    A sad day, but let us cheer ourselves up by fondly remembering some of his best quotes.

    "I don't think a prostitute is more moral than a wife, but they are doing the same thing."

    "When a man opens a car door for his wife, it's either a new car or a new wife."

    "We don't come to Canada for our health. We can think of other ways of enjoying ourselves."

    Don't run away with any ideas. Buck House says "He's not dead yet!"

    I rarely believe anything on the internet now until I see it happen, so until the coffins heading down the Mall, I'm out.

    Well to be fair, her health hasn't been great recently, so thats probably more likely.

    Maybe they are selling up, downsizing to a nice little 2 up, 2 down.

    I just checked sky news and nothing. She's not going to abdicate so I doubt it's that but it's a bit strange. I'm sure we'll find out what has happened. I see that the it's not unusual to have meetings but the middle of the nights seems a strange time for a meeting.

    If not a death, maybe a birth, or loss of baby, or maybe a resignation.

    Lot of speculation, nothing known.

    For all we know she simply wants to change the dress code.

    Maybe its a Brexit announcement? She's not having it, going to tell May to stick it where the sun don't shine.

    Wouldn't that be going outside her "powers" ? She isn't meant to express an opinion publicly on politics which she seems to have stuck to, unlike Charles who seems to have a harder time doing that.

    "You could safely assume the Queen and Prince Philip are not dead," the palace press office told a 1 NEWS reporter in Auckland by phone this afternoon, about 4am UK time.

    That's not a denial - it actually fuels the rumour.

    After a brief look online neither the BBC or sky are saying anything but Australian/ New Zealand media are reporting the meeting. Is that not a bit strange ?

    The British tabloids are reporting it.

    Perhaps Sky/BBC don't want to get into the speculating side of it, for fear of offending one?

    Maybe their whatsapp isn't working either and this is best way to arrange something without groupchat

    Prince Philip is signing for Man Utd to replace Pogba......

    He may not be able to give it his full attention but then neither does Pogba.....
