I have a feeling they've known she was on the decline and his trip was planned on the guise of other things. |
+1 it must be imminent or already have happened. I am also so sad over this. She has been such a mainstay through my entire life that I cannot imagine a world without her. |
So many elderly people decline/pass soon after their spouse does. I figured she’d pass within 6 months of Prince Philip. That was April 2021. I’m very surprised she’s made it this long. |

She had a public appearance yesterday. But yes she is 96. |
The last few years have been rough, and her longtime husband died last year. It’s not too surprising. |
I had the same thought. |
| I was watching the today show and Jenna Bush Hager was supposed to be interviewing Camilla, something to do with Jenna‘s book program and the programs Camilla is part of in England. Apparently she had just signed with Prince Charles last night. They showed Jenna live reporting that Charles and Camilla abruptly canceled the interview to be with the queen. Jenna seemed very uncomfortable when reporting on this, it seemed like her words were very rehearsed. I’m guessing they knew more information or suspected more information and they were allowed to say. Jenna is usually a very loquacious, well spoken off the cuff person. She just kept repeating the same lines |

Operation London Bridge is only in effect If she passes in England. She seemingly may pass in Scotland under which Operation Unicorn will apply.
“The monarch would be conveyed from Balmoral Castle in Aberdeenshire to Edinburgh on a special train, where it is understood the Queen would initially rest in state at the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Her coffin would then be carried to St Giles’ Cathedral on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, where people would be able to pay their respects.” https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/national/operation-unicorn-what-is-operation-unicorn-what-happens-if-the-queen-dies-in-scotland-3836443?amp |
| It's time people. Get ready. Always sad when some people die. |
She's already passed, but it's not appropriate for Jenna to break the news. |
They're going to drag this poor woman's body all over creation. |
