Just a passing phase....

The article that kicked off the latest rumours about Prince Philips health.

Is it a passing phase or have the press decided it's time to kill off old Prince Philip? I can hear the keyboards tapping away in a desperate ploy for something newsworthy during the tabloid "silly season".

It seems the old boy only has to fart and then he's condemned to a deathly disease. The latest is a report that first surfaced in The Evening Standard alleging the DoE (Philip) was recently diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Whether true or not, let's hope people give him a break. He is after all, 86 years of age.

Her Majesty 'Clean' Elizabeth II

Cherie Blair, wife of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, has revealed that The Queen cleans up after her guests. Speaking to Itay's "A" magazine, Mrs Blair said that whilst an invited guest of Her Majesty and Prince Philip at Balmoral, she was amazed to see the monarch cleaning up the dinner plates and clearing the table. Mrs Blair said: 'The Queen helps clear away the dishes with other members of the Royal Family and the first year I was there I tried to help. But tradition says it is the Queen and her family who have to clear away for their guests. It was extraordinary to watch, especially for someone from my background. The first time we went there Prince Philip saw how interested I was in the barbecue and he very kindly gave us one. I can't wait to use it in our country home - when we were at Downing Street we never got a chance.'

New fears for Prince Philip's health

Prince Philip is currently visiting Turkey with Her Majesty the Queen. The 86-year-old Prince was attending a state banquet in Ankara when he suddenly had a coughing attack. One onlooker told the Daily Express: "He looks dreadful - as if he's gasping for breath."

Looking frail and with a pallor complexion, the Prince managed to gain some composure before once again suffering another coughing fit. This latest health scare comes less than a month after the Duke was released from hospital after suffering a respiratory infection. A Buckingham Palace official denied the Prince was in ill health saying: "He is fine. If he was ill, he wouldn't have come on this trip."
