98-year-old the Duke of Edinburgh spent four days at the King Edward VII hospital in London due to a “pre-existing condition”.
However, the Queen and other senior royals didn’t visit Prince Philip while he was in the hospital for four days.
The Queen was criticized by Internet users for not visiting her husband in the hospital. But, here’s the reason why the Queen didn’t visit Prince Philip when he was in the hospital.
Royal expert Victoria Arbiter told that Royals don’t visit each other in the hospital, not because of lack of sensitivity but because these meetings can cause stress to the patient.
The expert said: “After seeing some pretty horrid comments about the Queen being at Sandringham while Philip is in hospital I’d like to TRY to add a little perspective.”
“Generally royals don’t visit each other in the hospital. There are always exceptions but sensible thinking is at the core not a lack of sensitivity. Were the Queen to visit him the security requirements alone would be incredibly disruptive.”
“Conscious of other patients undergoing treatment they don’t want to cause undue stress for them or their families.
Not only are they very private when it comes to medical issues they also want to avoid further speculation.”
“Philip of all of the royals abhors any kind of fuss and he would want the Queen to continue as normal for the rest of the family – children, grandchildren.”
“It’s all about the regular members of the public that would be affected.
That to me suggests an awareness and lack of selfishness as opposed to the ugliness that’s being touted. Every royal decision is made because it’s ‘sensible’. Nothing more nothing less.”
“Philip is pretty set in his ways and the Queen above anyone will be keen to respect his wishes.
I hope royal-watching proves to be a little less contentious on 2020.
They’re not horrible people but rather a family whose every move is analyzed and criticized.
Perhaps a little empathy would be nicer than throwing stones…especially at Christmastime.”
Prince Philip is now doing well and will soon be joining his family after being discharged from the hospital.
