Prince Philip is “Under the Weather” and had to pull out of his engagement at Windsor Castle today-

I did find it odd it wasn’t at the ceremony today. I hope he feels better.

 

[royal rob]

Oh dear I think I will holding my breath till the wedding is over. Just got a horrible feeling.

Will we get any more news on his health in the next day I wonder

 

[Curryong]

This winter has probably been shocking for the elderly in so many places. If he's got a touch of bronchitis or something like that Prince Philip will be better off indoors.

 

[Princess Larisa]

Will we get any more news on his health in the next day I wonder

They’ll announce if he has to go to the hospital, but I don’t think they’ll say anything otherwise.

I expect to see him on Thursday for the church service at Windsor, so we’ll see if he is there.
