    I’m not a “detractor” of hers and have no issue with her as a person. It’s the idea of a monarchy which I disagree with

    I think they're just waiting for the rest of the family to get there. There's too much now happening for it not to be the end.

    Let's hope the BBC announce first and not some rando on Twitter.

    I await Meghan's complaint that it took the attention off her.

    And I've just remembered I'm delivering daughter number two to her new digs in the centre of Edinburgh on Saturday. Two streets away from Waverley, where the Royal Train will probably be....

    The first news will be an announcement from the Prime Minister. I doubt they'll let this leak out before that.

    Only famous person who I cried at the death of was rik mayall. 3 times. I'm no royalist but I might shed a tear when the queen dies. Can't really explain why. She's just always been around.

    It's weird, isn't it? I'm on the office on my own, but it feels like half the planet's holding it's breath.

    No, Britain needs to move on with the times, Royal family's are out-dated. We need something modern, something 21st century, like a reality TV show "Britain's Next Constitutional Monarch"

    How them 2 have the nerve to show up is beyond me. They have shown nothing but mass disrespect for our Queen for the last few years. That tramp should have been stopped at the gates of Balmoral and told to piss off.

    Devastated at reading the news reports on this. I’m not a massive Royalist, but it feels like we’re losing the head of our country, a wonderful ambassador, and a strong piece of the bond that holds our nation together.
    Best wishes Your Majesty.

    It's his bloody grandma man. He'll be absolutely devastated. Family are allowed to disagree and make choices that others wouldn't agree with. What plays out in public isn't the full story and she will want him there. It's her grandson.

    Jesus. Imagine if someone tried to stop you visiting your dying grandma cause you'd had an argument?! You're mentally not all there pal. Put down the red tops and sharpen up.

    Hmm, Harry/Megan get slaughtered by the racist Daily Heil everyday, I am not sure being a echo chamber for the mail is good.

    Although I do admit they act like a pair of self-opinionated plonkers. But she is his granny (possibility)

    It took a lot for her to recognise the passing of Diana

    Certain members of her family may not have behaved with decorum from time to time, but she has been an absolute bastion of propriety throughout her reign. I doubt we'll ever have another monarch who will be revered throughout the world, as she will. God bless her!
