Seppuku

Better quality picture from the Guardian. Doesn't look so bad to be honest.

The pope did not look particularly well at this evening's Urbi et Orbi.

It's going to be an exciting campaign this year, with two septuagenarians battling each other for who meets the most people

Thank you for your service

I agree. The BBC has posted a video of him getting into the car. He walks as well as can be expected of a 98-year old. He does look a lot worse than last year though.

It has been really quiet around the Duke in the last 6 months. He was seen carriage driving once in July, other than that I can't find anything. It could be that the media finally have grown tired of publishing the same boring stories over and over again. Or.. He could be on his way out?

Tough luck.

I just stumbled upon a message she recorded for the 75th anniversary of D-day. She doesn't sound so well unfortunately. Especially compared to a few years ago.

88 year old former Dutch Prime Minister Dries van Agt suffered a serious stroke. He was a Christian conservative, but over time shifted to the left. In recent years he has been most well known for his support of the Palestinian people.

Gout dancing does sound rather painful.

When facing the choice to visiti Meghan and seeing exactly what color his great grandson is, Phil opts to come out of retirement instead.

I've seen Bill in a few recent interviews and he does not look, move or talk like an 88 year old. Appears to be in great shape both physically and mentally.

Not dead. Those carriage driving pics are not much use as a form check, but he is 'out and about' as they like to call it.

Looks like shit, sounds worse.

Still (somewhat) vertical.

Bookmarked for future reference! To make 2020 she only has to stay alive for 15 more months.. Statistically those odds are about 50/50. Sashimi or nigiri?

Phil has attended several events recently, including some polo thing today. He actually looks better than he did a year ago, I would be surprised if he didn't make 2019.

Apparently also re-admitted to hospital. Plus, apart from a statement on the passing of Babs, his Twitter account has been silent since April 16, whereas before he posted something pretty much daily. Appears to be enjoying the sunset alright.

Looking grim for Phil: https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/life/941267/prince-philip-palm-reading-expert Palm reading specialist thinks his condition may dramatically decline in the future. Quite a scoop for the Express!

http://www.nme.com/news/film/marvel-creator-stan-lee-reveals-battle-with-pneumonia-2250148 Posted a video saying that he has been having a bout of pneumonia. Quite dangerous for a man his age, but still doesn't look as somebody at death's door. Could be soon to be DC-sed. Or maybe we'll marvel at his resilience some more. Sorry about that one.
