Just a few days before his death, Prince Philip was in “good shape” and after returning from the hospital insisted that no one worry about his health, the source was quoted as saying by the Mirror.
Prince Philip was in “good shape” and spent the last days with his wife at Windsor Castle, according to royal sources.
The duke was disappointed by Covid’s restrictions, which prevented him from meeting his family and made it more difficult for him to visit the nurse. At the beginning of the week, he was still reading and writing letters, as well as talking to relatives on the phone.
A source in the Daily Mail said that since returning from the hospital, 99-year-old Philip had become “calmer and quieter”, mostly staying in his room. There were always two framed photos by his bed, one showing his mother and the other a picture of his wife.

He was always determined to die in his home, where meal times were changed so that he could eat with his wife whenever he felt good enough. In recent days, the prince’s appetite had worsened.
The queen is said to have said that the duke refused to wear a hearing aid, and he also forbade the employee to pick up the glasses he had dropped, instead doing it himself.
The prince also enjoyed short walks, during which he used a cane and gave up the use of a wheelchair. The source also reveals that Prince Philip said he would not return to the hospital.
Prince Philip, the 99-year-old wife of Queen Elizabeth II of Britain, has already been reported dead, Buckingham Palace confirmed on Friday.
Philip married Princess Elizabeth in 1947, five years before she became queen. They were the longest reigning royal couple in British history.
The couple has four children, eight grandchildren and ten grandchildren.
In mid-March, the prince was discharged from the hospital and returned to Windsor Castle, where he lived in isolation from the outside world with Elizabeth II during the pandemic.
When Philip was hospitalized in February, Buckingham Palace announced that the prince was suffering from an infection, but did not detect any. The castle later stated that the prince was not infected with the new coronavirus.
In early March, the castle announced that Philip had been transferred to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, where he underwent a successful medical procedure for a pre-existing heart problem. He was then taken back to the hospital of King Edward VII, from which he was discharged on 16 March.
The prince was hospitalized on February 16, the longest time Philip spent in the hospital.
