queen elizabeth II

i guess those were the only two people on the seats outside the castle on Breakfast this morning...

(i did wonder about the security of windsor castle this morning when i saw it - there's nothing but a lawn between the road and the castle. then i realised IT'S A CASTLE, how much more secure do you get?)

in 20 years will she send herself a telegram? that would be odd.

A footman will bring it on a silver platter and she'll say, "Oh, how delightful, one has received a telegram from one"

but stuff the jubilee!
Princess A to Princess Bea
and all their work for charity
Every royal lion' s head
on every boiled and frying egg
And every sodding polo team
in Hello ! bloody magazine

And if you feel this story lacks
the royal seal on candle wax
Reel to reels of scuzzy facts
of dodgy deal and income tax
String me up from Traitor's Gate
stick my head upon a stake
And if you feel this story sucks
that's probably becauae I made it up
I didn' t really hitch a lift
to Windsor Castle bearing gifts
And I can prove it wasn' t me
I was on a stage in Germany
I'vealways loved the Oueenie Mum
her daughters and her daughter' s sons
From Princess A to Princess Bea
And all the Royal Family

What's more, there are loads of CCTV cameras.

you evil genius

maybe when i'm on holiday somewhere.

seriously though how awful and never-ending will the media coverage of queendeath be?!

Since when has being sane been a qualification for kinging an queening?

do you think the chop has already happened? the neck seems to be a gap yet his head is not fallen

i don't know why his hat is all the way down there though, maybe it caught on a gust of wind?

King has just propelled his head off his shoulders by internal combustion to deny chopper his pleasure.

Hovering hat remains a mystery though.

How come everyone else has got choppers? Did they just pick someone out of the crowd?

I want him to be King.

I think Richard Brandon was from London but there are some who say it was an Irishman from Galway named Gunning who did it.

also:

post-Shipman, coroners started telling doctors not to use 'old age' as cause of death and be a little more specific. https://t.co/oMLkIXNZF8

so it's like when her hat was the EU flag, it's all signals to those who know

capriqueen one

I mean, by slowly abolishing itself, sure, I guess?

Wait, it's not that drastic. They are all kids of the youngest child. The son and heir, Crown Prince Frederik, and his four children, Christian (born 15 October 2005), Isabella (born 21 April 2007) and twins Vincent and Josephine (born 8 January 2011), are unaffected by the change.

It contrasts with here, when even when one prince is a philanderer and paedophile and another says he doesn't want to do the duties anymore, goes to his wife's country "in search of privacy" and yet we hear more about him and his missus than ever before, *they* don't get stripped of their titles. Possibly Chuck will revisit this, I mean, why shouldn't they be Mr Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Mr Harry Mountbatten-Windsor, respectively? What's he got to lose by doing that? But I have heard no rumours to that effect.

Nobody dies of 'old age', though.

Could be a Scottish thing. My mother's death certificate said frailty and old age, iirc.

... not that she was as old as QEII!

Guardian link has this:

Old age is acceptable if the doctor certifying death has cared for the patient for a long time, was not aware of any disease or injury that contributed to death and had observed a gradual decline in the person’s general health and functioning.

they can only put human illnesses on death certificates afaik

"failed the ultimate test" as defined by Dr Richard Pryor. I suppose putting common illnesses on the death certificate wasn't considered appropriate for a monarch.

not dead and still ‘backing’ the monarchy:

Wait, £5?

I'm glad I don't go in pubs anymore and don't play the old fruit machines!

The Sun says that Prince Andrew is funding some of the $12 million plot to overturn his settlement with Virginia Giuffre through his inheritance from his mother. https://t.co/gvlZnF0Wgq

this is what happens when you let the bastards keep their heads

liz phair doesn't give a fuck about colonialism but has anyone asked her what she thinks of her girlboss icon funding sex crimes in life and in death?

Can’t we just have one lonely reporter on the Liz Phair beat?
