HRH Prince Philip Taken to Hospital

[kayakamina]

In hospital for observation.

At 91 yesterday could have been so tiring.

[emmie]

a bladder infection so the newsreader said. I hope he is ok.

[ummmm]

It says a water infection. I can't see how having a busy day could cause that.

[emmie]

would think that he and the Queen were tired after yesterday.

[sandyRoe]

A water infection? I've always thought it safer to take it neat.
Seriously, I hope it nothing serious.

[Baldric]

I hope he makes a speedy recovery

[bednobs]

if you dont get time to go to the loo (if for example you are standing on a boat all day)
Still i suppose he could have had a whizz off the side

[ummmm]

He looked fine yesterday so hopefully it's a precautionary measure.

[queencharlotte]

I do wish they had sat down, at least for a while, on those red plush throne like chairs provided. At the least, this will be a further strain on the Queen. Cross fingers, and prayers.

[Ann]

Ah so sad about that, hope nothing happens to him especially this week.

[Sqad]

A bladder infection in a male of 91 years of age.........at a guess........enlarged prostate.

Just a guess.

[Jumbo747]

One way of not having to attend tonight's shindig!
Seriously, could be quite nasty if a UTI in a 90yr old but hopefully will respond promptly to antibiotics.

[jno]

for the Golden Jubilee, he sat through the pop concert with earplugs in. He won't have to this time.

[tonyav]

I like him to, I would like to hear some of the things that is likely to get said to the nurses lol.

[Maydup]

He did pop below deck for a couple of minutes yesterday unlike the Queen who stood for the entire time., and we guessed he'd gone to the loo. But it couldn't have done either of them much good to stand so long and hold it in for all that time!

[cathfromsaron]

standing and cold CAN cause that!

hope he's OK soon!

[jno]

the queen also ducked downstairs to get a shawl, didn't she?

[Maydup]

yes jno - OH spotted her, I must have missed it.

I'd like to have seen them both with a hot drink and follow it with a comfort break though!

[GMH]

I hope he's OK as well. What a time for it to happen.

[chi-chi66]

well at least he's in good hands, having a deserved rest for a few days.
