Get well I really like the Duke of Edinburgh. Did anyone see the programme when Alan Titchmarsh interviewed him at the palace? He was so interesting , he gave up everything for the Queen but they seem really happy. What would she do without him?

No one could blame him now if he just sat and put his feet up. He's earned it. Get Well Soon.

I hope he feels better soon. For an old chap he still does so much. The Queen , I am sure would miss him terribly .

I do wish he'd put his health before duty.... Trooping the Colour at the weekend, Ascot yesterday in full morning dress.... and said to be 'disappointed' to be missing the State Opening of Parliament, and Ascot this afternoon. And all in the sort of weather that would have most nonagenarians sitting in a cool room watching afternoon telly. I expect everyone's given up trying to advise him. Did anyone see the photo of him at Ascot yesterday with his GD Zara Tindall putting her arm round him? Maybe she could see he was flagging a bit. She's so lovely and 'normal'.

Hope he gets well and has a chance to enjoy doing a little less work.

Oh dear he is a very old man and a gallant one, but I don't like the sound of this. Like others, I wish him well, but no one is immortal. sad

He is an old man and really looked it on the balcony shots on Saturday.
I wish him well.

Get Well Soon.
