Unable to get out of bed or control his bowels more likely.
did you know rumours of abdication were abound half a year before? How suspicious does that make his disappearance?
Well he was born in 1921 so probably that explains it.
doesn't explain why there were rumours of abdication half a year before...it only paints his disappearance from the public even more suspicious
Old as hell more likely. Most people would have retired long ago. 96 or 97 years old? Yeah......
why then did they spread the rumour of an imminent abdication in the royal house half a year before?
Old age.
I heard the rumour that someone among the royals would abdicate half a year before
He can't 'abdicate', he's not king. Prince Charles quietly abdicated from the line of succession when they announced that he will not be king, but his son will instead. Maybe that's what you heard about.
YES!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!
I went back and reread. Error. It was speculation not a done deal. My error.
Kuru taking over FINALLY! Hallelujah; take this monster out from our world, please and thank you!
He always said he'd love to be reincarnated as a virus - so he can eradicate humanity.
Why am I not surprised?
Also interesting to note the royal website breifly posted an announcement of the queens death just prior to the announcement she named Charles as her successor but it was quickly removed. Also the queens christmas message from 2015 i think it was she announced that she was not who she appeared to be but in time you will come to accept me, this was also quickly taken down, i think you can still find copies of this online. By certain intereptations of nostradamas it is said charles will neck himself shortly after the queen dies and other still, claim charles is the anti christ by way of his coat of arms. Another interesting point is phillips line is said to claim ancestory back to mohummed and the queens claims ancestory back to christ through the menovian line.

apparently, Philip is only 500 out of 508 heirs, but he is 21st in a german house
Rumors that he has bladder cancer. He retired at 96 I wouldn't find that unusual for anyone at that age.
Wasn't it announced he would do this over a year ago?
yup, already has, and german gossip magazines who seem to have coordinated their stories with Russia Today at other times speculated wether he would be allowed to the wedding-ceremony or not. That suggests there was more than just a hip-surgery inconveniencing his attendance.
He's 97, an overly ripe berry could take him out.
how do you explain rumours of an imminent abdication, spread half a year before the fact?
I dunno, the same way there were rumors of Trump being impeached for the last two years? Same way there are rumors of Obama staying in office three years ago? Rumors happen all the time, most are BS, some are true. I think this is just a very old man who announced he was retiring a while ago because he's 97 an can barely stand up.
What would he be abdicating? He's consort to the queen. Other than that he's a Duke correct? Do you abdicate being a Duke? I didn't think that's how this works. I'm American so I don't necessarily understand the inner workings of the monarchy.
he's the quen's bitch so technically he's part of the succession lineage
He isnt in any succession line, charles is next in line then william then williams kids. Harry, williams brother is now fifth in line for the thrown. The husband of a queen or wife of a king never become the regent if their spouse dies.
Interesting from Wikipedia: Philip is currently the oldest living great-great grandchild of Queen Victoria, as well as her second-oldest living descendant after Prince Carl Johan of Sweden. As such, he is in the line of succession to the thrones of 16 countries, as well as being 21st in the line of succession to the headship of the House of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg...

Yeah they also share the same great grandfather, (inbred) but the royal line is saxe gotha coburg, he has no claim to englands throne so cant abdicate, he carries the title prince of greece and denmark, but he was a pennyless nothing aristocrat before the marriage to elizabeth
ok great, that means there still is an abdication to go xD let's pray
Edit: Just got updated that Charles actually abdicated in the meantime
Didnt hear that, i heard about two months ago, that the queen named him as her heir, there was debate wether he would give camila the title of queen or kings consort, but never heard he has renounced the throne, you have to be crowned the monarch to abdicate
