Even through she is vaccinated I doubt she will want 100 or more people at St George's chapel for the funeral. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GEMINEYE 206 Posted February 20, 2021 Photo of Prince Charles after visiting Prince Philip, looking a bit teary. I think we will have hit No.5 soon, if it hasn't happened already... 2 4 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sean 6,310 Posted February 20, 2021 No but I would think they would want about 50 or slightly less people in Westminster Abbey.He has 4 children 8 grandchildren (5 married) several great grandchildren now old enough to attend (Prince George Savannah and Isla Phillips) and quite a few other Royals like Duke and Duchess of Kent Prince and Princess Michael of Kent Princess Alexandra Princess Margarets Children and Grandchildren.That alone is about 30 without the Prime Minister and Carrie and any other close friends.

Windsor 2,233 Posted February 20, 2021 That’s were he is ended up. At St George’s Chapel, Windsor. I think you are all reading too much into the visit. Could've been breaking the news about Mr and Mrs Hewitt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fergie86 374 Posted February 20, 2021 36 minutes ago, ECG said: Just spoken to my mum (care home nurse), and she's reckons they wouldn't be allowing visits unless it's end of life. Probably right for ‘normal’ patients and it is sounding like the end is near but if they make exceptions for anyone it will be for the Royals so it is possible we are all reading too much into it. I think if he isn’t discharged from Hospital by Monday or Tuesday he is certainly a lot iller than they are letting on even if he lasts that long the next 48 to 72 hours could be crucial. As for Charles visit been short if Phillip is close to the end is possible he is sleeping a lot or dosing in and out of consciousness could be quite distressing and upsetting and there isn’t really a lot you can do understandable if Charles doesn’t stay long . Knowing Phillip he will be out of Hospital soon and celebrating his 100th birthday in 110 days time though he is getting closer to the end, be amazed if he is still here at the beginning of 2022.
