It sounds like she's really unwell with her family gathering at Balmoral, she's been really frail since her husband died.

It's either about viking attacks during the construction of the bridge or human/child sacrifices.

"The most commonly accepted origin story for the rhyme is that of the London Bridge actually falling down in 1014 — because Viking leader Olaf Haraldsson allegedly pulled it down during an invasion of the British Isles."

"The author of the book “The Traditional Games of England, Scotland and Ireland” Alice Bertha Gomme suggests that the “London Bridge Is Falling Down” rhyme refers to the use of a medieval punishment known as immurement. Immurement is when a person is encased into a room with no openings or exits and left there to die.  Immurement was a form of punishment as well as a form of sacrifice. Gomme points to the lyric “take the key and lock her up” as a nod to this inhumane practice and the belief that the sacrifices may have been children.  According to her, people during those times believed that the bridge would collapse if there wasn’t a body buried inside. Thankfully, this disturbing suggestion has never been proven and there is no archaeological evidence that suggests it’s true."

My London London Bridge wanna go down
Like London London London wanna go down
Like London London London be going down like" 

 

I'm so tired of living in such historic times. Even though we knew it was coming eventually, I feel bad for the people of the UK and commonwealth.

Because if it were something unimportant they would not say it on the news, but since the diva is delicate and her family has gone to see her, it is a high probability

It's very likely that she already died and this is a way of easing the pain instead of a huge shockwave through the world.
