Are you sure the NE has ever given Liz their “Sad Last Days” treatment? Those are usually the key words. I first realized how prescient they were when they gave The Duke the “Sad Last Days” treatment about 30 years ago. Now, whenever I see those words on the cover of NE, smell the embalming fluid.
I’m pretty sure it’s been done a couple of times. I’m 47, and I can’t remember one time in the past 35 years that I heard about Liz’s health in anything other than negative terms.
She has broken her back five times, had both her hips replaced, has survived a benign brain tumor operation, has survived skin cancer, and has faced life-threatening bouts with pneumonia twice. She is reclusive and sometimes fails to make scheduled appearances due to illness or other personal reasons. She now uses a wheelchair and when asked about it she said that she has osteoporosis and was born with scoliosis.
