(ANSA) - LONDON, FEBRUARY 21 - There is growing concern over the greeting of the almost centenary Prince Philip, consort of Queen Elizabeth, hospitalized since Tuesday evening in a private wing of the King Edward VII hospital in London following a natural "malaise" unspecified.
Buckingham Palace has made it known that for now it has "nothing to add", after the fifth night of hospitalization, to the assurances given so far according to which the Duke of Edinburgh is "in a good mood" and has no ailment connected with Covid (against which he is was vaccinated together with ElisabettaII in January). But the visit received yesterday by Prince Charles and heir to the British throne feeds some fears. Carlo has moved more than 150 kilometers from the country residence where he spent the last months of the pandemic, to spend half an hour with his father: an unusual fact taking into account the limitations imposed by the lockdown on hospital visits; and that he also raised some eyebrows among ordinary people with relatives hospitalized in the Kingdom so as to induce the health management of the King Edward to specify how the structure that houses the duke, as private, allows in this phase visits not only to terminal patients or those in need of special assistance family, but also in the presence of "exceptional circumstances" that are not better defined. However, the only justification for what happened alternative to a turning point in Philip's conditions appears to be the one advanced by the royal commentator Penny Junor: according to which the Prince of Wales may have wanted to see his elderly father "at a crucial moment" for the events of the Windsor house to "reassure him. about Harry "and Meghan. After the confirmation of the choice of the Dukes of Sussex to renounce the status of senior members of the dynasty and the consequent revocation of a series of their royal offices and patronages.
