    Duke of Edinburgh is in hospital.

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7330697.stm

    The Duke of Edinburgh has been admitted to hospital for treatment for a chest infection, Buckingham Palace has said.

    Prince Philip was taken to the King Edward VII's Hospital in London for "assessment and treatment for a chest infection", a palace spokeswoman said.

    [.....]

    The duke is being treated by Professor John Cunningham, whose speciality is general medicine.
    Surely, his Royal Highness (*** John tugs at forelock ***) should be in the Royal London Homeopathic Hospital being attended to by Peter Fisher?

    Isn't it odd that whenever journalists write their puff-pieces on homeopathy there's always the mention of the homeopathic hospitals and the fact the the Royals believe in and support the use of homeopathy yet whenever they're ill they're always taken to a conventional, if private, medical hospital?

    Is there in fact, any record at all of any Royal (Queen Mother, Princess Margaret, etc.) ever being treated at a Homeopathic hospital or treated with homeopathy for anything other than the most trivial of conditions?

    Just as well that I have no truck with these Saxe-Coburg-Gotha upstarts, or it would be off to the Tower with you, my man!

    I’ve wondered about that too, especially since Her Majesty’s GP - and therefore presumably Philip’s as well - has strong sCAM leanings…

    Queen turns back on Harley Street for 'alternative' GP


    He offers his patients massage, acupuncture, yoga and aromatherapy, but his latest client is not a pop star or an actress - it is the Queen.

    Dr Timothy Evans, the man chosen to replace Sir Nigel Southward, the Harley Street practitioner who has retired as the royal doctor, is based in Wandsworth, south London where he has a private clinic that offers patients a range of "alternative" treatments.

    Dr Evans, 48, works in a modern, airy clinic with white walls, floor-to-ceiling windows, oatmeal-coloured shutters, Moroccan lamps and landscaped gardens.

    He is also a self-made businessman with a portfolio of directorships. He drives a fashionable grey Smart car, complete with "Dr Tim"-style personalised numberplate. According to his clinic's website, Dr Evans, who sports a goatee beard, is a man with "visions". He offers his patients treatments involving the use of Chinese herbal medicine, aromatherapy, massage, yoga, acupuncture, reflexology, stress management, pilates, osteopathy and homeopathy.

    Dr Evans is also the medical director at the Harbour Club gymnasium in Chelsea, west London, once frequented by the late Diana, Princess of Wales. He is even the "family GP" on an internet site.

    His wife, Annabel, is an interior designer who recently gave their six-bedroom property an overhaul to showcase her work. The house is adorned with scented candles and ornamental Buddhas. The couple have two children, Wilfie, two, and Poppy, 18 months.

    Many of Dr Evans's patients live in the affluent tree-lined avenues around the surgery. Yesterday they spoke highly of his work. "He is very approachable, very friendly," said one male patient. "He never rushes you."

    Another neighbour said: "The ladies who lunch love him. He is terribly nice, charming and friendly. He is said to have healing hands."
    Another patient, who takes her two young daughters to Dr Evans, said: "The practice is stunning inside. It doesn't feel like a doctor's surgery. It's more like a spa."

    -snip-

    According to Buckingham Palace officials, Dr Evans treats the Queen and other members of the Royal Family on a private basis but treats members of the Royal Household and domestic staff on the NHS.

    -snip-

    All members of the Royal Family are entitled to be treated by the royal doctor. Buckingham Palace declined to say which members of the Royal Family were under Dr Evans's care. Prince Charles, however, is understood still to use a private doctor in Harley Street.

    Maybe they initially tried some homeo-pathetic remedies and as he showed only a statistically minor improvement, they had to take him to hospital.

    Re: Duke of Edinburgh is in hospital.

    I’m sorry but I think you’re all missing a crucial point here:

    The Duke of Edinburgh was taken into hospital just before the conclusion of the Diana inquest whitewash.

    It’s all a ploy to take him out of the way because he’s obviously a liar and a murderer.

    More proof (as if it were needed) that it’s all a big conspiracy.
