I've just been looking at some other threads and noticed that ABC News are supposed to be broadcasting live from within Buckingham Palace this week and other royal estates. Perfect positioning for them to report a big story. They must have a lot more resourced in the country at the moment.

I would have thought that if the broadcaster knew what was going on and possibly a time when the embargo was lifted they would not do they usual "and at nine ....."

Sorry if the post seemed obvious and irrelevant, I am as intrigued as the rest of you and am trying to work out the situation like the other members.


I was thinking the same thing. It could just be that the newsreader doesn't know when the embargo was to be lifted.

Lets see who has been wearing black today:

All women on every bulletin since 1:00 at the latest
Judy Finnigan
Sports Presenters

and the newsreaders don't seem to be as ready to add-lib or interact with each other

That is (was) to promote London to American's following the London Bombings.

N24 has said it will be talking about Prince Charles & Camilla in 10 mins. Hmmm

They're off on their first foreign trip as a married couple this week, so I don't think you can read anything into that.

surely someone on this forum must have contacts to the media?

Some of our more regular contributors who are insiders are conspicuous by their absence. And I can see that we have up to twenty five regular forumers visible and on line at the same time, but none of our insiders are.

If someone on this forum did know, they wouldn't let on. There could be a court order for all we know.

The royal correspondant on News 24 (regarding Panorama / royal staff member quitting) is also wearing black.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply they already knew something. It was just to point out that they had a big royal story this week already.
