It seems they are preparing us for bed news concerning our dear Ol' Queen.
The Queen is under medical supervision at Balmoral after doctors became concerned for her health, Buckingham Palace says.
"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," they said in a statement.
I do not think I have known a worse week for news, Liz Truss, Putin, Energy, The Queen & Potter...
Bloody hate this week.
I am no royalist, but do like the Queen, and can appreciate her role in this once great country.
Been fairly apparent for a while her health has been going down hill, lots of missed commitments and such. Shame, she has served well, whatever you think of the Royals.
Hushed, reverential voices on BBC breaking news report. Urgghh, this is going to go on for days. And days, and days. Apologies to Queen fans, no disrespec' intended.
She seems to have gone downhill rapidly after Philip died and since getting Covid. I suspect she may not survive too much longer but hope I am wrong about that. Her passing will likely kick off a whole swathe of changes here and abroad (in the countries where she is head of state).
If the worst happens, I hope the usual suspects don't crawl out from under their NSC stones to share their lack of respect or whatever snarky anti Royal thoughts they may have.
