Duke of Edinburgh back in hospital

I don't think he's looked particularly well for a while now. His eyes are sunken with very dark rings.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's had prostate cancer for a few years and it's beginning to take it's toll on him.

I like him though, he's a game old stick!

I think its a polite way of saying he has gone into retention again - very uncomfortable.

Oh dear merlot

Then again, the Duke comes out with such outrageous things I'm not sure how they would ever tell the difference!

Well if he does, nightowl it would be something along the lines of, 'Put that there. No not there. Who are you? Where are my tweezers? I was born in Zimbabwe' (No, mother, it was Southampton.) Yes. I would also like to be a fly on the wall

Get well soon, D of E

He is such a character, though, isn't he? Hard not to like him....even if you're a republican!

I wonder whether the DofE goes doo-lally when he gets his UTIs, like merlot's mother? I would love to be a fly on the wall and hear the Queen trying to sort him out.

In all seriousness, I do hope he recovers soon; I can't believe how fond I have become of the pair of them. I seem to be going around in a post jubilee haze. This is to the great amusement of my republican family.

Thanks merlot she seems to be making a swift recovery and should be at a family party on Saturday!

They're very unpleasant. My mother gets UTI from time to time and goes completely doo-lally. The first time it happened I thought is was dementia but thankfully, after a few days on antibiotics, she was back to normal. Hope your aunt soon recovers nanaej

He is just copying my aunt..she is in hospital with a UTI too!

Fingers crossed for him, they seem to be such a devoted couple in their own way.

I've just seen it on the news. Hope it's not serious.
