I was shocked to see photos of Prince Edward in Edinburgh. He has lost a lot of weight. Hope he is okay. Or maybe he had covid badly?

Wow! He looks so old, older than Andrew

declutteringmymind · 12/03/2023 20:35

I noticed this. Hope he's ok.

This was commented on when the Queen died.
I think he's just becoming an older typical Windsor. All the men are a bit craggy and slim. Duke of Kent, Prince Philip. Charles himself.

ThePoshUns · 12/03/2023 20:43

He's always been thin hasn't he?

DessertsForAll · 12/03/2023 20:43

His deterioration in weight and looks is quick. He is only 59 years old.

@ThePoshUns He has never been fat, but not this thin. He looks like he has been ill.

OP, why have you started a thread to speculate about someone’s health 🤔

derelicte · 12/03/2023 20:50

Not sure how he looked before, but he looks like a pretty normal weight guy in that photo.

derelicte · 12/03/2023 20:51

Definitely wouldn't describe him as being gaunt or unhealthy thin.

DessertsForAll · 12/03/2023 20:56

This is how he looked in 2022.
He has obviously been ill. I hope he is okay now and on the way to full recovery.

I’d need to see a full length picture to speculate properly 🧐

smilesy · 12/03/2023 21:02

I think that might just be a particularly bad photo in the OP. I’ve just looked at some videos from today and he looks fine. I’m still wondering what the pint of this thread is???

Ishouldbeoutside · 12/03/2023 21:02

I wonder if it’s grief at losing his mother? I was shocked at how he looks.

smilesy · 12/03/2023 21:03

Sorry, videos from yesterday in Edinburgh

DessertsForAll · 12/03/2023 21:07

I went on Twitter and various tweets worried about him. People wondering if it is grief that has made me lose so much weight and look ill and maybe the stress with Charles changing everything around.
Also lots pointing out that the Palace pretend to us Royal Family members are very healthy even when it is clear they are not.
Hopefully by Christmas he will look healthy again.

@smilesy Then compare him to a year ago. He looks very different. And the coat he is wearing in Edinburgh looks far too big for him.

He looks like his mum’s cousins

ScentOfAMemory · 12/03/2023 21:13

The angle of the camera, in the "gaunt" photo is looking upwards at him and he has his mouth wide open. In the 2022 picture he's posing, and it's an official professional photo.
That's all.

He does. Especially the Duke of Kent.

DessertsForAll · 12/03/2023 21:19

He has lost a lot of weight in a shortish space of time. Looks at the photos and videos now and a year ago. The photo I posted in 2022 in this thread does not look very different because of camera angles.

The Duke of Kent is 87. Many people lose weight when they get much older. Edward is only 59 FGS. He is not an old man.

He’s lost his mum and dad in the space of a few months; his brother has been outed as a sexual abuser and his nephew has been telling the world how dreadful the royal family are.

No wonder he looks a little “strained”.

toomuchlaundry · 12/03/2023 21:23

@DessertsForAll you can see the family resemblance, not saying he looks exactly like him

CandyLeBonBon · 12/03/2023 21:25

He looks like Andrew Marr! <misses point of thread>

DessertsForAll · 12/03/2023 21:27

@LizzieSiddal Yes hopefully just the stress and he is not ill. Or that if he has been ill he is recovered. He is 59, an age when more serious illness can strike for the first time.
