That feels like given the chaos dimension we live in that means it's almost certain to happen.

It's definitely possible, if she dies overnight they will want to wait until the morning news to announce it, sometime between 6 and 8am. But they'll have someone watching every single news service worldwide with their finger on the button to go if it leaks.

The fact that she held on just long enough that Boris got fired first is just perfect though.

The Smiths have always been ok, one of the ironic things about the singers tragic suicide in 1987 is that they never managed to taint their legacy with problematic takes.

The Queen said she stopped breeding Corgis because her wish was that none of them outlive her.

Does that count as a royal decree to execute those dogs in the event of her death under English common law?

What if a journalist is looking at London Bridge and it falls down? How would they report that without everyone thinking the Queen is dead?

If she dies in Wales it's Operation Laverbread.
