Many of you will have seen the story over the weekend about the Queen cancelling her latest foreign tour. Much speculation ensued...was Prince Phillip ill, is he on his last legs, and indeed where were they supposed to be going on this well secreted state visit. Rumour suggests Dubai but its never been officially released.
But...here is the big but...arent these two far too old to be doing PR trips abroad. I mean to say the Queen is 82 and Phillip is 87. In this day and age when even female newsreaders are kicked out beyond 45 havent they dallied and hung around far too long. Isnt it time they put their feet under the table and spent their days doing a bit of mild gardening and a lot of cocoa drinking, and perhaps maybe watch a bit of Come Dancing before the great pendulum in the sky swings their way.
If I make it to 87 and someone asks me to do a PR trip to Dubai I know what I will be telling them.
But come on, its time now to hand the reins to Prince Charles, as the prospect of having two seriously ancient people doddering about from the dinosaur age and representing us on the world stage is not on anymore.Where will it end...will they still be doing it when they are 97. Enough is enough. Out to grass I say.
