Rumour has it that he is very very unwell.
Has anyone heard anything?

The Queen has gone to Balmoral, but can't stay in the castle yet as open season for the public is not quite over. She is staying in one of the estate lodges until then. Prince Philip has not accompanied her. Perhaps he will join them when they move into the castle.
He is a very old man, he was 97 on his birthday in June, and looks increasingly frail in the latest photos of the Royal Family. God bless him, he has been a solid support for the Queen.

That's right MiniMoon he has supported the Queen all her long reign, he looks frail now as expected at his age. I gather he still has a sharp tongue. Hope he enjoys a period of retirement at least.

I hope he can get to Balmoral, the family loved it there

Well he seemed fine in the Crown and Anchor the other night . Playing darts and chatting the barmaids up . He even polished off one of Betty’s hotpots . wink
