I believe she has osteoporosis. It's one of her causes - I think her mother did too. Then I’m an ass 😂😂 forgive me BBC and Queen Consort I'm not a 100% that she does! I just have a vague memory of reading it somewhere. Kate has no excuse. |

It did feel a little sudden since we just saw the Queen looking pretty good Tuesday. Then Thursday, gone. Even at 96, that feels sudden. I guess when you’re that old you’re body doesn’t have time for warnings. She looked happy but very frail on Tuesday. She honestly reminded me a lot of elderly patients I’ve had that are just done. Not ill, not unhappy, just tired. I kinda grew up in a nursing home/care center environment (my parents both had roles and I’d go there after school almost every day, I felt like I had 100 grandparents). You learn to recognize the look. I think it probably felt less sudden to people close to her. *not actually directed at penguin, just the comment that made me think about it. |

This is what I told dd yesterday when we talked about it. She was saying how unexpected it was especially because she was doing events and things and I said well she was 96 and tired. And then she said yes and she missed her husband. But when you look at pictures from the Jubilee to Tuesday's picture I see it more just how frail and tired she looked. |

I am set on heart attack or stroke in her sleep |

How could it have been recorded already if he just got there? Or are they saying that because he is going to go in and record it now? |

I will say that sharing this with dd was so amazing. Watching the coverage and specials reminded me of Diana and her death and being glued to the tv. My mom couldn't care less, but my grandma watched some. I am so glad that dd and I can share these things.

I just turned on BBC and I gotta say I don’t think Camilla looks bad — terrible bra aside. She’s an old lady! She moves like an old lady! I just noticed that she was hunched. I don't think she looks bad. And really it will be how I am at her age because my posture is terrible too |

Harry and Meghan's spokesperson apparently did say that they would be staying in the UK until the funeral so my guess is Doria will bring the kids over if they aren't there.

Edoardo was among the mourners paying their respects to Queen Elizabeth in London on Friday. The husband of Princess Beatrice joined the crowds gathering at the Horseguards Parade to watch the traditional changing of the guard accompanied by daughter Sienna in a stroller.
Dressed in a black suit, white shirt and black tie, Edo spent around 10 minutes watching the historic event, then walked through the crowds making their way to Buckingham Palace.

BBC just said that Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie, etc, just arrived
I don't think Andrew, Edward, and Anne have left yet but I don't see confirmation of that

I can’t believe I’m repeating this but apparently there is a theory going around the internet that the Queen was reincarnated today as the baby of some YouTuber. Everyone knows you have to be in your final resting place before being reincarnated. Amateurs. Hi I finally caught up! And the above was a joke to be clear haha |

FFS Was Kate not invited either? Why is that not a "story?" What about anyone arriving today? |

Obviously, Queen Consort Camilla is a plot twist my 8 year old heart didn’t see coming, but there was always going to be a King Charles, you know? YEP |

King Charles and Queen Camilla Nope nope nope I haaaate it. I am thinking people will be "over" the monarchy pretty quickly. They are shitty people.. and all the $$ they say the royal family brings in, the history of it all will still be there... It all feels gross. |

🙄 6 of her actual grandchildren weren’t there either. And this is what I was saying about Kate yesterday. Yes she needed to be there for her children. Mother Kate. Maybe she wasn’t invited either but at least they had a “reason” she “couldn’t” be there. They knew Meghan wouldn’t be so lucky. |

I do not see it going away. The fact that the streets are literally packed right now shows that the people aren't as "over" the monarchy that they claim they are. And the UK loves Will and Kate so they will hold on to them. |
