Duke of Edinburgh admitted to hospital.

He's an old man. His family must be worried irrespective of who they are. Families care.

MM hardly raises a mention. She's not particularly relevant. May her life in the land of the mega celebs be just as she hopes. As for Philip he is a great age. But I do hope that he manages to leave hospital with a wave and a smile. I rather like the old fellow.

Paddyanne. you hold so much hatred and I find your post racist

Whereas so many posts re MM ......

Yes Aveline his family must be concerned .

RulaNula I hope he recovers from this health problem too.

I hope he's ok too. How could you wish otherwise?

paddyanne the last line of your post is racist.

I just don’t care- he’s nothing to me. He’s 99 and receiving care that we could only dream of especially at the current time.

Nice

Aveline

Nice

But true - I’m not a hypocrite. He’s nothing to me. Nothing at all. He’s old, he’s had health problems for years, he’s not immortal, he will die sooner or later.

Are these 'royal' threads secretly sponsored by Gaviscon?

Okay, so now that the transition for H&M is over I think it's time to stop the publicity for Mr and Mrs Windsor-Mountbatten. They left to become private citizens and the last time I checked, private citizens generally don't get media coverage.

I wish them the very best for their new lives and I hope it all turns out as they hoped. But please, no more media stories about these officially private citizens. But enough now.

Oh wait, there’s Oprah. ... darn it.

There will be more after Oprah and more ‘we are so in love photographs’ , it’s what some celebrities do , the reality tv type

Private citizens don’t get media coverage - what are you talking about. And anyway, in your dreams.?

I thought this was about Dukie why does someone always have to spike it with poor old Meghan and Harry ITS NOT ABOUT THEM

I like your comment NellG, just about sums up this thread.

Oh you know what I meant sw. Mr & Mrs instead of Duke & Duchess. Celebs status would be a flash in the pan then!

Remove their titles, see how quickly their new friends and business deals vanish.

Surely the thought of a connection between the Duke being admitted to hospital at the same time as his grandson makes his announcement can be expected?

I don’t see why we are talking about M and H. Totally irrelevant.
I hope the Duke gets to go home. The Queen must miss him.

I think we are talking about it here because the OP actually asked a question on page 2 to widen her comments posted 2 days ago. Isn't that how discussions evolve? A new dimension just happened to pop up.

I’m disappointed to see how dismissive you are of the Duke soozie when you started a thread today to say how lovely is it that some of your neighbours were taking an elderly resident for a walk, who is in his 90’s.
Could you not be more hospitable towards all nonogenarians?

I care about my neighbour . I know him. The Duke is being extremely well looked after that’s all that matters - how much longer he lives is a matter of complete indifference to me. I do care about all our older people who are not being looked after properly and all those in care homes who have spent the last year with very limited contact with family. He’s had the queen all this time and hadn’t had to worry about getting a priority slot with WR or who can pick up his prescriptions.

and hadn’t had to worry about getting a priority slot with WR
Do you mean Waitrose? Fortnums or Harrods surely!

Does wealth take away compassion,

Suziewoozie he's nothing to me. I'm not speaking about him as a member of the RF. I just wish any person who is ill a good recovery. That's all I meant. I don't think it would say much about me if I wished anyone ill.

None of us have a choice as to the family we are born into.

No doubt if those who are anti royal had been born into the royal family they would have a totally different point of view?

Are the posters with republican leanings against anyone born into a moneyed family or those who inherit from relatives?
