So if they are holding off on the announcement until Harry arrives, which one of the tabloids is going to go for the "Harry murders Queen. Stress of ungrateful grandson's presence too much for frail monarch" story? It pretty much writes itself.

Boris was also saying we wouldn't get an extra day off for the coronation. I can see Truss reversing both of those to look magnanimous though.

Truss collapsing the government because she sneezed on the Queen and killed her sounds like a literal bad farce; one of those ones that Rowan Atkinson stars in to buy another supercar.

Oh god yes please let this get some traction

Like almost nobody will seriously believe it, but if it could be like the dead pig stuff for cameron as something that won't go away and keeps popping up to haunt her every now and then.

Would make sitting through the next few weeks of self-indulgeant national wallowing almost bearable

There's procedures in place for how to handle this stuff, every minute the queen is dead but it's unannounced by the BBC is another minute that one of the American news services with a source in the palace could announce it first. They know she's going to die shortly, but if she actually dies before 8pm they'll announce it pretty much right away.

Remember they bumped a king off early because it was seen as inappropriate for the death to be announced in the Evening papers. Now imagine how that same establishment would see it were the death announced first on MSNBC.

Nah, it'd be 100% directed at Megan. Something like the stress of dealing with her turning Harry against the family was too much for the Queen to bear.

Or some overt dogwhistingling about how the Queen's symptoms are very similar to some DANGEROUS FOREIGN AFRICAN DISEASE that Megan could have passed on or something.
