Possibly about prince Philip?

I wasnt sure about speculating, England will go nuts now!

Shannon757 · 04-05-2017 4:03am

Usually 8am before any official announcements are made by Buckingham Palace so we will have to wait till then probably

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!"

uck51js9zml2yt · 04-05-2017 4:17am

Maybe it was one of the royal corgis whose died..sad day !

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 4:19am

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

The man lives to fight another day it seems :pac:

Timberrrrrrrr · 04-05-2017 4:25am

Wonder is she going to step down and give Charles a few years in the hot seat

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 4:26am

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

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 4:28am

Maybe they are going to reveal themselves as lizards?

I knew Jim Corr wasn't crazy.

The_Valeyard · 04-05-2017 4:32am

So something's up, but not known what?

I dont see it mentioned on Sky or BBC??

04-05-2017 4:34am

Well me mother wont believe anything unless its announced on the deaths on local radio at 1pm and 5pm....

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 4:36am

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.

The_Valeyard · 04-05-2017 4:41am

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.

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 4:42am

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

Hard to know really.... Hes a Greek immigrant so I cant see the Daily Mail taking any crap from them

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.

Itssoeasy · 04-05-2017 4:56am

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 ?

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 5:00am

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?

Oh are they because I'm watching sky news and the beautiful Sarah Jane mee is no selling whatever is supposed to be happening.

tomwaterford · 04-05-2017 5:20am

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

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 5:29am

Maybe someone left the immersion on and they are fuming.

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.....

exaisle · 04-05-2017 5:39am

Maybe she's found him stiff in bed.....first time in years.....

Jobs OXO · 04-05-2017 5:41am

Looks like a divorce according to the wires

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 5:44am

Christ, they're together 70yrs, why divorce now?

Think of the children.

There are reports that the flag is not at "half mast" at the palace, I wasnt sure what it meant.
Good for him at 95

Charles abdicating so William can go straight to the throne when the time comes?

NIMAN · 04-05-2017 5:46am

Can you abdicate something you don't have?

LordSutch · 04-05-2017 5:49am

06:47 no mention on BBC News!

Surely if there was an emergency at the Palace it would be wall to wall all over the place.

exaisle · 04-05-2017 5:52am

Not a word on sickipedia either....so unlikely to be a death...

Abdicate is the wrong word obviously.

Maybe photos have emerged of Harry in a kkk costume downing a bottle of Benylin at a party

They've decided with the current bout of good weather, theyve all decided to take their reptilian form for a few days and hang about at the cliffs of Dover.

Meanwhile Camilla Parker Bowles has undergone beauty reduction surgery

Alf Stewart. · 04-05-2017 5:59am

Just been announced on BBC world service, the Queen got a new dodgy box, and apparently it has a HD version of the new, Danny Boyle "Trainspotting" movie on it, and so all the royals have been summonsed for a popcorn and movie session.

Jammy gits. :mad:

I didn't get a chance to catch it in the cinema, and all kodi versions have been shíte versions so far.

As Trump would say FAKE NEWS!

Totally made up & untrue.

CoolHandBandit · 04-05-2017 6:03am

I heard the queen is putting the empty rooms in Buckingham palace up on Air B&B. The horror :eek:

Why would that require household staff to be summoned overnight to an emergency meeting?

Whatever it is, it's something that is taking effect immediately, and that affects the way the household carries out its day-to-day affairs.

It's also not something that has legal or constitutional implications (like a change to the succession, or a divorce). That stuff will be announced from Downing Street, not from the Palace. First word on the separation of the Wales's, back when it happened, was a statement by the Prime Minister to the House of Commons. At a civilised hour of the day.

"you managed to not get eaten then", Prince Phillip to a British backpacker in Papua New Guinea, 1998.
