Mischief Girl 44 Posted February 20, 2021 If Prince Philip is nearing an imminent death, it isn't a Prince who's dying, it's a husband and father. Where I live in the US, which, granted, is the middle of absolutely nowhere, at end of life family is allowed to come and visit in person. Charles and Philip have never been close. I cannot imagine a scenario where Charles is the one person to say their goodbyes in person. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Her Maj and All four kids would be allowed even if at separate times. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LovelyVincent 25 Posted February 20, 2021 Well i wouldnt imagine all the royal family will descend down to see phillip at once during a pandemic. They wouldnt do it even in a non pandemic scenario. It would be different members of the royal family coming to say goodbye at various different times. Plus the fact that the future king is going to see his father to say goodbye is the sort of script ending they love to write where they can say phillip passed on his "wisdom and gave final advice" I can't imagine elizabeth holding phillips hand during all of this anyway even if the pandemic wasnt on and i dont think he'd appreciate it either. all stiff upper lip and probably a phone call. Can't see Andrew turning up for obvious reasons either... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted February 21, 2021 1 hour ago, Kenny said: I hope that it's neither of the gruesome twosome. Huw Edwards has a massive Welsh inferiority complex. His tailor must have big problems with the massive chip on his shoulder. Fiona Bruce is a vain narcissist who can't get that smug smirk off her face. But she is better than Emily Maitliss who looks and sounds like a a neurotic cokehead. My vote goes to Clive Myrie. There's a clip of Emily Maitlis in which she farts live on air as she introduces a news item. She gets through her script while she's visibly cringing and some people off-screen are laughing. One for devotees of embarrassment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deathisallaround 21 Posted February 21, 2021 Does anyone, who knows that area of London, know if there is a more secluded entrance to the hospital? Charles took the back door (no comment) but there must be a 'staff entrance'? Maybe they learned from Charles' mistake and snuck in to say their goodbyes. For all we know, Queenie could have been there all day by his side. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, you got it in one, Prince Philip ( Mountbatten) of "foot in mouth" fame. Apart from that, what else is he famous for? Marrying the Queen, big deal! The sooner that bugger is relegated to the earth, the happier I'll be. At his age, hopefully I shouldn't have too long to wait! *fingers crossed* And yet here we are 17 years later! Persistent bugger! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
