Well the RF belongs to us not the other way around really

Umm- people can’t own people. Nobody belongs to anyone.

He probably wants to avoid Andrew!

Looks like (from walking into hospital) he's not desperately ill. I hope he's ok, I rather like him.

There ARE some horrible comments here and some silly ones too.

The hospital is one used by the Royals as the Queen is its patron for a start - his consultant will be there, the staff know him, it's small (58 beds)so security is easier than at a huge NHS hospital where other patients and visitors might be impacted on if there were armed police all over the entrances, any tests and results can be turned round far quicker than in the NHS without inconveniencing NHS patients etc etc etc.

He had major abdo surgery 2 years ago which we don't know what for so it could be connected with that - bowel, prostate, kidney- who knows- and if he is having some symptoms they want to keep an eye on him.

Have some understanding.

The RF is an anachronism in this day and age, but hey, it sells papers I suppose just like Brexit.

Anyway they can basically do what they like really. Can't they? Within the bounds of legality of course. And we pay for it all, that is what I meant. Bet none of them are frantically checking their online banking or anything today. LOL.

Nope, you can be sure of that.

Bet none of them are frantically checking their online banking or anything today. LOL.

Well, no. But nor are a lot of other people. I'm not sure why someone's wealth (or lack of it) would have an impact on your feelings about their health?

Do you seriously think the Duke of Edinburgh would go into hospital unless he had to or feel he had to to avoid something he didn't want to do. Don't be silly. He's retired. He can do what he wants.

Some quite cringeworthy comments on this thread, attempts at manufacturing conspiracy

Extremely elderly man becomes unwell during winter.

That is all.

At some point this man will pass away, I doubt anyone, including him, is capable of timing it for convenience.

I do have a good bullshit radar.

So Queenie goes North, and at the same time DofE heads South on the same day.

Hmmm. And it was a planned admission.

OK. Hope he is ok though, it is nothing personal it is really about the Firm.

I'm surprised Gibbo and Barnesy or whatever the fuck they were called haven't appeared in their Whats App group on this thread to announce

THERE'S A DRILL AT 8AM LADS

at this rate

RF is a total waste of our money, whilst many of them are benefitting ad infinitum.

The castles and so on will always attract visitors if you are wondering about tourism in the event the RF is closed off. They are never in view anyway when the tourists arrive are they?

But onwards and upwards.

Hope he’s ok.

I bet he didn’t wait in an ambulance for hours.

Make of that what you will

Bullshit?

It was "planned" Bananas. Queenie was waving from her train carriage, and DofE was saying Bye now, see you when it's all over. Whew!

Do most people ignore their father/husband/grandad whatever, at any time, but especially at this time of year? Planned escape I hope. And I suppose his family is by his side as most of us would be with our Dad/Grandad.

But the RF come across as cold hearted Hannah's.

The Queen may not have been able to alter the timing of her journey without inconveniencing rail staff etc so she probably wouldn’t change it."
She'd be OK as long as she didn't have an advance ticket or a super off peak. The platform staff are always very helpful I find :o

I'm seriously more interested in the queen getting the train from King's Cross. Was she waiting under the boards for her platform to be announced? Did she get her photo taken with Harry Potter or whatever the hell all those people are doing when I'm trying to go to the loo?

He is 98 no one lives forever

Jesus, I was simply saying the only bit of info I had, in no way implying I had some sort of 'scoop', calm the feck down y'all! Just seemed rather strange. For what it's worth, she doesn't work in the news department, so it would have been bugger all to do with brexit.

He will be fine, and will escape Sandringham too. Good on him!

I like escaping the Christmas madness too so I largely do these days anyway.

No one really cares do they. Oh dear "kinsss" is not here, ok where is my glass of wine kind of thing.

Suits me, suits everyone! Gotta be true to yourself. And then we pick it up again after Christmas. Perfect. It calls for respect from every side and no controlling influences!

I was simply saying the only bit of info I had

Oh. Well my friend has been busy all day too. She works in Asda.

@Jumpi

@jumpi All those people doing shopping to deliver to Sandringham. It's a well known fact that the RF employ people all over the country to do their xmas shopping so the great unwashed don't know what products they buy. The Queen is, I'm informed, rather partial to Findus crispy pancakes but wants it kept quiet.

If he is still with us within a few days, it is an escape plan from a boring Christmas.

If he needs thorough medical intervention, it is true that he is not well.

Bet he will be out in a few days post Christmas, and we will see posts of him trotting around on a carriage horse or something. He is dead right.

At 98 YOU can decide. Even earlier if you are not RF. lol.

It's prostate not prostrate. There's only one r. Repeat after me:

prostate

prostate

prostate

"I bet he didn’t wait in an ambulance for hours."

Precautionary (not emergency) admission for someone with with means to travel to hospital. Deffo shouldn't be calling an ambulance in these circumstances (see many threads passim about misuse of the ambulance service)
