Charles is much more worried about Philip’s health than Oprah’s interview, as the 99-year-old duke heads to the 20th day of hospitalization.
- Prince Charles is said to be “deeply concerned” about Prince Philip’s well-being
- The source says he is much more concerned with his father than “whatever Oprah does”
- He is expected to remain in hospital for continued treatment for a few days
The Prince of Wales is much more concerned about his father’s health than the appearance of the US chat show of Meghan and Harry, may reveal The Mail on Sunday.
Charles is said to be “deeply concerned” about the well-being of Prince Philip, who improved yesterday after a successful heart procedure.
A source said of the future king: “He is a man who feels strong emotions and is much more concerned with the Duke of Edinburgh than anything Oprah Winfrey would do in California.”
Charles is said to be “deeply concerned” about the well-being of Prince Philip, who improved yesterday after a successful heart procedure.
Prince Philip (pictured) underwent surgery last Wednesday at St Bartholomew’s in central London, a leading NHS heart center, before being moved back to King Edward VII Private Hospital on Friday.
Philip is spending his 20th day in hospital today, but it is hoped he will be well enough to reunite with the queen soon.
The 99-year-old boy underwent surgery last Wednesday in St Bartholomew in central London, a leading NHS heart center, before being moved back to King Edward VII Private Hospital on Friday.
Buckingham Palace said it expects to remain in hospital for “continuous treatment” for several days. He was hospitalized on February 16 after feeling unwell at Windsor Castle, Berkshire.
It was later revealed that he was being treated for an infection and then transferred last Monday for treatment with a pre-existing heart condition. The palace declined to comment on the operation, but it is known that the duke installed a stent in 2011.
Meanwhile, sources say that although Harry and Meghan’s expected revelations have made the Prince of Wales “very sad”, he is still in contact with his youngest son. They talk regularly, although they did not discuss the content of the interview and Charles is not believed to have intervened to try to stop the Sussex with the plan.
A source said: “They have maintained a close relationship between father and son for a long time and leave the work discussions to the men in gray suits.”
It is widely accepted that Charles and Harry did not always have the easiest relationship. Royal insiders say it would have been irritating for the Prince of Wales to see Harry recently appear in the Netflix drama The Crown, which depicts young Charles as a cruel, heartless corpse.

When the latest series was released, there was concern in the palace that the drama had taken its toll – portraying Diana as a victim and portraying Charles as a ruthless and careless husband determined to destroy her trust.
– It’s fictional. But it’s vaguely based on the truth, “said Harry, who has a lucrative business on Netflix, in an interview with Hollywood show host James Corden.
However, Charles’ unwillingness to confront his son may be useful for a reconciliation that might even reunite Harry with his brother William.
A source said: “The prince will wait to see what happens and talk to Harry after the program comes out.”
