KEY POINTS

  • Prince Philip's health is predicted to worsen this year and may lead to his death
  • Queen Elizabeth is, reportedly, making several changes in the royal family
  • Prince Charles could step into Queen Elizabeth shoes amid Prince Philip's deteriorating health

Prince Philip has been away from the spotlight since he retired from his royal duties on Aug. 2, 2017. Since then, royal followers have been getting much lesser updates about Queen Elizabeth’s husband, including his whereabouts and important details of his personal life. In Dec. 2019, palace insiders claimed that the father of Prince Charles met an accident that scared his supporters.

Buckingham Palace, then, announced that the Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London amid growing fears for his health condition. Though his admission was said to be a precautionary measure, Prince Philip was, reportedly, observed and treated in relation to a pre-existing condition.

The health scare intensified after The Sun reported that Prince William’s grandfather suffered a bad fall, which left him bedridden for weeks. Though he did not break any of his bones, several fans got worried and concerned about Prince Philip’s deteriorating health.

Prince Charles, during his visit to South Yorkshire late last year, shared about the hospital stay of her father. The husband of Camilla Parker-Bowles said that the Duke of Edinburgh was being looked after in the hospital. “At the moment, that’s all we know,” the Prince of Wales revealed, per the Telegraph. “All right. When you get to that age, things don’t work so well,” he continued.

Recently, psychic Georgina Walker made a fearless forecast about Prince Philip’s fate in 2020. The soothsayer claimed that the Duke’s condition will exacerbate and might even end up to death. Georgina also stated that Queen Elizabeth will have a major makeover on royals’ agenda this year.

“I see the flag over Buckingham Palace flying at half-mast. I see the Queen in mourning clothes and sense the death of a significant royal. The Queen continues to revamp the agenda of the royals, making it more simplified and youthful,” Georgina said, via the Jan. 6 issue of New Idea Magazine. “Charles will be stepping into her shoes, with the view that time is now approaching for a takeover to secure the continuing success of the monarchy,” she went on.

In the past, Prince Philip hospitalized for a number of health concerns such as a blocked coronary artery, bladder infection and abdominal surgery, per The Guardian. He, also, went under the knife, in April 2018, for a hip replacement surgery. The current health status of Prince Harry’s dad remains unknown as of this writing.

Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth and the other members of the royal family have yet to comment on Georgina Walker’s predictions.
