He looked perky enough in Braemar. Did he get hit by a caber?

You really have the skill of decorum, class and decency. Well done for displaying it so bluntly.

Indeed, this shouldn’t be a topic until there is an announcement rather than idle gossip.

Hm. Thread police much?

It s a valid topic of conversation. Christ the guy was in remission. But it s always been what seems to be a matter of time.

Not least because of the repercussions which will be likely vast. QE2 only passed 4 years ago.
The situation with Andrew is still very much out there . Sarah Ferguson has recently returned. Harry and Megan are back.

A thread that mulls over the possible implications without having to address an event announced is hardly out of the ordinary and what will be presented to William and Kate (with her own health issues) to handle as the next generation is surely a topic to be considered.

I have it on good authority that he pushed Camilla out of bed this morning to make the tea.

Is Charlie up in Deeside?

Is this the PM travelling up for an annoucement on Jackdaw or something else?

Charles is up at Balmoral per the royal's summer tradition. He attended the Braemar Highland Games on Saturday. Prime Ministers are routinely invited up to Balmoral as well.

Christ, imagine having to invite Body Bags to your holiday. Still he would just be really normal.

I've managed to avoid a lot of news lately, it had passed me by that the King had died.

Harald V of Norway that is.
A great sailor.

It has never been announced that he is in remission. Instead it was announced that due to him responding well to treatment, doctors were moving his care into a reduced, precautionary phase.

Similar but not quite as clear as saying 'in remission'.

Fair point. Either way speculation as to his current state I don’t think is invalid.

That said he looked fine on Saturday from the pics I saw smile

Either way the media don’t get pre alerted.

As with all senior royals there is a well prepared and detailed plan, with all of the tribute material, scripts etc kept updated.

Operation London Bridge/Unicorn, etc. it’s Menai Bridge for Charles.

Even with ERII it was parliament that was “warmed up” first, which I was kind of surprised about.
