You're right. I'd better not leave the house.

What about ITN / Sky ?

I've also noticed a lack of banter on News 24 - I think we're looking at someone senior.

Felicity Barr on ITV is wearing black.

I presume there will be an embargo whatever has happened.

I didn't notice any major change in style on the 6 (ie in terms of lack of banter, particularly somber dress).

Didn't we have a similar thread last month, and it went to several pages suggesting everyone from Phillip to one of the corgis? Shocked Confused Rolling Eyes

ITV News are in normal clothes (dark grey - silver tie/white blouse).

If a royal was about to "shuffle off this mortal coil" then the biggest hint would be the government announcing something embarassing at the same time that they can "bury" in all the fake grief and mourning! Shocked

Then that can only mean they have managed to resuscitate Her Majesty.

Obviously.

The Queen was hit by a runaway hysteria?

Why are Sky so slow with breaking news? I'm outraged.

That's the difficulty with all this appointment to view craziness. Isn't Julie Etchasketch meant to be tackling the issues right now? Priorities!
You should also be aware that any news channels not conforming to the new dress code are the enemy.
