The source told
The Telegraph, "He spent most of the four weeks he was in hospital trying to get home. They operated on his heart in a bid to give him a little longer, maybe with the 100th birthday in mind. But he didn't really care about that. There is no way he would have wanted to die in hospital."
Just last week, the head of the royal medical household, Sir Huw Thomas, certified the cause of Prince Philip's death as simply "old age." When his passing was first announced, Queen Elizabeth posted an emotional statement saying, "He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know."
