On Friday, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband, was transferred to King Edward VII Hospital after undergoing successful surgery. The medical condition of the prince who is spending his longest hospital stay questioned the future of Queen Elizabeth II in case Prince Philip dies.

Royal author Clive Irving said to the Mirror that Prince Philip plays an important role in the queen’s life.  He added that the queen could be more preoccupied with the duke's health.

He also suspected that the queen's will to stay at her position, adding that she may step away from the monarchy after her husband's death.

The author asserted that whatever happens the monarchy will survive, in addition, nobody could blame the queen.

Yesterday, Buckingham Palace announced that the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, has undergone successful surgery for a pre-existing heart condition at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital.

Had the operation on Sunday, the duke will stay at the hospital until he recovers.

“His Royal Highness will remain in hospital for treatment, rest and recuperation for a number of days,” the palace revealed.

Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, revealed that he was “slightly improving.”

Queen Elizabeth II’s husband was admitted first to King Edward VII’s Hospital in London last month where he had his longest hospital stay.

Next, the 100-year duke transported to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital to be observed by heart specialist doctors.

Therefore, many voices in the UK asked the American stations to postpone airing the Tell-All interview of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry with Oprah Winfrey as a sign of respect to the sick grandfather.
