YouOnlyDieOnce 89 Posted February 18, 2021 It looks like he's facing a 3rd night in hospital, perhaps they're waiting for the undertakers to come and take measurements? I think The Palace will be making an announcement by the weekend, here's hoping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Harry is a much, much closer likeness to Philip than James Hewitt. And he has the colouring of his mother's side of the family. I have more belief in the claims Andrew is the result of an affair between the Queen and Lord Porchester, in all honesty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is his best way out. And he can touch up a few nurses at the same time. He might drag it out for weeks or until the sexual/racial harassment claims start piling in.

DCI Frank Burnside 3,887 Posted February 18, 2021 Hmmmm. Perhaps he is a bit more unwell than is being let on. If I'm not mistaken Margaret died in Hospital so their's relatively recent precedent for a Royal passing in a hospital rather than a residence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still not reading too much into this in all honesty, I still expect him to be discharged sometime next week. Think they're just being careful - no significant signs of concern from the family just yet. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulitzer95 12,589 Posted February 19, 2021 I asked a friend about this today. He wasn't sure but thinks the Prince is in hospital with renal issues. Pretty common in older people. How serious it is I'm not sure. My own gran was in and out of hospital like a yo-yo with it for years in her 80s and 90s. Heart failure got her in the end though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
