Is Prince Philip affected by the dreaded cancer? Buckingham Palace denies the news!
August 9, 2008
Prince Philip was hospitalised in King Edward VII Hospital in London and spent three days there. According to a report in the Evening Standard publication, the 87 year ailing old, Prince Philip, had been diagnosed with prostrate cancer in April.
Generally, the Palace abides by the rule of not commenting on any news about private lives of the royal family. However this time around, in an apparent departure from the convention, the Buckingham Palace issued a strong denial of the report.
The statement said: “Buckingham Palace has always maintained that members of the royal family have a right to privacy, particularly in relation to their personal health. For this reason, we have always refused to confirm or deny the persistent rumours that circulate about their health, particularly during the quieter news months.”
Cancer, the dreaded disease, can be painful for a patient to endure. The disease should not strike a Prince or even a Pauper for that matter, we pray! Hope there is ample proof in the Buckingham Palace denial of the news.
