The Queen Tests Positive For Covid
Buckingham palace and its usual tricks.
Last week, the monarchy had a very difficult time at the hands of the press and the wider public.
The news that her majesty had paid for her son’s out of court settlement left a very bad taste in the collective mouths of the British people. Especially at a time when millions of people in and around Britain are paying dearly for the Conservative’s inimical social and economic policies.
But what was interesting about last week were the stories that didn’t make the headlines:
· That her majesty had contracted Covid well over a fortnight ago and was quite poorly for the better part of the last week.
· The decisions which were made on the question of Camilla’s role and Prince Andrew were shaped by the precarious state of the Queen’s health.
For It seemed as though she wasn’t going to make it.
And yet, all the British people got was silence from Buckingham palace.
Radio silence.
And just as we were coming to terms with the decision of the Queen regarding her son and the Virginia Giuffre abuse scandal, then the news came like a thunderbolt from the palace a few minutes ago.
