The Queen
- Thread starter raefil
- Start date
I'm far from a Royalist but wish her well. At her age she has every right to slow down a bit anyway.
I think the moment she starts slowing too much with commitments is the moment we may, sadly see 'London Bridge' fall.
Sometimes when people lose their spouses at old age they aren't too far behind.

I'm not a royalist, but time for Her Maj to put her feet up now, retire from engagements and let lesser Royals do her bit. Who on earth expects a 90 odd year old frail woman to still be working?
I think she has lost a lot of her will to participate, since Philip passed away. The old lady should retire and pass on the burden of work, she needs to rest and stay away from all the demanding engagements, she is frail and deserves her privacy away from the public eye.
Nobody could begrudge her that
What is Operation London Bridge?

Operation London Bridge - Wikipedia
'London Bridge is down': the secret plan for the days after the Queenâs death
The long read: She is venerated around the world. She has outlasted 12 US presidents. She stands for stability and order. But her kingdom is in turmoil, and her subjects are in denial that her reign will ever end. That’s why the palace has a plan.

It's a very lengthy read, but it gives the details.

Thanks for posting daddyman, I enjoyed reading that. But I don't think it'll be quite like that for most people although the BBC will make out "the whole nation is grieving". I won't be, it'll just mean I don't watch the TV news or the main channels for a while, thankfully I have Netflix.'London Bridge is down': the secret plan for the days after the Queenâs death

I will be pissed off if they cancel sporting events and the like, especially the football. I'm afraid to say, she isn't an important part of my life, end of.

If Netflix increase their prices, it'd better be for new subscribers only!
