Re: Prince Phillip

I did see in the news that the queen wore a special brooch that Philip gave her on their engagement. That was a lovely gesture, I thought, seeing as she probably can't visit him.

Re: Prince Phillip

I'll tell you what I thought was disgusting on the news tonight - photographers!

While the doctors were trying discreetly to transfer the Duke to an ambulance outside, there were the press, like Piranhas they were.
Even when the ambulance started to pull off, they were shoving their cameras right onto the ambulance windows to get photos of an ill person.

Absolute scum those reporters are.
Can you imagine how you would feel if it were you, or one of your family in that ambulance?

Re: Prince Phillip

I didn't see it, but why were they able to get so close for goodness sake? Where was the security? That's disgusting behaviour.

The young are often criticised for slagging us oldies off and yet here we are, some oldies on here slagging off an almost one-hundred-year-old man. I'd never abuse a person older than me (was taught to respect my elders) no matter what their station in life.

I agree Mups, but those photographers are only interested in what money they can make with that photo

Anyway, I suspect they were not socially distancing...so shouldn't they be fined like many other people have been.

Re: Prince Phillip

As a husband, father and grandfather, it is to be expected that his passing will be felt. However, every other elderly person on the NHS would be put on a death plan. Yet this 99 year old is given 6 weeks of the very best care. This isnt palliative care this is the best care.

St Bartholomew's is an internationally renowned teaching hospital in the City of London. We offer a range of local and specialist services for the treatment of cancer, heart conditions, fertility problems and endocrinology. We have a minor injuries unit, but we do not offer A&E services.

That is why he has been sent there & I don't think they have all that teaching & equipment just in case a royal member needs it.
It is an NHS hospital that cares for anybody with these health problems, no matter how old they are or how wealthy!
People have no need for a "death plan", unless they are terminally ill, and I have not heard any report that says Prince Philip is terrminally ill. I expect he has a private room but he will get the same care as everyone else. That is why our NHS is so admired!
