Duke of Edinburgh admitted to hospital.

Suppose it depends if it was a heart problem or similar.

He's in for 'observation and rest'. You'd think he could have that at home with their resources. Oh well.

Yes, and surely they could take more covid precautions at home rather than going into hospital?

I wonder if he is clinging on as he knows that the queen must be feeling pretty awful what with Harry and Andrew’s behaviour. She has said that he has been her rock for most of their lives together and she’ll find life far harder without his support. Shame all this has come at the end stage of her reign.

I haven’t watched The Crown but gather from feedback and reactions that it is a fictionalised version of their lives rather than an open minded version.

He was taken in as precautionary measure and is expected to remain a few days.

I hope this is so.

He strikes me as a fighter. Fingers crossed he can get his card from the Queen on his birthday.

lets hope it's not too serious as article states as follows;

'in good spirits as he 'walks unaided' into hospital ' and not covid related..

You are so right LauraNorder. We’ve not seen him much lately but he has looked frail in the last couple of years.
Ellianne love your black humour and I know you don’t mean any harm ?
I’ve enjoyed getting an idea of the Duke’s life from “The Crown” and I wouldn’t give up on him yet.

Poor queen, they’ve been together ages.
But yes, you’re right, he has reached a great age.

I suppose, like Captain Sir Tom Moore, we wish him well but have to acknowledge his great age.

Oh dear, did he have an apoplectic fit that Harry is going on Oprah?
Sorry.
Fingers crossed.
