Prince Philip has been treated in a hospital for a few days.
His grandson, Prince Harry, prepares for the worst in the distance.
Montecito - Prince Philip has been a rock solid in Great Britain for many decades, an important pillar of the monarchy.
The ups and downs, the scandals and scandals of the royal family never seemed to throw him off course.
He stood steadfastly by his wife, Queen Elizabeth.
But he cannot help with the latest crisis because he himself is at the center of it.
The prince is now 99 years old and had to be admitted to a clinic a few days ago and probably stay there for a few days.
The court asserts a pure precautionary measure.
But concern is also great in the Royal Family.
So big that even the emigrated Prince Harry now takes precautionary measures in case of emergency.
Prince Harry in great concern: A private jet is ready for an emergency
Because should the worst happen, the Duke of Sussex wants to be in Britain with his family as soon as possible.
Therefore, he has been in voluntary quarantine with his wife Meghan and son Archie for a few days, as reported by the British daily
The Mirror
.
The three probably isolate themselves in their home in Montecito, California.
Prince Harry wants to rule out that he is infected with the corona virus.
Even a private jet is said to be ready to take him from his villa directly to London.
The royal Brit receives regular updates on his grandfather's health.
Only a few days ago it became known that the Sussexes would not return to their role as working royals.
A delicate situation that must have left both sides with hurt feelings.
However, that won't stop Harry from helping his family in difficult moments.
Will Prince Harry travel without Meghan?
The Duchess is five months pregnant
One problem, however, is that entering the UK from the US may not be as easy as hoped.
Because of the ongoing corona pandemic, the British government has imposed strict entry rules.
The prince not only has to present a current negative test result when entering the country, he should actually have to be in quarantine for ten days after his arrival.
There are also two other tests, both of which must be negative.
These regulations could make it difficult for the prince to get to his family in a timely manner.
But it is possible that he could at least skip the quarantine as a member of the royal family and an accompanying certain diplomatic immunity.
It is also questionable whether Prince Harry would travel alone or with his wife and child in an emergency.
Because Meghan Markle is pregnant for the second time - and already in the fifth month.

Great Britain itself is considered a risk area due to the virus mutation B.1.1.7 widespread there.
The Duchess is unlikely to expose her unborn child to unnecessary risk.
Hopefully, however, the worst will not come and Prince Philip's health will improve again.
Then grandson Harry could congratulate him on his 100th birthday (maybe even personally) in June.
