The Queen is moving

Snoopp — Sun, 15 Mar 2020 11:02:28 GMT

Looks like Queen Elizabeth will be moving out of Buckingham Palace to a residence with a smaller staff and less visitors. Just to minimize the health risk due to her age. Sounds like a good idea. I wish her good health.

Did you even read the OP? "Smaller staff and less visitors" is pretty clear.

Given the number of known cases in Europe, I'm surprised it took that long for her to make that decision.

My daughter lives in the UK and she says they aren't doing much of anything in regards to the virus. On Friday the government recommended people aviod large gatherings but that has been about all they have done.

Yes, it is very clear! That poster either has no reading comprehension or just wants to badmouth the Queen...probably both.

So is this about the Queen or an opening to pile-on a poster?

@goldensrbest statement hardly merits such harshness.

She can afford to...."with her STAFF"....While her kingdom becomes ill and many die. It is all about the ROYAL.

Yes i did read the post, i still think she has plenty of staff, she could limit how many, and not use so many rooms in the palace.I have no say so on what she does,and neither do you.

@SeaMaiden Isn't it crazy how the wealthy are SO much better off in a situation like we're in right now? All the way around they have the advantage. Of course they aren't excluded from getting the virus, but they are able to make this inconvenience as kushy as possible and of course they don't have to worry about finances. What I would give to not have to worry! Even if it was just for one day I'd be happy! Let's hope the UK starts taking this thing seriously and start trying to protect their citizens asap!

If you're updating your contacts list, I believe her new address is Windsor Castle.

I disagree. It's not that simple. As to "no say so on what she does" you had yours and I have mine.

Maybe Frogmore Cottage. I heard the former tenants moved out.

@Cakers3 many posts on this board don't merit the harshness they are met with. I hope you think of that as you post. Thanks for today's chuckle.

It is my understanding that the move is due to "way overdue" upgrading on the electrical system in the palace. I think they said it would be a couple of months, but not sure. I read this about a month ago, but don't remember the source of that information. Maybe someone else has better details than me.

@SeaMaiden Really? She is an elderly woman, the head of state and of the church, she has served her country since the 1950's, she is respected by many around the world, and you don't think she deserves a little special treatment?

I think she deserves some consideration if anyone does

@Sooner, absolutely!!!! She has devoted her life to Great Britain. People on this forum who disparage her apparently know nothing about Queen Elizabeth. I suggest they educate themselves.

Also, evidently they don't know England has a Parliament and a Prime Minister who govern. Accusing Queen Elizabeth about COVID-19 and how it was/is managed in Great Britain is barking up the wrong tree, folks.
