Toast 16,063 Posted April 13, 2018 True, and I seem to remember something about the senior royals generally avoiding hospital visits because it causes too much disruption. The Queen can't just nip in on her own like you or I would do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah can imagine the security cost would be quite expensive and disruption to other patients too much for a visit in these circumstances. I can imagine we'll know he's at his end if the entire family suddenly turn up to his hospital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can imagine we'll know he's at his end if the entire family suddenly turn up to his hospital. If its the end, he'd go to one of the main palaces and then the entire family would flock in - big tell tale sign. I mean, the end is coming soon-ish, by default (guy is 97 soon after all) but it doesn't feel necessarily imminent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,063 Posted April 30, 2018 A senior royal source has told how Prince Philip has taken to referring to Meghan as "the Dow". It stands for Duchess of Windsor, the former Wallis Simpson, whose affair with Edward VIII nearly destroyed the Royal Family. https://www.express.co.uk/news/royal/952400/lady-Gabriella-ex-boyfriend-kensington-palace-aatish-taseer 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

coffee_and_candles 21 Posted May 7, 2018 Personally the only interesting thing for me about the ongoing 24-hour borefest that is ‘Harrys wedding’ is whether Prince Phillip will be there. He’s supposed to be very close to William and Harry, if it really IS just old age hip trouble then he’ll be there - he’s more or less the frigging king, even if he’s too embarrassed to use sticks/a wheelchair then I’m sure there are 100 ways the Royal family could get him into the church without him being seen (or being seen to struggle at least). If he’s not there then I think he’s on the way out even as we speak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
