queen elizabeth II

she goes to the Community of the Resurrection? it's a beautiful building and they spent a fortune on the refurb. The granite fonts they had installed must have cost a small fortune, looked pretty cool though.

I’m sure that’s the place but I’ve never heard it called anything but ‘Mirfield’.

QEII died of old age: https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2022/sep/29/queen-elizabeth-died-of-old-age-death-certificate-says

Nobody dies of 'old age', though. No commoner ever has that on their death certificate. My father who died at the age of 83 had about four different things. Even in death, QE2 ends up hiding stuff from those of us who were her subjects, even though the thing that is being hidden is probably completely innocuous, like heart failure or whatever.

And in a way it could really backfire, as now, out will come the conspiracy theorists - "She was murdered!" "She's still alive!" She really is a 9ft lizard!" Take your pick.

Meanwhile, the world's only reigning queen (there are, of course, quite a few consorts) Denmark's Queen Margrethe II, has announced she is stripping four of her grandkids of the title Prince or Princess. It's not all smelling of roses in Scandi-land right now, with several governments lurching to the right in this mainstay of social democracy, most notably Sweden. But clearly, it's not all rotten in the state of Denmark, as the monarchy there demonstrates (once again, for those paying attention) that it is possible to keep a monarchy and do it in a better way than the UK.

the pick i take is that she's still alive (bcz she is)

it isn't a conspiracy theory if it's true

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

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

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:

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?
