Prince Philip couldn't be bothered
107 Answers
Did you notice how uninterested Prince Philip was towards the crowds clapping and wishing him well, outside Church today ? I even noticed someone in a wheelchair waiting outside church. What is it about the Royal Family that makes people queue for hours in the cold and wet when certain members can't even be bothered to look at them ?

One of my neighbours is in his 90s and there is no stopping him - totally independent and cuts the hedges and lawns for his neighbours because they are too busy working to do it.
His wife is of a similar age and she too is fit and well in every aspect.

He did smile and wave.
If you got the chance to meet him you would realise he is a great bloke with a lot of wit and wisdom, he has done well to keep himself in the background as that is where he is supposed to be when the Queen is around! Trouble is the gutter press and those that want to have a moan will always find something wrong with his attitude or behaviour.
It is not in his job description to shake the hands of all those who want to follow him and annoy him all the time, I am sure if you had to put up with all he has done in his life you would want a quiet life now and again.

Welsh, no I don't personally, not in my line of work - but I am not pretending that it's not there, I know too well that dementia is a major issue - so please don't think I'm belittling the problem, only that it certainly doesn't affect everyone of a certain age.
I have the greatest respect for people like you and ratter who work with people with dementia and Alzheimer's - I have heard Barbara Pointon MBE speak twice now and each time, I learned so much from her about the condition and how best family and carers can interreact with those people.
Prince Philip and the Queen don't display any signs - that's what I'm getting at.

NO RH, but 50 odd years ago it was all in the papers & mags it was quite q talking point then by my parents & people. All of a sudden it was all hushed up & it was very noticable, people talked about it for a long time.
I remember the Hoo-Hah! and have never forgotten.
There must be others who remember...
