As far as I am aware, that is where it started.

Is Popbitch the only source reporting these rumours?


If we're talking about Camilla, as this thread leads me to conclude, then there's a big piece in today's People about it.

If we're talking about someone else, then the above link becomes rather less useful in the context of this thread...

It's not Camilla. But at the end of the church service yesterday, Camilla + guests did sing a song about the subject of the rumour.

I've no steer on this apart from the basic rumour, but it doesn't have a ring of authenticity to it. Hope I'm right.

Come on, tell us who you're talking about. It'll be more fun.

It's the Queen.

And it's probably bollocks, like most of Popbitch.

EDIT: Just to expand. The theory being that Chaz and Camilla had their marriage rushed through (3 decades is hardly a rush) so that they were ready to take on the throne, as the Queen has a terminal illness and is dying.

And again, probably bollocks.

I don't believe that for a moment. The Queen will probably outlive Charles at the rate she's going.

Her Maj is the only one of the royals I admire. The rest are arrogant s**ts.

Sounds it to me. She didn't look in when she was in Bristol a few weeks ago!!

Mind you (not that I'm adding to this rumour mill), didn't she have a problem with skin cancer a while back?

Could your non-internet-based source have got the info from the net or is it a more authoritative source?

It can't really be very nice, if you're a famous person and you hear preperations are being made for your death! You can understand Courtney Love getting so upset about hearing her obituary had already been written. But at the same time, I guess it is an honour in a strange sort of way, as it would be to get a massive obit in the papers. Only a very few get, for example, an entire page of the Guardian devoted to them - the last person before the Pope was Ronald Reagan.
