The Queen is not well
I've got a feeling that this is it for the Queen.
Even Harry and Meghan are on their way there to Balmoral.

All the Queen's children are either at, or are travelling to, her Scottish estate near Aberdeen.
"Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen's doctors are concerned for Her Majesty's health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision," a statement said.
The Queen is comfortable, it added.
It is very unusual for Buckingham Palace to put out a statement like this - it is usually unwilling to provide a commentary on the 96-year-old monarch's medical matters, which are seen as private.
Prince Charles has travelled to Balmoral with his wife, the Duchess of Cornwall.
The Duke of York and the Count and Countess of Wessex are travelling to the Scottish estate, about 40 miles (64km) west of Aberdeen.
The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, was already in Scotland undertaking engagements.
The Duke of Cambridge is also on his way, with the Duchess of Cambridge remaining in Windsor with their children on their first full-day at school.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who were due to attend a charity event in London, are travelling to Balmoral, their spokesperson said.
Barriers are being placed outside one of the entrances to the estate.
There are clearly pressing concerns for the Queen's health - much more explicitly put than before and without any reference to this only being about difficulties with mobility.
There are also warnings against unfounded speculation, such as that she might have had a fall. And on Tuesday she was on her feet and photographed smiling as she appointed new Prime Minister Liz Truss.
But from the last-minute cancellation of what would only have been a virtual meeting of the Privy Council - of senior ministers - there is no mistaking the fragility of the Queen's health.

Queen Elizabeth II, the UK's longest-serving monarch, has died at Balmoral aged 96, after reigning for 70 years.
She died peacefully on Thursday afternoon at her Scottish estate, where she had spent much of the summer.
The Queen came to the throne in 1952 and witnessed enormous social change.
Her son King Charles III said the death of his beloved mother was a "moment of great sadness" for him and his family and that her loss would be "deeply felt" around the world.
He said: "We mourn profoundly the passing of a cherished sovereign and a much-loved mother.
"I know her loss will be deeply felt throughout the country, the realms and the Commonwealth, and by countless people around the world."
During the coming period of mourning, he said he and his family would be "comforted and sustained by our knowledge of the respect and deep affection in which the Queen was so widely held".
The King and his wife, Camilla, now Queen Consort, will return to London on Friday, Buckingham Palace said.
Senior royals had gathered at Balmoral after the Queen's doctors became concerned about her health earlier in the day.
All the Queen's children travelled to Balmoral, near Aberdeen, after doctors placed the Queen under medical supervision.
Her grandson and now heir to the throne, Prince William, and his brother, Prince Harry, also gathered there.

Re: The Queen is not well
Thanks to off shore tax havens which allowed her to never pay income tax to her own country.
I would rather die than sell my heart and soul to an online forum Anti Christ like you Monk

That only tells a fraction of the story.
Wow -
King Charles III to inherit $38 billion fortune.
While a $148 million salary would be the envy of just about anyone, The Queen also owned around $38 billion in assets.
The assets include the Crown Estate, as well as Buckingham Palace, the Duchy of Lancaster, the Duchy of Cornwall, Kensington Palace and the Crown Estate Scotland.
The Monarch is not entitled to sell any of these assets, unsurprisingly, but the Royal Family does receive 25 per cent of the profits from the Crown Estate income.

Doubt that. She does not have to pay ANY tax but has volunteered to do so.lisa jones wrote: ↑Sat Sep 10, 2022 7:14 amThanks to off shore tax havens which allowed her to never pay income tax to her own country.
