ECG 32 Posted February 21, 2021 12 minutes ago, Toast said: Of course Charles looking tearful could be down to a combination of things. He's bound to be affected by Harry's behaviour, Harry's his son after all and Chas will also be upset that his sons have fallen out. Then Philip might have had a few choice words to say about it all which could have been hurtful. I'm not disagreeing with you here, but given how long Charles has been in the public eye for, I'd have thought he'd try to put on a brave face unless he really wasn't able to. If it was due to family arguing, I would have expected him to try and put a brave face on. But in the photo that has been shared around, he looked somewhat defeated. I'm not wanting to be critical of Charles, because he'll know a lot more than we do, but I'd have thought that he wouldn't allow himself to be seen looking that upset for something like a family dispute.

Not saying it was due to family arguing, I'm just pointing out that there are other troubles besides the state of his Dad. When you've got a parent as close to death as Philip is (and I mean due to his age and general decline, not that death is necessarily imminent) it can take very little to push you over the edge. When my mother was terminally ill in hospital I left the ward in tears more than once because she'd been so nasty to me. People do take their frustration and anger out on those close to them. The mask hides a lot, but at the same time focuses attention on the eyes, so he may have mistakenly thought his emotions were hidden. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InquilineKea 75 Posted February 21, 2021 Man, Phillip walked in unaided. Tbf, despite all his cardiovascular issues, he has been more robust than you'd expect - most people can't walk at 99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, are we describing walking in the sense of a young man walking sprightly, or somebody who is essentially hobbling (in the same way my grandfather was)?

LovelyVincent 25 Posted February 21, 2021 Sounds like they didnt like the internet uproar last night over the "sad" charles picture. I doubt they'd park secretively just for handing over luggage...they could just get a random person to walk through the front door with it without much attention being brought to it (unless it had flashing neon lights on the bag with the words "phillips things"). My guess is Andrew visited. Hiding at another entrance due to 1) Not wanting to have the charles attention 2) Its Prince Andrew and he definitely wants to remain hidden.... If Anne turns up tomorrow it could really be the immediate kids coming to say goodbye... Or Phillip kicks out at 2 and is seen smiling and waving monday evening on his way home...

machotrouts 828 Posted February 21, 2021 We don't even know that Charles was sad. He might have just been laughing very hard. He might have been tear-gassed. He might have been plucking his nasal hairs 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted February 21, 2021 Sigh...seriously? A shot was obtained of the car but somebody super important who was in said car, like Her Maj, Andrew or Anne, managed to sneak out of and back into the car without anybody at all getting a whiff? If he's on his deathbed, how come he's turning it into a residency? Chuck yesterday, Andy today, Anne tomorrow, Queenie on Tuesday? Can't be in too bad shape to be confident he's going to last. Honestly, we're heading into tin foil territory with the hypothesising... 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ECG 32 Posted February 21, 2021 Australian media reporting that he is in for more than just observation and rest.

DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted February 21, 2021 Not too surprising that the British Media might be more restrained in reporting things like this. The fact that it seems to be Tues at the earliest before he's out will make it a week since he was admitted. That's a long time merely for observation. May not be quite at the end but wouldn't be surprising if he's gone this year Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If old Phil was not very very unwell, he wouldn't still be in hospital. He and Brenda haven't lived together for a long time. If wants to return to anyone it'll be to one of his Pennys, Romsey or Knatchbull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathisallaround 21 Posted February 21, 2021 Either that guy is a Billy Bullshitter or he made a few interesting points. Philip requested to speak to Charles. Even though Charles was/is due back in London on Monday. Philip is very ill. Is this bloke allowed to be less reserved than the UK press? And does he have genuine sources? If Charles is due back in London tomorrow, will he visit again? Also, I feel bad that the news keeps reminding people that he will be 100 in June. At this rate he won't make it til June and mentioning it seems harsh. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
