Why are you scoffing? She’s said numerous times how important he’s been in helping her manage over the years.
Now been transferred to Barts for treatment and possible heart trouble

Fingers crossed for the Duke. The shabbyness being shown by his grandson/daughter is really getting on my t * t s.
Me too. Making me sick seeing their pity us mugs splashed all over the telly and press

They really are a pair of squints.

Apologies mods, my comment probably came across as trollish, it wasn't meant to.
Sadly I think Freakbro's assumption is likely to be the case in the near future. If he makes it to receive his telegram I would be very surprised. I hope he does, I think he's comedy gold, but I think it's unlikely.

Well wishes from me too, and I agree with the above.
Yup, for people at that age it's just a lottery - if people manage to make it that far without cancer or heart issues then the risk of dying in any given year starts to tend to some constant risk - I mean at the extremes a "healthy" 102 year old probably doesn't have any difference in the chance of dying in the next month than a 105 year old, they're just frail and ticking on and will go based on some random event, whether that is a physical accident, contracting a cold/flu or perhaps some sudden change in mental state caused by grief... in theory, there isn't necessarily a known hard limit to life expectancy (AFAIK) but in reality their frailty and chance of accidents/other events mean that practically surviving much longer at that age is highly unlikely.
Seems to have been revealed that Charle's visit was so they could discuss the future of the monarchy, so that indicates perhaps Philip himself doesn't think he has much longer left - that and the transfer to another hospital aren't good signs - I wonder if they'd have even done such a transfer for someone that old rather than just palliative care if not because of who he is.
Sadly it doesn't look good and I don't like being pessimistic but it would be a huge blow to the Queen, she's already had to step back from work because of the pandemic (which is another general thing that tends to affect people - though hopefully, she is getting plenty of human contact and exercise) but this could be a downward spiral for her too.

I mean his mum was pretty much killed by the same people making his life hell, but hey **** em. Ungrateful ***** they are!
No, his mum was killed by a drunk driver

OK dear.
oh lol.
Even at this age she isn't as fragile as that IMO.
I could see her stepping down however afterwards - though it might not be her thoughts and intentions now.
