And, and the number of things that the queen has been applies to leave. The comforts of official residences for has been a hand for most. So you can see that this is a woman of declining abilities of declining health, but we now get the impression that this is taking a significantly worse turn. And perhaps i think we should be prepared for another announcement to come, that not necessarily imminently, but for something to happen in the next few days. And of course then the country goes into a whole different mode of official morning, all that kind of thing. Prime minister lets trust, who is his has just come into office is dealing with a, an Energy Crisis we have from her earlier on today talking about capping price bills. She will have to, i think, switch gears. Very, very foss this. We do get that news from, from Buckingham Palace. Ah, she will have to then become a Prime Minister in morning. Indeed said, i mean she, weve been talking for the last couple of days about sir, how her in trey is incredibly large, but this is surely not something she would have wanted or expected. We are at the top of the hour, so i just wanted to do a time check. Its 12 g m t. This news just coming in in the last 10 minutes or so. The queen of england to Queen Elizabeth the 2nd on the medical supervision at balmoral that as a home in scotland after doctors became concerned for her health. There is a statement that has been released from Buckingham Palace saying following, following further evaluation this morning. The queens doctors all concerned for him majestys health and have recommended she remain on the medical supervision that is according to statement from Buckingham Palace as it goes on to say that the queen remains comfortable and is at balmoral. We know that Prince Charles is now with her. I believe we are now looking as a live short off her home in fall moral counsel. So what we do know is that per Prince Charles, her, her son, her eldest son, is now with her. And the duke of cambridge is on his way there, and the duchess of cornwall has also traveled to bo moral. Said this announcement coming to us officially in the last half an hour or so. The queen of course 96 years old and she has been increasingly frail a in, in recent in recent months. Lets return back to our correspondence. I so that the fact that her family members are already in balmoral on the way there, thats not a good sign. Is it know if you know that your loved one, your mother, your grandmother, whatever does not have very long live. You want to be that you want to be by that bedside. You want to say the things that have been on your minds make sure that they feel loved, make sure that they feel comfortable. These are the kinds of behaviors that you would want to do if you thought that someone was not going to live that long. I was saying before about the queens duties and, and how she has been skating back on them in recent months. She did, of course, have her platinum to believe earlier on this year. A huge celebration up and down the country many, many days where of parties and events the queen herself. I wouldnt say she was absent from them, but she would be not especially present from many of them. There was a coach rides and things like that around the streets of london that were mainly performed by other members of the role family by Prince Charles by Prince William and kate. The queen herself stayed mostly indoors. I was standing outside in the palace on one of the days of ration. And we did see the queen come out and wave to the crowds from there. But apart from that, there was not much visibility of she was clearly not particularly well then and health hasnt been good enough to to be outside much to be in front of the public much. And so this, it seems the continuation of that decline of health. Indeed, a worry challenge that we will continue to speak to rory. I just want to remind you of that statement that came in from Buckingham Palace in the last sort of half an hour or so. A saying the following, that off to further evaluation this morning. The queen stokes is all concern for her majestys health. Unhappy recommended that she remain on the medical supervision. The queen remains comfortable and is at balmoral this is of course her home in scotland now weve also had from the new british Prime Minister who only met the queen, went to see the queen a few days ago. Mistrust she issued this statement about the queen. The whole country will be deeply confined by denise from Buckingham Palace, this lunchtime, my thoughts and thoughts of people across our United Kingdom on with him majesty the queen and her family at this time. Now weve also heard for a month the case opposition, leda kissed alma he has said, in a statement, along with the rest of the country, i am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace alternate. My thoughts with her majesty queen and her family at this time, and i join every one across the United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery. Well, we all hearing that members of the queens close family, ah, either on the way to balmoral or have already already by his side britons. Prince charles, who is of course, hence add to the throne is already that Prince William is on his way traveling to the Queen Elizabeths residence at Balmoral Castle in scotland and went also hearing the duchess of co is, is also making her way that best return to rory challenz, who was in london. Frost rory. So i mean, its been, its been it, it has been a difficult time for the queen in recent years. It wasnt too long ago that she lost her beloved husband, who shed been with a very, very long time. It took us through those events, yet ive been many, many crises that piled over the royal family. In recent years, you had crises like the death of her husband, as he mentioned there, Prince Philip, who have been by her side most of her life. Pretty much basically a loyal companion. Someone who had been controversial in many of the things that he had said and believe it over the years, but nevertheless, a man who had stood by his side who knew essentially what his duty was during his years as the queens companion. You also have crises like the legal problem, the Prince Charles, as the future king has been through recently with his charities, which have had a kind of cash for favors stand or breaking over them, involving saudi royalty, their crises, such as the legal problems that her son Prince Andrew, her other son over at sandra is being through regarding jeffrey yet saying the, the american convicted pay to file and his association with jeffrey. Ive seen it not been an easy few years for the queen or for the royal family. And of course, you know, for any monarch that has been in on the throne for so many years, there are plenty of other crises that you could point see. Look further back to the death of princess diana. And the way that the royal family responded to that switch to a lot of criticism at the time as being unfeeling of not really understanding or sympathizing with, with the mood of the country who are more or less loves princess diana, that she had been estranged from the royal family for some years before her death because of her divorce from Prince Charles like these things have mounted up. But advocates, alls fans of the royal family say that the queen, throughout all of this has been this, this force for stability. That whatever the crises that have come through, the queens essential philosophy has beamed that her personality, or even the personalities of those surrounding her and her family are of secondary importance to the institution of monarchy itself. And that the institution of monarchy is essential to the well being of the United Kingdom and that therefore as long as the marquis itself remains fable, then the u. K. Can remain stable as well. While if you are just joining us, i think its worth another recap. We are getting news from the United Kingdom in the last are coming out to half an hour. So the queen of england is on well, we understand shes on that medical supervision at our moral. Thats her home in scotland after doctors became concerned for her health. We received a statement or Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying thats a following father evaluation this morning. The queens doctors have been concerned for her majestys health and have recommended that she remain at bell moral. Weve also had from the new british Prime Minister list trust her, of course just met with the queen just a few days ago as her home in scotland. Or when she was officially appointed. As the new Prime Minister. She has said in parliament, not too long ago, that the whole country will be deeply concerned by the news from Buckingham Palace vis lunchtime she goes on to say my thoughts and thoughts of people across all United Kingdom. On with him majesty the queen and her family at this time, the leader of the opposition caste alma he, he is also stood up in parliament to say the following alone with the rest of the country. Im deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon. My thoughts a with her majesty the queen and her family at this time, and i joined everyone across United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery. I said what youre looking at there is a live shot of the queens home in scotland. That is balmoral. Shes been base there for some time. Weve been hearing that shes had mobility issues. But what were hearing is that a close family is now either on its way that to her or is already with her. A Prince Charles, we understand is now at balmoral and the prince. William is on his way there. Let sir now speak to Christopher Wilson, hes a royal biographer and commentator. He joins me now from devin. Good to have you on the program. You will reaction to a what were hearing at the moment. Well, of course, i think we just have to wait and see how things go. But ive been speaking to people in scotland and i think that we can take it that the queens life is coming to an end. Tell us a little bit about how shes been doing recently. I mean, weve been hearing about how shes had mobility issues, which is why shes been based in belmore or rather than sort of traveling to the traveling to london, which normally would have what are you hearing about . I think what is remarkable about the sovereign is that she has clung to the throne and to her job until a very last moment. I think we can see that her pals have been declining for the last year. The very least. And she has on a very, very good job in managing what shes able to do and putting from her things that she wasnt able to do. Shes gone far longer than anybody expected to do. Shes not 6 years old and she is doing. But she has done all that she possibly can to retain the strings of power. And the very idea that she was able to stand upright a couple of days ago and greet the new Prime Minister. It would have been an iron will and determination on her part that she should do that to show that she is still sovereign until the moment she dies and is a very beautiful heart warming picture and list trust will have been glad to meet her on that day, i mean she, she, shes such an important person, isnt she for the people at the United Kingdom and people all over . Why give us a sense, i mean, your royal biographer, why does she mean so much to so many . I think the term she is a thread of continuity, which has taken the nation through. I mean, there are people who are 80 or 90 years old in great britain, who as it were, sold as princess, become a queen and have lived with her through thick and thin through changing times. Or that time its very reassuring, in a changing world that some things remain the same. And then for each new generation thats come, people have been born and died within the space of rain. She has always been, she is a constant in peoples lives in this country. She has meant so much. Lets talk a little bit about her husband Prince Philip, who had been by his side from, from a very, very long time from when she was in her early twenties. Hes been, he was with us throughout the entire time. He stood by her side. How difficult do you think its been for her since losing him . I think that we can see there was a turn in the road, but the moment that he died at that point, she weakened perceptibly. I perfectly understand of the, i mean he had stood by her. He had been her support. The only person really in her royal family that she could trust, rely on and you know, the loss of him at her extremely advanced age was really more than she was able to cope with. But and, and so what we saw was a slight retreat. But it was nothing like the retreat of other sovereigns, and other times she kept on doing what she could do. She kept on being as visible as she could. She mastered doing zoom meetings and so forth in order to be able to keep in contact with the outside world and show that she was still a queen. Quite a remarkable act. But of course, the loss of prince that it really did change the game. Yes, he was absolutely incredible. Always looks fantastic as her best in the most beautiful f clothes of seats. And as you say that he didnt days even 2 days ago. Yeah. She had this astonishing smile. That has been a political turmoil in britain for the last 3 or 4 months. And her vision of the politicians which serve this country must possibly have deteriorated. And yet she greeted the new Prime Minister with a wonderful, welcoming smile and a handshake. She was even carrying her signature hand bag even though there was no need for that. But you know, she was determined to show that the show still goes off and even such a wonderful picture person of course, going through a very, very difficult time. The people at the United Kingdom weve been talking about that their high cost of living, the energy bails its, its such a difficult time for them. And the queen, of course, means so much to so many. I mean it couldnt. This sort of nice couldnt come out of west time, could it . I think thats absolutely right. I mean, we have, as you say, weve gone through a very difficult time recently. And rather like the king and queen during the 2nd world war 26, great mother. And if everything was really horrible, what you could do is rest your thoughts on something neutral and bother cameras and rest your mind. And the queen provided that in these times, all the way through covered all the way through the problems which weve had to place ever since. Shes been constant, something that is non controversial, non political, and just something that you can rest your mind on a feel good about. You are a biographer and i just want to ask you the way things are being handled at the moment. The fact that we, we received the statement from Buckingham Palace, we know that Prince Charles is there with her and bar morrow. And Prince William is on his way there. I mean, what do you read into all that . I mean, what do you think . Well, i think that the, the fact that we all being told that charles is on his way. William is on his way. I think the palace never wants to create a sense of anxiety around a long time. They what they try to do, dont play everything, but i think the fact that they are now saying that the next king and his successor are on the way to morrow suggests that we are now entering the last phase of the queens life. And we dont know how long that will be, and many will hope that she will recover. But i think she has served her country, but nearly 100 years and must comp time when her life comes to an end. Indeed. C if it is indeed does come to that is very, very sad moment talk her through the procedure. What exactly happens if the queen does pass away . Well, this in a highly elaborate sets of instructions. Its called operation london bridge. And what it will do is over the next few days, if we should die. There is a highly regimented and well organized state arrangement which will take us through her lying in state, a funeral, her memorial service, and the various are public occasions which will close around the end of her re. Its all been organized for a very long time. Shes been aware of all the things that are going to happen. She will put her name to list so there will be no surprises for those around the world founded as to whats going to happen next. Its all be in session train. Okay. Ah, Christopher Wilson, royal biographer, really good to get your thoughts. Joining us back from devon in the United Kingdom. Lets just recap where we are at and we are hearing of course about the fact that the queen of england, Queen Elizabeth the 2nd is that medical supervision at a moral which is a home in scotland. We received a statement from Buckingham Palace saying the following, following further evaluation this morning, the queens doctors all concerned for her majestys health and have recommended that she remain under medical supervision, clean remains comfortable at belmore. Now we know that the queens close family have been informed of the doctors consents, fortunes, Prince Charles and Prince William have travelled to ball moral council in scullen, which is of course, Queen Elizabet
