Uh @ Pearley If the queen HAD wanted to visit Phillip in the hospital, they could certainly have provided a sterile area for them to be together. She wouldn't have had to walk all around various corridors or be in highly populated areas.

If she had wanted to see him, they would have made accomodations. There was no excuse for her not wanting to be with him, even briefly. Well, yes, there are plenty of excuses, as mentioned upthread.
@Tinkrbl44, I think that you are be assuming facts not in evidence. :-)
------------------------
So right!! Why would anyone even assume that she did not want to see her husband? None of us know what went on behind closed doors and cameras. There is such a thing as 'seeing/talking' to someone remotely thru computers.
And maybe he begged her not to come?? I know several people sick in hospital who did not want anyone around...covid and just too emotionally difficult.

I wish the two young brothers would mend how they feel, I just lost my sister, and I'd sure hate to think we were in that position when the end for once of us, comes. It's a regret you can't change at that end.

@qualitygal I'm sorry to hear of your loss with your sister, I too just lost my sister too in February and I am just heartbroken.......You never know what can happen, it is a regret you can't change. I really hope that they can mend their relationship!

Maybe they did. I just can't see them letting anything divide them. It might happen for a while but they will always be there for each other.

I thought it was a tasteful service and evidently what Prince Phillip wanted.

The Queen did seem frail, but then again I stopped to think about how long it has been that I have seen an actual video of her performing any type of service of doing anything. I have seen some still photos, but I think it has been over a year since I personally saw a video of her due to quarantining at Windsor.

No doubt it is incredibly hard on her though. There is no way that losing your husband of more than 70 years doesn't leave a huge void in your life.

There has been a couple here that have been featured on our local news. Their parents were connected to the Kentucky Horse Park, of which Prince Phillip evidently took quite a bit of interest and visited several times. These individuals became friends with Prince Phillip and evidently the trips he made here were hush/hush. He specifically requested that no press be alerted, no pictures given out, etc. So these individuals honored that over the years. The couple stated that Prince Phillip didn't want much ado about his visiting. And true to their promise, even though they have multiple family pictures taken with Phillip, they wouldn't release them to the press covering this story either.

They did show a couple of letters he sent them and a couple of trinkets he sent them over the years, but no pictures. True to their promise.

I feel so sad for the Queen😞

@Kitty Galore

I know that losing a spouse or family member is always difficult, but I think many are forgetting that the royals have been groomed all their lives to play to the camera. They need to look good for the cameras. Remember Diana sitting alone in front of the Taj Mahal? Play to the cameras.

While people have plenty of sympathy for the queen right now, I'm pretty sure she had written him off ages ago.

@Tinkrbl44 What a terrible thing to say! How in the world do you know this?? smh
