If she pegs it, what does that mean for our extra holidays in June?

Had already been thinking what happens if she pegs it beforehand. Presumably that weekend becomes a memorial weekend with the bonus of additonal days off for a day of mourning, ma'am's funeral and the coronation of Charles.

We get holidays if she dies, right? Do we also get holidays for Charles' coronation? That, along with the early June bank holidays would be fantastic.

I mean, obviously I hope she pulls through and all that, but I think it's important for the Nation's mental health we focus on the positives at this difficult time.

Interested in the optics of the Queen pegging it and BJ rescinding all covid restrictions the next day

Even if said in jest, this is absolutely disgusting.

The Queen has cancelled her zoom calls today, but we are being told her symptoms are mild and cold like.
I bet she's feeling crappy today. The Palace never give the public the truth

So so true

Something ain't right as I'm pretty sure lizards can't get Covid 🤔

Trending on Twitter she pegged it because of some no mark news account.

She wasn’t watching our stream was she?

08.00 On BBC Radio 4 they played The National Anthem as a Birthday present for Brenda. BoJo can't accuse the BBC of dissing Lilibet. God Save the Queen, long may she reign. ( As an aside, did you know that God Save the Queen is one of the few examples of the subjunctive mood in the English Language ? )

Always assumed it was an imperative command - cos even God obeys what the English tell him to do - but thinking about it, it is a rare subjunctive in English-speaking [pedants' corner: usually we use something like should+infinitive verb instead]

She's going to miss the opening of Parliament tomorrow, with Charles and Wills stepping in with a double act. They must be trying to keep her going until the jubilee.
