This Canadian (that lived in the UK) is also very saddened.

Apparently Harry and Megan have cancelled engagements and are travelling to Balmoral.
So many unsubstantiated reports on line that the Queen has already passed away but they are waiting for all the family to get there before announcing it. 😢

Oh this makes me incredibly sad. As an American, I have such respect for the Queen and her long steady service to her country.

I'm thinking the heads of the commonwealth countries will be informed before the general public as it impacts them on a national level.

……… So many unsubstantiated reports on line that the Queen has already passed away but they are waiting for all the family to get there before announcing it. 😢 This may well be the case - here’s an article from the Guardian that I saved some years ago: London Bridge

It's amazing to think that she has seen 15 British PMs and 16 Australian PMs sworn in during her reign!
Well it's getting on towards midnight here, and I'm going to go to bed. I hope I wake in the morning to hear that Her Majesty has rallied and is doing well. 🤞

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... yes, they don’t give out news for no reason Just curious what news is unusual? the family travelling to her side? My 100 yr old grandmother is not doing well - so the news of the queen is hitting very close to home for me today!

It's very much a stand off type of attitude. They all have full diaries so don't drop everything to visit. So the fact that the entire family are travelling to Balmoral is very telling.

The unusual event was that the Palace formally issued a statement: Following further evaluation this morning, The Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision. The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral.

I’m so sad. I can only imagine how her family feels, since I’m in tears. I think she’s been a big part of the whole world, not just the UK. The whole world will be grieving.

When she passes, my fingers are crossed that Charles steps aside and let’s William become king. I just can’t stomach Charles.

The UK Reddit is saying that BBC broke into programming and that they played a photo montage and when the announcers came back on air they were all in black suits. It certainly seems like an announcement is imminent.

Charles is a good, caring man. I shall say no more here as it’s not appropriate for this thread.
