The Queen in hospital.

The spokesman said the queen was at the King Edward VII Hospital for precautionary assessments and may remain there for a couple of days.

Let's hope it is just precautionary. Get well soon your maj 

So how much of a royalist are you. I'm sort of torn 50/50
I think there good for the country. We need a 'Head' so to speak.
Not sure about how much of my tax goes into their upkeep though. Policing/security etc.
But again, that keeps people in jobs.

Well I'm a fan of the royal family and am convinced that they bring in lots of tourists - plus I love the idea that we have something the Americans will never have...

Not that big a Royalist and admit that Charlie and his darling put me off even more. I thought he should have acted better than he did with the Camilla saga. A man in his postion to be future King (well I hope not) should be better behaved.
I like his sons though, they are fresh and young with some of their mums gutsy spirit in them, Prince Philip makes me laugh bet he was a rogue in his younger days  and the Queen - needs to get into this era and smaile more, although I reckon for a lady of her age she does fantastically well - but then again she will have been looked after fantastically well - bet she didn't have to black lead her fireplace 
Too many hangers on for my liking, get rid of some of those - and yes I would be more acceptable of them

Gastroenteritis. Apparently she spent a long time on the throne.
