I've absolutely no clue of the gossip about Philip. So from what I "don't know" whether it's naive or not I'm sure the Queen and family will be very concerned about Philip's health condition simply because they've been together for sooooo long, so I get that!. Can't say from what I've learnt about him over the years has endeared me to him but I get that whether Royal or not we all care about the health and well being of those we have a connection to so in the bigger picture it's no different from them to us.

wishing Phil a speedy recovery 

 

Lizzie looked very emotional last night when Charlie did his speech ...  what ever goes on behind closed doors they have stood united and very supportive of each other publically  through the years 

 

this health issue has struck at the wrong time for her thats for sure 

 

just heard that Philips seat today has been re-organised for Charles and Camilla to sit with the Queen 

 

Camilla ......  that is defo one I could do without ....  really hope when the change comes it misses them and goes to Wills and Kate

I had such a bad feeling last night about Prince Philip, and the Queen looked so upset.  I think it was David Starkey on ITV today who said he had never seen her so close to tears.  I hope he is back by her side soon.  I think with hindsight the arrangement for them on The Spirit of Chartwell was ill thought out, and the BBC's coverage was abysmal, no information about the boats and ships taking part at all, just inane drivel from the likes of Anneka Rice.

Today too, Charles looked worried. I think it was ridiculous that  a couple of their age had to endure hours on that "raft". I dont know if there were heaters or even a loo. Very likely a man of that age would have prostate/kidney problems. I wasnt surprised one of them landed up in hospital.

Sky news, was more informative re the boats etc taking part. IMO x

I wish him a speedy recovery although I'm not keen on Phillip.

 

I still can't stop laughing at his face when he visited Ireland last year and they were presented with a pint of Guiness - Phillip looked long and lovingly at the pint ready to neck it down in one but the Queen had already moved off.  He still kept looking at it while following her

Although, of course, i wish him no harm . . . i do see him as the 'old guard' and a bit of a loose canon/liability.

His constant gaffes revealed a supreme ambivalence towards his advisors and wanton ignorance of the world.

 

To English people living in Japan "If you live hear any longer you'll get slitty eyes."

 

On seeing an exhibition of "primitive" Ethiopian art, he muttered: "It   looks like the kind of thing my daughter would bring back from her school art lessons."

 

The Duke famously proclaimed: "British women can't cook".

 

When asked if he would like to visit the Soviet Union: "I would like to go to Russia very much, although the bastards murdered half my family."

 

He asked a Scottish driving instructor in Oban: "How do you keep the natives off the booze long enough to pass the test?"

 

To Australian Aborigines during a visit to Australia with the Queen he asked: "Do you still throw spears at each other?"

 

"Well, you'll never fly in it, you're too fat to be an astronaut." - to a 13-year-old whilst visiting a space shuttle.

 

 . . . and they go on and on. Silly old trout
