Duke of Edinburgh admitted to hospital.

I fear the Oprah interview is now a runaway train.

So who legally has the power to stop it in its tracks?

The poor Queen, at a time she needs Phillip so very much.

Hope and pray he does get well

I fear the Oprah interview is now a runaway train.

Given that PP is presumably extremely ill, and has clearly been quite unwell for a long time. I doubt he is that stressed about Harry and Meghan. Serious illness tends to put things in perspective anniebach.

Do you mean that the airing of the Oprah programme should possibly be postponed Merlot? I'm assuming it has already been produced and sold on.

I hope Prince Philip recovers and returns to Windsor but if he doesn't the Queen deserves the respectful passage of national mourning and reverence that accompanies the death of a major royal in this country.

The shenanigans across the pond this time are far worse than Meghan doing her usual 'upstaging.' It's beyond the pale.

Did you not read the last line of their announcement?

No one expected H and M to resume royal duties so that “announcement” unlikely to cause PP so much stress he ended up in hospital, it was indirect blame to suggest it. He’s 99 and not immortal, let’s hope he’s as comfortable as possible.

Yes it could be any cause, the body wears down

The Duke of Edinburgh is an old man who is moving towards the end of his life. It is likely, although, not certain, that he has had prostate problems for some time. Of course, the Queen will be devastated when he dies – sooner or later – just as you or I, your Mum or my Mum,

I too was talking about his health, I said I thought it possible there had too much stress for someone his age, I was accused
of blaming Harry and Megan , no not blaming, just saying it
must be causing stress.

Oh anniebach give it a break, do ....we re talking about the Duke and his health, you re like a dog with a bone

Charles looked very sad when he left the hospital I hope the Queen can see him if he IS at his end of life

I agree with Alegrias. Its disrespectful to do anything other than wish him well.

It is,

I thought this thread was about the Duke of Edinburgh.

Has no one read the statement released by them after the statement was released by the palace ?

coincidence that he was taken ill when talks were going on re
Harry ? . Phillip loves his grandchildren and thinking of his life of duty he must be hurt / angry that Harry has no problem in betraying the Queen. I don’t think it is a coincidence.

What a nasty bit of speculation.

I disagree, the second statement was a slap down, no need to know them personally, they issued their statement and it was
a slap down.

Both statements referred only to the status of the couple and what work they would or wouldn't do, and the palace's one said they would remain loved members of the family. The press, and people who think they know all about the RF's private business, make up the rest. It's disrespectful. None of us know these people personally (probably!)

Prince Charles looked very sad being driven away. I doubt that was anything to do with Harry or Meghan. Whatever one’s views on the RF I’m sure we can all empathise with a son visiting a very sick father.

An official statement was made by the palace, an official statement followed from Harry and Megan.

No the world doesn't know Annie they only know what the tabloids speculate about his family life. We only really know about the business of the monarchy.

Yes, hard decisions had to be made

I agree the signs aren't good in view of Prince Charles' visit to the DofE.
I cannot help thinking, however, that the Queen and Prince Philip must have discussed things quite deeply over the past few weeks and made joint decisions on several issues.

I have not the foggiest what is going in in his private life, the world knows what is going on in his family life.
