Duke Of Edinburgh Admitted To Hospital

[Barsel]

as "precautionary measure", says Buckingham Palace. More follows...
Hope he's ok.

[murraymints]

heard that a few mins ago..anything is a worry at that age !!

[Barsel]

He was at Ascot yesterday, perhaps the heat and that was too much for him.

[murraymints]

or too much bolly !

doesn't sound too serious but i wish him well

[murraymints]

maybe he jist kidnae be a@@sed and is skiving !!

Who accompanied the Queen to parliament or did she just go on her own?

[murraymints]

why anyone would expect a man of such advanced years to go to many of these things is beyond me...he deserves a bit of leisure now..a good stick.. I like him

[murraymints]

she is arriving now... with Charles I think

[murraymints]

yup Charles is with mamma !

[emmie]

i hope he is ok as well, i think he has done a sterling job as consort to the Queen

[Barmaid]

I really like him. I know many will say he has lived a life of comfort, but even so at that age having to attend events must take it out of him. I know my grandparents (in their 90s) who have had a fairly easy life since they retired 30 odd years ago get really tired just attending a family lunch or church.

I wish him a speedy recovery.

[murraymints]

ditto BM..let the man stay in his armchair wi' his pipe and slippers now, he has earned it

[albaqwerty]

Hope he'll be out soon.
Whatever the reason, hope it's not serious.
Wishing him well, I like him.

[aelmpvw]

i can imagine that he was advised not to go to ascot due to the heat and he told them where to put their advice

[woofgang]

guessing its prostate.

[Lie-in King]

I also like him & wish him a speedy & comfortable recovery.

Did you not getting the feeling the queen had her mind more on Royal Ascot than parley .Dont blame her ,me id rather be at the races too .Phillip might get there too with a bit luck .

[jourdain2]

I hope he'll be out soon, like Mr. J2

I saw a pic of Charlie sitting with his mum in the state whatsit. They both looked bored stupid but he looked about a decade older than his dad. Could they have not done it with a video link from the horse racing?

I like Philip - Zorba the Greek ☺♥

[agchristie]

He's made of strong stuff. I wonder if on his 100th he will get a card from the Queen?!
