I know she's likely in a less conscious/aware state but man imagine knowing that the world is just hanging out, refreshing until the word is announced that you're dead. Though I guess at this point she's used to the fanfare. Still weird.

I wonder how they decided Will would be the driver. I mean, theoretically he has the best vision and reflexes. If the other 3 are anything like my parents I’d want to be driving over a passenger in a car being driven slooooowly. |

I was leaning towards Will driving because he probably drives at least 10 over the speed limit versus 5 under.

Hi, I don’t really go here but of course following along today. Harry isn’t there yet, right? I would imagine they wouldn’t announce (if she’s passed) until he is.

I’m also having flashbacks to Princess Diana’s death. I was pretty young and didn’t quite follow celeb/news yet but I still remember the moment I saw the news. I cannot imagine what that would’ve been like had it happened in the age of social media.

The scenario I’m imagining is that she’s post-stroke/heart attack and either DNR or in a comatose state. Getting everyone there ASAP gives them a chance to say goodbye and/or appear unified.

I can see waiting for a united front type thing, even they are gritting their teeth while doing it. Esp since it is widely known that he is en route. |

I could see Charles and Will going so far as to use that as an excuse to be petty- “she DIED and he couldn’t be bothered to get there on time.” |

BBC has absolutely nothing left to say, they just keep talking about Balmoral being a favorite home, lol.

I’ve been gone the last bit but nothing like this announcement to drag me back.
I don’t thinks she’s gone yet. I don’t think they would have had W&K walk to kids to school all smiley if that had happened.

Is Harry there yet? It feels like it's taking a really long time, if he's not.

To me “comfortable” is medical speak for unconscious. Otherwise they’d say “alert and in good spirits” or something similar. |

I can see waiting for a united front type thing, even they are gritting their teeth while doing it. Esp since it is widely known that he is en route. They have had lots of other chances for a united front and discarded them. The "united" is Charles, Edward, Anne, Andrew, and Will. |

BBC has absolutely nothing left to say, they just keep talking about Balmoral being a favorite home, lol. Which is why I think they should keep on with regular programming until there is an official announcement to make. They just need a bat signal to flash in the sky when she passes. It could be a crown. Or a corgi. |
