As questions continue to surround the health of 99-year-old Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, reports filtering out of the Royal Family are that his grandson, Prince Harry, has been asked to come home to the United Kingdom, possibly to share final ‘goodbyes’.

According to a report from The Royal Observer, a source from within the circle of the Royal Family, said: “The Duke of Sussex is being advised to fly
home right now to say goodbye to his grandfather.”

Prince Philip, husband to Queen Elizabeth II, remains in hospital two weeks after being admitted on February 16 for an ‘ongoing infection’. The infection is said to be unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The Duke’s admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’s Doctor, after feeling unwell. The Duke is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and rest,” read a statement from the Royal Family when news of his illness was first revealed.

However, the report from The Royal Observer suggested that the Duke’s condition is much more severe.

Though the reports don’t offer much regarding the well-being of the 99-year-old Prince Philip, his health is a large enough concern.

As a result, the British Royal Family is preparing for the worst.

Prince Harry currently resides in California with his pregnant wife, Meghan Markle, and their two-year-old son, Archie, after they gave up their official royal roles last year.

The separation followed disagreements with other members of the Royal Family and the British media.

On the likelihood of him returning to the UK to check on his grandfather, The Royal Observer wrote that its source said: “Who knows if he will listen.”

Hopefully, Prince Harry will make his way home.

According to The Royal Observer, Prince Harry’s stepmother, Camilla, said today (March 3) that “Prince Philip remains comfortable and is responding to treatment”.

Hopefully, no funeral plans will have to be put into effect amid the pandemic and Prince Philip will remain with his loved ones for a while to come.
