I see we have reached that time of year where I have to dispel rumours of HM's passing.

The Queen is not dead. She is alive & well and is very much looking forward to hosting President Trump and other world leaders at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday for the NATO reception.

What has this got to do with this attack? (Also it is Philip who is on his way out.)

"London Bridge is down" is the secret code phrase, everyone knows in the UK all the officials are supposed to use for when the Queen dies, and they want to organise everything before it becomes public

You know it is a secret UK code phrase as everyone knows it.

"Attack on London Bridge" every where caused a bit of a panic.

I have a relative who is on stand by and has had extensive training (including full dress rehearsals) for escorting the coffin for the Queen, Prince Philip, Prince Charles (who is 71 years old after all) or any other senior Royal who will get a full state funeral.

Having a super-secret code phrase that the whole knows what it means seems somewhat counterproductive.

Similarly, I have a relative who is involved in regular update meetings to ensure that planning for the movement of the Queen's remains following her death is in place and up to date. It's gonna be a whole rigmarole.

Since we will be paying for the funerals, I reccomend Slough crematorium, which is where they had her sister unceremoniously burned to hide her syphilis ridden body.

Was the coffin not a sufficient disguise?

Also, are royals forbidden to use antibiotics?

After Victoria's hemophilia mutation the Royal family abandoned its attempts to synthesize near-human blood. Their natural reptilian ichor is incompatible with standard antibiotics.

They believe strongly in homeopathy, well until one of them actually needs a doctor at which point it's police escorts and road blocks to get them straight to someone who isn't playing make believe with bottles of water with no delay.

No. Because the syphilis was entirely a product of Darat's imagination. I don't know what Princess Margaret eventually died of, but she was a smoker and a heavy drinker for much of her life.

Well, Prince Charles does. I don't know if any of the other Royals do.

One of the attractions of Charles becoming King is that he'll have to shut the **** up about all that homeopathy new age bollocks.

Blindness, paralysis, dementia.... yep matches late stage syphilis so I'm still going with that!

The claim wasn't by the way from my imagination I heard several people suggesting that was her "health issue" years before she died.

Of course apart from some symptoms that are common to many other health issues there isn't a scrap of evidence she had late stage syphilis. But..... she was cremated very quickly after her death and cremated without a single royal being present. And cremation is unusual for that family of welfare scroungers. So I'm "just saying" some people may think that she was a syphilis ridden hag when she died!

Yes they do. Quite a few articles have mentioned it over the years.

And why would he stop interfering in politics once he becomes King? He's not meant to interfere now and he does. (As also the Queen does.)

Does the Queen interfere in politics? I can't think of any instances off hand.

I thought it was only Charles who's in favour of homeopathy (in between talking to his plants and decrying modern architecture).

TragicMonkey · 6th December 2019, 05:48 AM

If Charles believes in homeopathy does that mean he believes that each time he takes a bath he becomes more himself?

These leapt out:

(2018)
A homeopath to the Queen has died in a collision with a lorry while cycling in London. Dr Peter Fisher, 67, had served as homeopathic physician to the Queen for about 15 years.

(2011)
[The Duke of Edinburgh's] arthritic wrist eventually forced him to give up polo in 1971 - the year of his 50th birthday - after which he took up horse-carriage driving.

Shaking many thousands of hands at official functions worsened the arthritis and caused him to change his once firm grip to a "limp-wristed" style.

The Duke tried a copper bracelet and various homeopathic remedies to help ease the problem.

Honestly just do a google search on "royal family and homeopathy" and you'll get dozens of reports and articles.

She has greater subtlety than Charles, but there were some articles a few years ago about how she's used her weekly consultations with the PM to voice objections to legislation she didn't want and got it quietly amended, I can't remember the details or find it now as searching mostly brings up Brexit related stuff, but iirc it was mostly about tax rules, inheritance and similar that would effect her family negatively.
