Well said.

Why? HM trained as a mechanic during WWII, not a medic.There is nothing she could do. Her presence would just create more disturbance inside and outside the hospital than would be good for anyone.
If someone I love dearly is having surgery or at the hospital for any reason I am camping out there whether I am a doctor or not. William is going to be there when Kate has the baby despite him not being a trained medic; I am not saying that Elizabeth has to be there just pointing out that being there for someone you love is not a waste of time.
I hope Philip lives to see William and Kate's baby.
Anne was there, but the focus of the media is never on her.
She was there, alright, and she looked smashing. She was wearing a new outfit, I think. She doesn't get new outfits often, but when she does she really makes a mark.
I'm sure all the children and grandchildren were thinking of their father/grandfather's forthcoming surgery and the possibility that this might be the last time he attends one of these fancy dos.
I am in complete agreement. The Queen is a very devout Christian and I am sure she has prayed and left it in the Lord's hands. She will do what is right for her and for her family.She should be there during the surgery.
She should do what she is comfortable with, not act on other people's standards.
Actually, I think people are crossing that very nasty line where they are telling the Queen how she should feel and how she should act during her husband's hospitalization . . . in other words "show US that you care"!I still do not understand why some people think HM should be in the hospital during Philip's surgery. How would that help either of them?

And now we have the nasty little refrain coming back again from the ubiquitous "they". 'They' want to see photo's of a stressed or distressed Queen Elizabeth arrive or leave the hospital just like they did with Queen Beatrix, all they while television personalities commenting on what she is feeling. Ugh! How purile and gross!
The Queen has often sacrificed her own wants/needs in the name of duty. So I wouldn't use her preforming her usual routine as an indicator of how serious things are with Prince Phillip.

If the description of his medical condition and surgery was less vague, there would be a lot less speculation. Trying to maintain any privacy at all must be extremely dificult for them as it just triggers speculation and rumors.
Which Prince Edward? What a good reply though.
I love the Queen's reply, she makes me giggle.
