I don't know wtf this guy is but that's the only thing I see. Seems strange since Philip was out and about looking chipper and unveiling plaques earlier

He was alive, right before he was dead! I can't believe it!!

 

[robotrock]

How come Prince Philip Ain't a King

 

[amrod]

I'm guessing she will step down

He is from the us honestly looks like he is taking a guess like the rest of us.

 

[Maintenance]

Is there no live webcam?

Periscoping from the palace.

Quick, someone get there and start a stream.

Source is his immense asshole. Doesn't even know why Phillip isn't King.

 

[tearsintherain]

Someone probably stole the good plates and the Queen is going to get to the bottom of things

 

[Einchy]

I'm guessing she will step down

She can do that?

 

[Autodidact]

No one is allowed to be above the sovereign in rank. If he were a king, he'd be above her, so he has the title of Prince instead. Conversely, if he were king, she could still be called the queen consort.

 

[always crazy bacon]

[wandering]

It's what her uncle did

 

[PJV3]

Someone used her milk again or shat in her royal toilet.

Update

Well, that's something at least.

Bye Chuck, can't believe the Queen outlived you.

 

[Hopeford]

If the Queen is dead, that's going to be a weird feeling. I know royalty doesn't mean much nowadays, but I remember swearing loyalty to the Queen when I became a Canadian citizen. I know that sounds silly, but that somewhat archaic moment meant a lot to me in terms of actually feeling Canadian. Knowing that the person I pledged that oath to is dead is going to feel...a little empty if that makes sense.

Man.

EDIT: Oh good, just saw the update.

 

[DrSlek]

The Queen will outlive every person in this thread.

So...we're all gonna die?

 

[Boogie9IGN]

She can do that?

Edward VIII abdicated in the 1930s iirc, she should be able to step down I think?

Update

'You could safely assume the Queen and Prince Philip are not dead', Buckingham Palace says amid reports of 'emergency meeting'
7 min ago
Buckingham Palace has told 1 NEWS an emergency meeting of the Queen's entire household reportedly called for tonight is not to announce the death of either Her Majesty or her husband, Prince Philip

EDIT: Another Update
4 minutes ago

Buckingham Palace has confirmed to Newshub that neither the Queen nor Prince Philip have died.

A palace official says as far as he's aware both are alive and well.

 

[Hazmat]

So...we're all gonna die?

I have terrible news for you. You should probably sit down.

Update

From your link:

This doesn't mean the reports are wrong, but that our Government doesn't appear to have been put on any sort of notice.

Not saying he died, but it's not much of an update.

 

[BigDes]

Dunno, kind of feels fitting to have a Charles on the throne while the country guts itself.

 

[Hazmat]

From your link:

That's about a different statement from Parliament, not the one from Buckingham Palace.

 

[B-Dubs]

Let's be real, it wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Maybe she's abdicating! End this dumb Disney-world-worthy charade.

 

[LQX]

Sort of odd BBC America has nothing about this.

 

[robotrock]

BBC America is worthless

 

[Marky Mark]

Anything to do with Kate's topless photos?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

A palace official says as far as he's aware both are alive and well.

Did he check? Because he'll look pretty silly if they're dead in bed right now after trying some senior sex.

 

[catmincer]

Camilla is dead maybe?

 

[Thelonelykoopa]

Dunno, kind of feels fitting to have a Charles on the throne while the country guts itself.

But afterwards you will get a no fun Cromwell

 

[TheCochese]

Sort of odd BBC America has nothing about this.

The BBC is still the BBC and they can't report until a certain time.

 

[Spaghetti]

Camilla is dead maybe?

Diana's revenge.

 

[Deleted member 80556]

I'm guessing she will step down

(It would be better than someone's death at least)

 

[DrSlek]

But afterwards you will get a no fun Cromwell

But then we'll get party boy Charles II....or William.

 

[norm9]

Diana's revenge.

This is getting spooky.

 

[B-Dubs]

The BBC is still the BBC and they can't report until a certain time.

Yea. There won't be an official announcement for like 3 hours or so, at 8am UK time.

 

[always crazy bacon]

Sort of odd BBC America has nothing about this.

They won't say anything before BBC in the UK.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Maybe they uncovered a Romish plot?

A plan to put Prince Welder the 4th of Buffane on the throne, thus ending the 500 feud with Rome.

 

[Autodidact]

So UKGAF, how will a royal death affect your election? Will the politicians cease campaigning out of respect, or will they use the death to stir up some nationalistic Britannia rule the waves fervor against the tyrannical EU?

They are not dead

She could have named him king consort when she became queen, that would not have put him above her, they just chose not to do it because people are uninformed and would assume a king consort outranks a queen regnant.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Not good news, all we need on top of everything else going on :/

Need BritGaf to chime in here asap. Particularly London Gaf

I'll be in London in a few hours actually, will ask around see who knows what's going on

 

[norm9]

They are not dead

It's possible they have risen from the dead.

 

[Uhyve]

Since it seems that a death is probably off the cards, I'm gonna go with Prince Harry proposing to his american girlfriend. It's totally the sort of thing that the royals would consider an "emergency".

 

[lastplayed]

Maybe it's another royal death. The palace didn't say "no one died".

 

[Marky Mark]

Maybe it's Harry.

 

[PJV3]

It's possible they have risen from the dead.

Would we still get a day off in that situation?

 

[Chris R]

Abdicating would make sense.

Keep being Queen and deal with Trump, or step down and make Charles deal with him lol

 

[Chumley]

The Queen still lives. She will outlive all of us.

 

[lastplayed]

Abdicating would make sense.

Keep being Queen and deal with Trump, or step down and make Charles deal with him lol

Is that the kind of thing you'd hold a meeting at 3am about though?

 

[smokeymicpot]

At 3am? Harry would wait till normal hours to do that.

 

[danthefan]

She'll do very little dealing with Trump other than shaking hands with him if he ever visits the UK. That's for the government.
