Prince Charles

[WBA1955]

Makes a three hour journey to see his dad, while Prince Harry gets ready to jet in from America.
I haven't been allowed to see my mom since last March and people I know have had loved ones die alone in hospital.

I'll say no more.

Harry Windsor (or rather Saxe-Coburg-Gotha) flying in from the States? Why? If so, I would hope that he is escorted from the airport to the nearest Premier Inn for ten days quarantine.

Charles also visited a hospital last week to say thanks to the staff. Surely he could have done this via a link?

Nice hospital that one in Marylebone. That’s where I had an operation last year and all the Royals use it! Just think Philip could be sat on the same loo as I did when singing - s hit on the Villa - s hit on the villa tonight!

They only let you visit hospitals right now if they think your relative might die. Those are the current rules, I believe.

Unless your surname is Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, or should I say Windsor?

Each hospital sets its own rules but most will allow limited visiting to see patients, especially those nearing end of life.

One of our friends died before Christmas and her husband was able to visit yet his name was not Windsor!

People will bend over backwards to make excuses for a member of the Royal Family who break the rules, but want ordinary people slung in jail.
Typical British mentality.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but what a load of rubbish, on BOTH counts.

That's not the case here though.

If, like other posters are saying, some hospitals have been allowing limited visits then I don't see the problem with this.

The care home situation is more delicate in that these people are incredibly vunerable and all locked in together.

I'm no royalist but I don't see the issue either as long as we don't hear news of a similar situation at the same hospital featuring an age commoner being treated differently and I'm as sure as hell we would do.
