Let me tell you, it wasn’t just another day in the royal household when the news broke that Prince Philip had been rushed to the hospital. This was a big deal, especially for Queen Elizabeth, who has spent over 70 years by her husband’s side. Can you imagine the kind of bond they’ve built over all these years? This is not just a marriage; it’s a partnership that has stood the test of time.
Her Majesty's Heartfelt Concern
According to an insider speaking to Closer Weekly, the Queen is absolutely beside herself with worry. “She can’t imagine what life will be like without her husband in it,” the source revealed. This paints a vivid picture of how deeply intertwined their lives are. At 98 years old, Prince Philip was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London on December 20 for observation and treatment related to a pre-existing condition. You can only imagine the emotional weight this must be carrying for the Queen and the entire royal family.
A Precautionary Measure
The official statement from Buckingham Palace explained that Philip’s hospital stay was purely precautionary, on the advice of his doctor. “The Duke of Edinburgh travelled from Norfolk this morning to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition,” it read. It’s clear that the royal family is taking no chances with Philip’s health, which is exactly what we’d expect from such a close-knit group.

Reuniting with Family
Thankfully, there was some good news as Prince Philip was discharged after spending four nights in the hospital. Buckingham Palace confirmed that His Royal Highness was discharged by his doctor and expressed gratitude for the well-wishes from around the world. “His Royal Highness would like to thank everyone who sent their good wishes,” the statement read. It’s heartwarming to know that Philip got to spend the holidays with his loved ones, despite the initial scare.
Over the years, Prince Philip has been making conscious efforts to slow down and prioritize his health. Back in August 2017, he officially retired from public duties, a decision that was fully supported by the Queen. “His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh has decided that he will no longer carry out public engagements from the autumn of this year,” the announcement stated at the time. This move was aimed at ensuring that Philip could focus on maintaining his well-being, something that’s clearly important to him and his family.
