Prince Philip misses Sandringham Church Service

The Duke of Edinburgh has missed the traditional Christmas Day Church Service at Sandringham this morning.

Buckingham Palace says there is no cause for any concern and that the Duke is not ill.

Prince Philip retired from public life in 2017. He now only makes the occasional appearance.

He will spend the rest of the day celebrating Christmas in private with his family.

Royal expert Phil Dampier tweeted: “Looks as though Prince Philip is not attending church at Sandringham. Doesn’t mean any cause for alarm. At 97 he takes each day as it comes and does things when he feels like it.”
