Thread: Updates on the marvelous #PlatinumJubilee year of my head of state, HM the Queen.

I've written many threads in recent years about the shenanigans of certain recalcitrant family members. This time I bring concerning news of potential exposure to Covid.😟

Obviously I send get well soon wishes for Charles (and Camilla, who is likely to also test positive.)

I'm fiercely loyal the Queen, and Charles, and William. And their consorts were and are incredible, loved, and respected people too.

That color photo above is recent and was released to mark the anniversary of 70 years on the throne, on February 6 this year.

HM is thriving like never before, and she turns 96 on April 21, 2022. The Queen's Birthday celebrations in June each year are timed for summer.

In the past I've criticized Charles and William for certain things that I now believe were unfounded. These three exceptional public servants have been working tirelessly behind the scenes for years, quietly planning a solid future for the monarchy of which they are custodians.

They live by the family motto "never complain, never explain." OK Charles has complained at times, about postwar architecture, for example. But he's really mellowed in his senior years. Like other current working members of the family, his work during the pandemic is brilliant.

I was extremely heartened by HM's recent statement that included her "sincere wish" that her daughter in law be known, in due course, as Queen Camilla.

At the time of their 2005 wedding I predicted this would eventually happen. The idea of her being "Princess Consort" was daft.

HM has always approved of Camilla's official entry into the family. Her public expression on the chapel steps, and her private wedding reception speech that day confirmed it. So did British poet laureate Sir Andrew Motion with "Spring Wedding":

Most of what's said in the media, esp. in the US, is anti-monarchist propaganda. Netflix's "The Crown" is a tissue of lies. No wonder Prince William has spoken out about these dishonest portrayals of his own beloved mother's life.

William knows what caused her death that night.

So does his chronically dishonest, narcissistic younger brother.

Diana, Princess of Wales, was well known for refusing to always wear a seatbelt. If she had been wearing one that night in Paris, she probably would have survived.

Both of her sons know this.

Unfortunately I find it necessary to bust a few myths whenever I write a thread about the British monarchy.

Back to the topic: Prince Charles has tested +ve for Covid for a second time, which is not unusual with the Omicron variant in particular. And he recently visited HM.

Knowing about HM's life story & personality as I do, I am sure she took advice & decided to emerge from "HMS Bubble" in recent weeks & months, while taking all reasonable precautions like most of us do.

Statistically, I think she would likely survive Covid if contracted rn.

But as in life, there are no guarantees. The photos and videos released this month show a spritely, optimistic, happy 95 year old woman. The Queen is truly remarkable. She is living life to the full every day.

Best wishes, Ma'am.
