Royal expert on Philip's final message to Charles during hospital visit

Prince Charles was pictured with tears in his eyes after visiting his father in hospital a few weeks ago and now a royal commentator claims Prince Philip had ‘three important things to say’ to his son at the time.

Prince Philip died on Friday at the age of 99, with Prince Charles paying tribute to his ‘dear papa’ outside his Highgrove House, on Saturday.

Now, royal expert Robert Jobson claims in a column for the Daily Mail that Prince Charles relayed his final wishes to Prince Charles during the hospital visit.

Prince Philip is believed to have requested to see Prince Charles at the hospital, where he reportedly told him to “care for the Queen when he was gone” and told Charles how he “should lead the royal family through the years ahead”.
