coffee_and_candles 21 Posted April 3, 2018 As a total anti-royalist I’ve got to say PLEASE Racist-Phil do NOT die tomorrow (it’s the anniversary my dad died and I would hate him to share it with this chinless parasite...). Or, on a lighter note, the things people do to get out of a wedding! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chiesa52 132 Posted April 3, 2018 My Dad had bladder surgery at 91 and came through all right- they said it took a bit longer than normal for him to wake up though- this article says it's a good idea to have it now, so he can deal with that wedding in May: https://news.sky.com/story/prince-philip-surgery-sensible-ahead-of-royal-wedding-11315952 He's a tough old bird- Still, bears watching- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SandyBeaches 13 Posted April 4, 2018 Doubt he'll be walking by May? Surely if it was a planned operation, it would have been organized better? Needs a few months physio? Ah well, might be funny seeing the old codger stumble, and watching the look on the guests faces? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't watch the ceremony so can't comment on today but Prince Charles looks awful for a man of 69 considering the lifestyle he has had and all the medical benefits he has obviously had. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted April 5, 2018 To be fair you'd be depressed if you were Charles as well. Well past retirement age and your main career is still a pipe dream. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He won't be king anytime soon either, if the Queen lives as long as the Queen Mother, Charles will be in his early 80's, he will probably be dead before the Queen dies. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,144 Posted April 12, 2018 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-43744614 "Princess Anne has visited her father, the Duke of Edinburgh, at a London hospital as he recovers from his hip replacement operation. The Princess Royal spent about 50 minutes in the hospital and afterwards said her father was "on good form". She is the first family member to visit Prince Philip since he had the planned procedure at the private King Edward VII's Hospital on 4 April." None of the family visited for over a week! Don't know what to make of that. Maybe he told them not to come. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Up North 3,726 Posted April 12, 2018 I wouldn't be surprised if he had prostate cancer that has spread to his bones. He kept getting bladder infections and now needs an operation on his hip. Anyhow still think he'll see 2019. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
