Thing is, they wouldn't do any of that stuff on the day of the local council elections and a month before a general election.

Yeah I said that in my previous post so I really have no idea what it could be, just throwing out mindless speculation based on speculation :P

Well it could be the announcement of plans to abdicate in the near future, or perhaps plans that when she does die or abdicate, that Charles will immediately abdicate to allow William to take the throne.

Or if we're reading into the 'constitutional implications' then perhaps they are changing things so William can automatically become King once the Queen is gone rather than Charles, either through nomination by the existing Monarch or otherwise.

There is a lot of demand for William to become King and it would do wonders for the perception of the Royal Family.

I think it's extremely unlikely that anyone is going to abdicate given they believe that they were appointed by God.

But I guess we'll see...

Well if Liz was going to break her impartiality, one party leader is a republican, so I'm pretty sure it's obvious where her loyalties would lie.

True, the whole thing apparently going down at 3AM doesn't fit as well.

Only real option left is that she finally finished Persona 5 and has an immediate decree to make Makoto the next in line for the throne.
 
Maybe the Tories have really fucked up badly (election expenses) and some kind of mass arrest of MPs is imminent. So some kind of thing has been invoked to delay the general election.

That'd be fucking awesome. But wouldn't involve royal staff so unlikely.
 
She's dissolving Brexit Act - my guess

According to Radio 4 - no deaths at all. No health issues. What Comes out of it will though be very significant

APPLAUSE

Though seriously, what if May convinced her to take a partisan position on the election.
 
She's going to split the country down the middle and we'll have Brexit Britain and EU Britain because she's sick of the bullshit we've had for the last few years :)

... or a Corgi has died.

So... It looks like the sun jumped the gun, posted a placeholder indicating that Prince Phillip had died, then changed it to a "who even is Prince Phillip" page.

Wait - that's actually real. If you Google it, the old page comes up but when you click it's the same URL and it's been updated.

Unless The Sun are just covering their bases?

It's a prewrite. Many news companies have news obits ready to go. This one was just in progress and some dumbass hit publish

They probably just have articles ready for different scenarios so they can have them out as soon as possible if they happen to be true.

Probably just a mistake, it's one of their prepared obituaries for a major death. Philip has 'died' a few times now.

Yeah, but odd that it was updated this morning then accidentally published this morning.

Probably just covering themselves.

I'm going to be really disappointed if no one is dead after all this!

Someone probably just made a few updates to the article and accidentally clicked public.
