ladyfiona 2,585 Posted February 17, 2021 Even if it's a precautionary measure he might catch covid because of it. This is what happened with Tom Moore. How many times has he been in hospital over the last 5 years now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted February 17, 2021 He's 99 and 3 quarters and the Queen's husband. Obviously we'll have to wait and see but the fact they're taking every precaution is hardly surprising and doesn't sound too concerning from the early statement. The royals don't tend to die in hospital, if the end was really near I think he'd be in respite at Windsor - the fact in hospital means they think he'll recover. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could do but very unlikely given that both him and the Queen have had both of their vaccine doses now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they were in any way concerned he might die they wouldn't send him to hospital (as stupid as that sounds ) unless an op was needed. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because Captain Tom would have made a full and complete recovery from *checks notes* double pneumonia at the age of 100 if he hadn't caught Covid... I also imagine infection control is much easier at the sort of hospital senior royals use, too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He has had the vaccine now so that risk is reduced, The Queen mum died at Windsor so if he was close to death he wouldn’t go to hospital in the first place. Press also reporting he walked in which I don’t think they would brief unless it’s true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katyusha 120 Posted February 17, 2021 I have my doubts he's in critical condition, but given his age and frailty we can't rule out him catching even a simple cold or flu in hospital and carking it as a result. If he doesn't die during this particular incidence of "unwellness", it seems very unlikely he'll live to see the end of the year - though if there's one thing we can learn from old Phil's adventures in deathlist, "seeming unlikely to survive" something means very little in his case.

YouOnlyDieOnce 89 Posted February 17, 2021 If this zombie actually croaks, the QE2 could then die of a broken heart soon after. Perhaps Charlie boy could then have his long awaited coronation this year? However, I still think that Charles will die before Philip. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Philip doesn't want a state funeral but they are more then 30 members of the extended royal family so they would be competition. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
