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.

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.
