guessing that the Queen is being treated for something and has had a deterioration in her condition enough to concern the Drs into calling the family. It wouldnt surprise me if this was terminal. But equally i wouldn't be surprised if she pulls through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mum went quickly in the end after a long time with MS, but we had time to get the closest family round when she died. I dread to think what it would have been like for my Dad had her death been drawn out over days and weeks. She'd had pneumonia and an overnight oxygen level drop; she was still breathing but other than that she was gone and was never coming back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in the gift of the monarch. So it will need to be decided by Charles. Of course he may do that and I'd say it's more probable than not, but given that it'll be more than just him really, and the political situation being different from his investiture, then there is no guarantee that it will actually happen.
