Because technically QEII was the king, but it would’ve sounded weird and calling him king was not accurate, because he wasn’t the monarch. |
She was 96. I think we all know her actual cause of death. |
Its not incorrect if she's GIVEN the title, which she will be (and Diana was.) The only thing that's incorrect is that she did not automatically become Princess Catherine upon her marriage. Unless she is bestowed the title, she would just be Princess William, which sounds weird to us because no one modern actually does this and instead uses their Duchess/Countess title given by the Queen. There is an older wife though Princess Michael of Kent and she uses it because she was not given a different title. |

Her cause of death was being 96. |
Huh? No, that’s not what I meant. The title Diana had and the title Catherine will get is The Princess of Wales. No name. But everyone called her Princess Diana anyway, even though that was wrong. Same with Duchess Meghan or Duchess Kate. Again, that’s wrong. No name. It’s “The Duchess of Sussex” and “The Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge.” The “The” gets removed and the name gets added in if they were to divorce (Diana became “Diana, Princess of Wales” - no “the,” add in the name). |
Exactly - she died of complications of old age. No that bruising is not from an IV. There are two pictures of the Queen with the new PM, one which shows her shaking Truss’s hand and the other shows her holding her cane - in that one you can see that both hands are darkened all over, fingers and back of the hands etc. This is something that I have seen only in the very very elderly hospice patients close to the end. The blood starts seeping out of the veins because the skin is very thin and even the most minor of pressure on the hands can damage the fragile aged blood vessels and cause them to weep and the skin to appear bruised. At this point of decline the person is often so frail - as in the Queen’s case - and they have lost much of the body fat on the extremities that would cushion their veins from this kind of damage. In the photos notice how white the Queen’s face is - this is not only because she hadn’t been outside much in recent weeks, but also I’m sure she has been heavily powdered by her ladies in waiting to allow her appearance on camera in what would be her last photo. Under her clothing I’m sure her arms and legs also were heavily bruised in the manner of her hands. It’s a classic symptom of a dying body which I’ve seen many times in very elderly hospice patients. |
No different than saying JPII for the late Pope John Paul II. In casual conversation I see no disrespect unless you’re saying it with a certain “tone”. - a Catholic |
I don't think anyone is going to start referring to her as Princess Catherine. The press either use the super informal "Kate Middleton" or "Catherine Middleton" (both obviously irreverent and also incorrect) or they will use her title/style HRH The Duches of Cornwall and Cambridge (until this is formally changed to HRH The Princess of Wales.) |
Besides as we’re often reminded by the BRM-haters we aren’t British. We aren’t her subjects. Still I have a fondness for QEII despite her personal flaws. |
In some 2017 pictures her hands/wrist show some bruising. While the bruising look can happen near end of death, they are usually not conscious. And it’s not true bruising. It’s cyanosis. |
I think they’re going to start calling her Princess Catherine when she becomes Princess of Wales. Just my opinion though. |

No, cyanosis is from inadequate oxygenation. A person can have bruising from seeping veins and still have healthy O2 saturation. Are you someone who works in elder care or hospice care? I doubt that you do or you would be very familiar with senile purpura. |
