queen elizabeth II

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?
