This is not looking good to me. William, Charles and Camilla have rushed up to Balmoral. The Prime Minister was passed a note that she read out live in Parliament. I hope she gets through this. I’m wishing her all the best.

It’s looking rather ominous isn’t it? ☹️

Just saw a picture of her greeting the new pm. Queen's right hand is black with a huge bruise.
DH and I think hospice/palliative care is a possibility. We wish her well.

My friend's husband works at the British Embassy here in DC and they have been under "London Bridge is Falling" for several years. London Bridge is the Queen. They know she is in ill health and have been making preparations for when she passes.

First thing I saw on our news this morning. She looked very frail in the photo of her with the new Prime Minister.

Oh no. The fact that her family has traveled to Balmoral right now is not good.

Oh dear that sounds ominous, she did look frail in the photos with Liz Truss

Only last night I was saying to dh that the back of her hand in the photo with Liz Truss was really dark purple and that didn't strike me as a good sign.

Best wishes for Her Majesty and her family. If it is the end of her life, I hope she is comfortable and at peace.

I don't want to write her off yet but just the fact that the Palace has released various bits of information is unusual in itself plus the fact of the family travelling there...

Very worrying. They don’t make announcements lightly, and all the family are either there or on their way. Hoping for the best but fearing the worst.

Trying not to be morbid but she loves Balmoral so it seems the most fitting place to be.

It sounds like pretty much everyone is there now...reading between the lines that she's 'comfortable' speaks volumes.

I just saw on Twitter that her other children are there or on their way. Only senior royal who is not is the Duchess of Carmbridge, as it's the children's first real day at their new school (yesterday was orientation I believe).

Sounds like most of the family are there.
Is Harry still in the UK?
ETA - yes he is and will presumably travel there too.

Wishing the Queen peacefulness. HUGS for our UK peas. The news is distressing for everyone, makes a very sad time.

Non stop coverage here. The words I just heard are "as grave as it gets" and the fact that all her children are there "illustrates just how serious her health is."
