A new book about the BRF and its security has been released. The information in the article mostly relates to events in the past but goes into a bit of detail on how the family members are trained to react to hostage situations.

The Queen has cancelled plans to travel to Northern Ireland today on her doctor's advice and is resting. It's not covid related. At the age of 95, it's sensible rather than serious.

I hope she has a relaxing few days now. Perhaps a couple of short walks in the gardens in the fresh air. At 95 it?s only natural that the Queen?s engagements have to be cancelled sometimes.

Happy to read that it's not COVID related and I hope that she has a good rest and will be able to reschedule the trip to Northern Ireland in the coming weeks or months.

Not a surprise, after 1 day of activities, at that age, next day at 95 has to rest.

Breaking: The Queen spent Wednesday night in hospital (king Edward VII where PP was treated), but was back at home at Windsor Castle for lunch the next day.

I wonder whether she was experiencing pain in her legs, so they decided to do a check up. The Queen has been standing and walking more than usual since the lockdown ended, and last week was very busy.

Well, if the Queen doesn?t turn up in Glasgow then it may portend something more serious. Until then just must hope for the best..

The trouble is that the natural desire of individual royals to keep ailments of theirs private and  out of the public arena too often melds with the BP mantra of ?Absolutely everything is fine, nothing to see here, move along please? whenever any senior royal has to go into hospital.

This makes for opaqueness, just bland and cheery statements about ?minor procedures? and  royals ?on top of the world?, so no-one gets the true picture until almost the end.

I emphasise I?m NOT saying at all that this is the case with the Queen, but it does give one pause for thought when the PR for Prince Philip was hyped up in those last weeks of his life. First of all he was just a bit under the weather, followed by news he was just going into hospital for a test or two, then we heard he was being taken home to die in his own bed.

The British public don?t need to know every single detail of treatment, but the other way breeds mistrust the next time. Just  a wee bit more candour about how things really are wouldn?t go astray, IMO.

The very careful wording, such as "preliminary investigation" or whatever it was, and "remains in good spirtis"  is a scary thing to hear, because it says absolutely nothing and we wonder if something really is wrong.
