Duke of Edinburgh admitted to hospital.

I thinks it's very disrespectful to be talking about anybody's state of health and speculating about what might be influencing it while they are lying in a hospital bed, especially if it is someone we don't personally know.
Wish him well, hope for a good outcome but don't pretend to know what's going on in his private life.

I agree with others who have wondered if it’s rather more serious than we are being led to believe, because during previous hospital stays Prince Philip has not had visitors, and also the Covid situation suggests only the most ill patients are allowed a visitor. In addition Prince Charles drove about 100 miles for a half hour visit, and that seems a lot of effort for a casual visit.

I did not say they were to blame, what did I say which lay any blame ?

* Veganrock* you are so right if the weather changed it would be that young couples fault
For heavens sake give it a break, we get the picture anniebach they are to blame for Covid and Brexit as well

At 99 he can’t go on for ever he’s had a brilliant innings as they say I don’t think Charles would have travelled all that way unless he was more seriously ill than we have been led to believe

I wonder if it’s his heart. I wish him well, as I would anyone who is ill and suffering.
My MIL to hospital for a routine heart check up. She walked in on her own, expecting to be home in the afternoon. The medics immediately put her in a bed, linked up to heart monitors. She was there for 2 weeks waiting to stabilise. Eventually she had a quadruple bypass, from which she didn’t regain consciousness.

Age must have something to do with his illness but also his age
quite probably makes stress harder to cope with.

I was about to post the same vegansrock He’s 99 - I suspect his age has more to do with his illness than Harry & Meghan

Let’s blame Harry and Megan for PPs illness. Can’t have any thing to do with his age can it?

Urmstongran

I wonder if he’s more poorly than is being said now that PC has visited.

I thought that as well Urmstongran especially as he is staying in hospital until next week at least.

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.

The weather hasn’t been good today. Maybe Prince Charles would have been helicoptered to the hospital to cover that distance if the visibility had been clear?

Will Anne visit

I guess so, GG13, short of going in disguise!

Ellianne

I've just seen Charles went in through the back door by the bins. Clearly they were trying to do it without being seen.

There are photographers and cameramen at all doors, no way was he going to get away with not being seen.

Prince Charles has driven 100 miles to visit his father in hospital today, the hospital has a strict lock down procedure I don’t think that sounds very hopeful it would be nice if he could get to his 100 birthday do you think he’d get a letter from the Queen !
However he’s a very good age and been very energetic into old age he can’t go on for ever Good luck to him although I have no feelings for the royals as royals just human beings

Prince Charles has visited his father at the hospital this afternoon.

You what? 200 mile round trip. Is that allowed?

Me too Grandma70s,for him and the family,especially our Queen.
They will belost without eachother.

True Ellianne explains her support from republicans

Annie you're right.
Ironically being "brave" enough for someone to do it is probably exactly what Meghan would approve of!

I agree Ellianne but it would take a brave person to do it,

The John Humphrys article is in the Mail, worth reading , first
question was - their need for privacy yet appearing on Oprah
which will be watched by millions.

He also asked about the many photographs they release

Anniebach my question to H & M would be "Did you really give it long enough to see what the job was all about? Marry into the family in 2018 and a year later decide to leave?"
I think the H & M discussion warrants its own thread now.

Thank you nadateturbe for acknowledging my general point. I had decided after my post last night this was the wrong thread to have such a discussion.
