Following years of recent poor health, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, Prince Phillip, Duke of Edinburgh, has passed away at age 99. The Duke had been in ill health in recent years, seeing him hospitalized on several occasions and undergoing multiple procedures to help alleviate his conditions, but it proved too much and he has passed away in the comfort of his own bed just months before his 100th birthday.

At least he was able to go at home. I read about his passing this morning but didn't know how he actually passed away.

Yeah, I was a bit shocked he got out of the hospital the last time, he just looked so frail. Glad he got back home before going, most definitely.

99 years on this planet. Good on him for that.

Agreed, that's an exceptionally long time.

He lived for ages, but for the past 5 years he did look as if a gust of wind would knock him over.

 

[Super Kami Guru]

Yeah, he's been so very frail in his last few years, it just seemed inevitable.

You know he's been married to the queen for around 70 years? Thats crazy to me, idk why.

73 years, I believe, almost as long as my mother's been alive. Impressive! He was her rock, so I imagine she's struggling quite a bit now that he's gone.
