Queen ‘is dying and Camilla has evil plot to claim throne’?

An American tabloid has published a shocking  front cover claiming that Queen Elizabeth is dying and the Duchess of Cornwall  has an ‘evil plot’ to seize the throne.

Globe magazine alleges that the 86-year-old  monarch is ‘sick and fading fast.’

The cover of the weekly magazine shows a  close-up photo of the Queen with the headline ‘World Exclusive – Queen dying!’

According to the magazine, the Queen’s health  problem has triggered a bitter battle for the crown by her daughter-in-law  Camilla.

The Duchess of Cornwall is frequently the  target of negative coverage by the magazine.

The publication claims she is trying to  sabotage Prince William and Kate Middleton from stepping up to the  throne.

‘The Queen’s condition is fading and ruthless  Camilla has been plotting,’ a source told the magazine.

While Buckingham Palace refused to comment on  the claims, the Queen’s recent public schedule has still been robust.

On Friday the Queen and the Duke of  Edinburgh were photographed saying farewell to the President of  Indonesia, Dr  Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his wife at Buckingham  Palace.

The day before she unveiled a colourful  stained glass window to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee at the Chapel of the  Savoy in London.

Globe magazine, which is published in  Florida, is no stranger to controversy.

In 1997, it caused outrage when it printed  autopsy photos of the murdered child beauty queen JonBenét Ramsey.

In her hometown of Boulder, Colorado, many  stores were so outraged by the publication that they took the edition off the  stands.

In 2010 it published a front cover  with a  picture of actor Gary Coleman during his last hours – sparking  outrage  throughout the world.

In the photograph Coleman can be seen on his  hospital bed, hooked up to  equipment whilst his ex-wife, Shannon Price poses  next to him.

The headline shouts ‘It was murder’ and  credits the picture as the ‘Last photo.

The publication covers a widespread range of  topics, including politics,  celebrity news, human interest and high-profile  crime stories.

But it also frequently features the British  Royal family on its pages.

Past allegations that have been plastered  across the front cover include  ‘Camilla’s suicide attempt! Breaks leg in  terrifying leap,’ and Princess Diana’s secret daughter!’

Kate Middleton has now also become a  staple  for the magazine – since her 2011 wedding she has been dogged by media rumours  that she is pregnant.

But Globe magazine took the story further and  claimed she was pregnant, and miscarried her first child with Prince  William.

They ran the headline: ‘Kate  loses baby! Her  crushing heartbreaking as William leaves for military  duty.’

The shocking allegations about Queen  Elizabeth’s health come during at difficult year for the royal family  and  their relationship with the media.

In September Prince William and Kate were  said to be ‘devastated’ after  hundreds of intimate snaps of the Duchess were  published.

The explicit photographs were taken as the  Duke and Duchess holidayed at a secluded Provence chateau  owned by the Queen’s  nephew, Viscount Linley.

A strongly worded Palace statement compared  the photographs to the ‘worst excesses of the Press and paparazzi during the  life of Diana’.

The photos, shot with a long lens, exposed  her breasts and bottom on swimming pool terrace.

They were first published in French Closer  magazine, and then in numerous other countries, including Italy and  Ireland.

Prince William called for the photographer  responsible to be jailed – a possibility which is technically possible  thanks  to France’s strict privacy laws.

Only a few weeks previously it would have  been hard to miss the  sensationalised media storm that erupted when pictures of  a naked Prince Harry in Vegas were leaked to the world  press.

The slightly grainy snap shots were  taken on  a camera phone during a private party in the five-star Encore  Wynn resort where  was pictured playing ‘strip billiards’ with pretty young girls.

Queen Latifah: I'm "Totally" Adopting a Child

The Queen is ready for an heir.
During a chat with the ladies of The View Wednesday, Queen Latifah, 42, revealed she's considering starting a family of her own through adoption.
When co-host Barbara Walters asked the Joyful Noise actress if she would ever adopt, Latifah told Walters, "I'm actually kind of working on that."

Kate Middleton Dissed & Demoted By The Queen – Prince William Devastated

Poor Kate! The Queen is furious that the popular Royal newlywed is stealing HER spotlight and she’s out to remind her that she’s not a born Royal – so there! Here’s what she’s done!
Kate Middleton – don’t outshine Queen Elizabeth! That’s what Kate is finding out the hard way after her husband Prince William‘s grandmother just gave her the Royal equivalent of a smackdown!

Just after the Queen’s Royal Jubilee celebrating her 60 years on the throne, Elizabeth II issued an official revision of The Royal Household Order of Precedence and Kate, 30 is now required to curtsy to Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson‘s two daughters, Princess Beatrice, 23, and Princess Eugenia, 22.

And she has to do that whether they’re in public or private, and all because the princesses – infamous for their insane fascinators at the Royal Wedding – were born Royals, while Kate is only a commoner.

Making this even more humiliating – according to Life & Style magazine – Kate isn’t required to curtsy to Beatrice and Eugenia when she’s with her husband, William. Talk about making Kate feel like an appendage.

“It’s a total humiliation for Kate,” a source in Kate and William’s social circle told Life & Style magazine. “It’s like a demotion for her in the royal family, and the queen is the one who ordered this.”

So what’s set off this Royal attack on Kate? It seems that Kate has committed two sins in the Queen’s eyes. #1) Her popularity has eclipsed the Queen, just like William’s mother, Princess Diana‘s did – and the Queen was infuriated by Diana, the “People’s Princess.” Now, she wants the upper hand over Kate.

The Queen wants to nip Kate’s confidence right in the bud and not have her get too carried away with all the popular attention she’s received. In other words, she’s jealous and she’s exercising some royal retaliation.

#2) The Queen is outraged by Kate’s sometimes expensive wardrobe. Even though Kate is infamous for re-wearing her clothes and wearing $89 and $200 dresses, her occasional pricey splurge has put the Queen’s Royal nose out of joint.

She’s upset about expensive gowns like a $4500 Jenny Packham gorgeous jade gown or $1850, stunning red Alexander McQueen dress.

Prince William is apparently freaked out about his grandmother’s new edict and her behavior. The future heir witnessed the “pain and anguish his mom went through,” at the hands of the Queen and he will not stand by and allow Kate to be unhappy.

Furthermore, he and Kate must feel so unappreciated by the ungrateful Queen who apparently asked the young couple to delay trying for a baby until after her jubilee.

She didn’t want a new royal bump being the star attraction of the event – instead of her Royalness.

Kate Middleton Dissed — Forced To Curtsy For Princesses

Let’s hope that William – the future king – speaks up sooner rather than later and doesn’t let his beloved wife be humiliated like his beautiful and spirited late mother! History must NOT repeat itself!

Britain's queen shakes hands with ex-IRA chief

BELFAST (Reuters) - Britain's Queen Elizabeth shook the hand of former IRA guerrilla commander Martin McGuinness for the first time on Wednesday, drawing a line under a conflict that cost the lives of thousands of soldiers and civilians, including that of her cousin.
The meeting with McGuinness, who is now the deputy first minister of Northern Ireland, comes 14 years after the Irish Republican Army ended its war against British rule in the province, and is one of the last big milestones in a peace process whose success has been studied around the world.
The queen met McGuinness, Northern Ireland's Unionist first minister Peter Robinson and Irish President Michael D.Higgins for just under 10 minutes behind closed doors in a theatre in a leafy suburb of Belfast cordoned off by hundreds of police.
McGuinness shook the gloved hand of the queen a second time as she left the theatre, this time in front of television cameras, but unlike other guests chose not to bow his head.

The queen's bright green outfit appeared to have been chosen with Ireland's national color in mind, and McGuinness wished a smiling monarch well in Irish, saying "Slan agus beannacht", which he told her means "Goodbye and God speed".
There has been scattered opposition to the gesture of reconciliation from dissident Irish militants and from some of the IRA's victims. But the vast majority of the province's politicians backed the meeting, the first between the queen and a top member of the IRA or its former political wing, Sinn Fein.
"Today is a huge event and it is, in a sense, the ultimate handshake," John Reid, British Secretary of State for Northern Ireland from 2001 to 2002, told the BBC.
"On all sorts of levels this is a hugely significant step but it is only one more step in a long process. This may take generations - to get back to absolute reconciliation in Northern Ireland and the island of Ireland."
OBSTACLE REMOVED
Ireland's president said the handshake was "something that had to be done" to remove an obstacle to reconciliation. Sinn Fein president Gerry Adams said the gesture was symbolic but added that "the journey isn't near completion".
A few hours later, the queen waved to crowds from an open-topped car at a celebration of her Diamond Jubilee attended by over 20,000 people - a stark contrast to the armored limousines that have been a mandatory precaution on previous visits.
The queen regularly meets senior Unionist politicians, Protestants who want Northern Ireland to stay inside the United Kingdom, but not Sinn Fein - the largest party representing Catholic nationalists who want a united Ireland.
McGuinness is a hero to Republican hardliners, but has long been a hate figure to Unionists, many of whom harbor deep suspicions about his past.
He admits he was on the front line in the war with British forces, including on Bloody Sunday in 1972, when troops shot dead 13 unarmed protesters, but says he never killed anyone.
A British report said that McGuinness probably was armed with a submachinegun on Bloody Sunday, but did nothing to provoke the massacre. He has said he left the IRA in 1974, but most historians believe he was active for most of its campaign.
For the queen and her consort Prince Philip, who shook McGuinness's hand more cursorily, the conflict had a personal edge.
The queen's cousin Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was also Philip's uncle, was killed by the IRA in 1979 with three others, including his 14-year-old grandson, when his boat was blown up while he was on holiday in Ireland.
More than 1,000 members of the British security forces were among 3,600 people killed during the 30 years of the "Troubles".
McGuinness told the queen that he agreed with comments she made last year that all victims of the conflict should be remembered, according to a source who was at the meeting.
"STILL A REPUBLICAN"
McGuinness said on Tuesday that, while he represented people who had been badly hurt by British state violence, he was also big enough to understand that the queen and other families in Britain had also lost loved ones.
Asked by reporters after the meeting if his convictions had changed, he said he was "still a Republican".
Sinn Fein, which has become increasingly popular south of the Irish border as the main party opposing an EU/IMF bailout, is keen to bolster its image as a mainstream party and distance itself from a violent past that alienates many southern voters.
It still wants a referendum on whether Northern Ireland should remain part of Britain, but in the short term its aim is to be in government in the north and south simultaneously.
Only last year, Sinn Fein rejected invitations to attend events during the queen's landmark visit to the Irish capital Dublin, the first by a British monarch since the republic won independence from Britain in 1921.
Some Republicans branded McGuinness a traitor for meeting a queen who is also commander-in-chief of Britain's armed forces.
"People are not unhappy that someone is shaking her hand, just not him. He's a hypocrite," said Martin, a 42-year-old unemployed man who said he and his friends had got criminal records defending their neighborhood in working-class Belfast.
"He sent people out to fight. To die. And now he's putting on a suit and shaking her hand? I don't want war (but) this shouldn't have happened till the next generation."
With splinter groups continuing to attack British targets, security forces say the risk of an attack is at its highest level since the Good Friday peace agreement was signed in 1998.
Nine police suffered minor injuries on Tuesday night when they were pelted with petrol bombs and other missiles.
