Queen Elizabeth II seriously ill, children rush to Balmoral Castle in Scotland

Queen Elizabeth II, Britain’s longest serving monarch, is under medical supervision at the Balmoral Castle in Scotland with rumours of her deteriorating health condition going viral.

According to the Buckingham Palace, “Following further evaluation this morning, the Queen’s doctors are concerned for Her Majesty’s health and have recommended she remain under medical supervision.”

The palace’s statement on Thursday further escalated concerns about the Queen’s health and people started gathering outside the palace. As many as 100 people, braving torrential rain, are seen at the gates of the Buckingham Palace amid concerns over the health of Queen Elizabeth II.

“The Queen remains comfortable and at Balmoral,” a palace spokesperson said. Reports said that all the children of the Queen — Prince Charles, Princess Anne and Prince Edward are at her side in the palace while her grandson Prince William reached the Balmoral Castle.

Prince Harry, who was travelling with his wife Sussex Meghan, is planning to travel to Balmore alone. Prime Minister Prime Liz Truss is unlikely to travel to Scotland, her spokesperson told news agency Reuters on Thursday evening.

The 96-year-old monarch has been facing several health issues since October  2021 and often struggles to to walk and stand. Recently, she was seen using walking stick while meeting the newly elected PM Truss.

On hearing the condition of the Queen’s health, the traditional ceremony of the Changing of the Guard to take place outside the Buckingham Palace on Friday morning, has been called off.

 

Diana Told Camilla ‘I Want My Husband Back’: Reveal Transcriptions of Tapes

What happened when British Prince Charles’s late wife Lady Diana met the “Third Person” in their marriage Camilla Parker Bowles, with whom Charles had an affair and she later went on to become his wife upon Di’s demise?

They met at a party and the conversation was similar to what the Bollywood film “Deewar” would have had. When Don Amitabh Bachchan tells his brother Shashi Kapoor that he has got money, power and a bungalow, his police inspector brother retorts:”Mere Paas Maa Hai” (My mother is with me).

Hilarious but Diana tapes too show similar talk between the two as Diana said in her tapes: “Camilla said to me: ‘You’ve got everything you ever wanted. You’ve got all the men in the world falling in love with you, and you’ve got two beautiful children. What more could you want?’ So I said: ‘I want my husband.’” Diana wanted her husband back in every sense like any other married woman.

The transcripts of Princess Diana’s secret tapes sent to Andrew Morton in 1991 for his book “Diana: Her True Story” that came out a year after has been re-published this year (2017) with the transcripts of Diana’s secret tapes included verbatim.

Here are some astonishing facts which came to light now:

Within weeks after the fairy tale marriage in 1981, Princess Diana became so depressed with her marriage life that she tried to cut her wrists in a bid to commit suicide. “By October, I was in a very bad way. I was so depressed, and I was trying to cut my wrists with razor blades. It rained and rained and rained,” she said in the tapes, according to Daily Mail, which has published some excerpts.

From the day of her wedding, Princess Diana was looking over her shoulders for the third person in their marriage — Camilla Parker. She said: “I was obsessed by Camilla totally. I thought every five minutes he was ringing her up, asking how to handle his marriage.”

Another transcript revealed that Diana attempted suicide again while she was just four months pregnant with her first child Prince William. She said she threw herself downstairs, in a bid to get the attention of Prince Charles. Though Queen Elizabeth was horrified, Prince Charles didn’t, she noted wryly.

Next time, she revealed to her sister Jane that she had cut her chest and thighs. “The night before, I’d wanted to talk to Charles about something. He wouldn’t listen to me… So I picked up his penknife off his dressing table and scratched myself heavily down my chest and both thighs. There was a lot of blood — and he hadn’t made any reaction whatsoever,” she said in her tapes.

Next time, Diana threw herself against broken glass window piece and another time cut herself with a knife.

Queen Elizabeth’s Health Triggers Anxiety Levels in London

The long-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, Queen Elizabeth II’s health after she missed mass on Christmas Day for the first time in six decades has fuelled enough fire over the next course of events in Buckingham Palace. The palace, however, said the queen had a “heavy cold” and preferred to stay indoors, though she would participate in other ceremonies.

Queen Elizabeth II is longest reigning monarch of the United Kingdom surpassing the earlier record created by her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria, who took over India’s Queen in 1857, heralding the long British rule in the country. She is the only monarch who has visited over 115 countries so far.

Queen Elizabeth ascended the throne on February 6, 1952, at the age of 25 years and now she is 90. While other media outlets rubbished the reports in some quarters of the British media, the BBC said it was merely "undue concern”.

The queen has four children – Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward. The ledest Prince Charles is the heir to the throne even if the Queen relinquishes her throne or dies.
