How ill is Prince Philip?
When news broke on Monday that Prince Philip was in hospital with a bladder infection, everyone’s thoughts turned to his wife of the last 64-plus years, Queen Elizabeth II, who was nearing the end of a four-day celebration for her Diamond Jubilee, and Philip had been at her side for every event.
Now, the Press Association reports, “Buckingham Palace said he might not be discharged by Sunday,” when the prince will turn 91. This has sparked renewed concern as to exactly how ill the Queen’s consort really is. And the palace shows no sign of reassuring the public, having only provided two spartan press releases–similar to those from last December when Philip underwent a successful procedure to clear a blocked coronary artery–since Monday.
Monday, June 4: HRH the duke of Edinburgh was taken to King Edward VII Hospital in London this afternoon, from Windsor Castle, as a precautionary measure after developing a bladder infection, which is being assessed and treated. Prince Philip will remain in hospital under observation for a few days. He is, understandably, disappointed about missing this evening’s Diamond Jubilee Concert and tomorrow’s engagements.
