Prince Philip's Final Death Bed Message to Prince Charles Revealed

On Friday morning, news emerged that Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had passed away.
Now, his final death bed message to his son, Prince Charles, has been reported.
Keep scrolling to see what he said.
On Friday morning, news emerged that Prince Philip had passed away.
He was 99-years-old.
Now, the royal family is an important part of British culture.
The Brits are extremely proud that Queen Elizabeth is the longest-ruling monarch of the United Kingdom. Since her coronation on February 6th, 1952, she surpassed Queen Victoria's old record of sixty-three years on the throne in 2015.
Queen Elizabeth lived through the world war.
During WWII, she and her sister, Princess Margaret, were evacuated to Windsor to keep them safely out of London. While there, Elizabeth made her first public appearance by way of radio broadcast. She famously said, "that in the end, all will be well; for God will care for us and give us victory and peace."
This was when then Princess Elizabeth first became known to the public.
Here she is with her parents, sister, and the then Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Winston Churchill. Her good relationship with the public made way for the acceptance of Prince Phillip.
But when her father died in February of 1952...
Elizabeth, the King's first-born, automatically became the Queen of England. And this will be the case for Prince Charles with the current Queen unfortunately passes.
By June 2nd 1953, Queen Elizabeth had officially taken on the reigns.
She was crowned at Westminster Abbey at the meager age of twenty-seven. Charles was present at his mother's crowning; He was aged 4 at the time. Interestingly, Elizabeth's was the first coronation to be shown on television.
She wasn't ruling totally alone though, because Prince Philip was always by her side.
Elizabeth married Phillip Mountbatten (a distant relative of hers) on November 20th, 1947, when she was just twenty-one. She'd met Philip aged thirteen and the 2 quickly became totally smitten.
However, Philip wasn't an expected fit for the Queen.
But he quickly became a very important part of her life.
Queen Elizabeth was known for being more reserved and thoughtful, while Philip always had a reputation for being a bit bold and brash, resulting in a somewhat mixed reputation in high society.
But the pair continued to stand the test of time.
Soon after their marriage, they were required to take the last name of Windsor, which admittedly caused some tensions.
There have also been numerous public scandals, including rumors of Philip's infidelity.
But, despite all of this, the pair wasted no time in starting a family.
Their first child, Charles, was born in 1948, and is pictured of the left. Their second child, Anne, soon followed in 1950.
The Queen and Philip had a total of 4 children together...
And there's no denying how they have become one of the most admired and famous couples in the entire world.
But in more recent times...
Prince Philip was battling some repeated health conditions.
The royal underwent many surgeries in order to regain his health over the years.
Having previously dealt with complications such as a blocked coronary artery and a bladder infection just days before his ninety-second birthday, Prince Philip underwent exploratory abdominal surgery which he recovered from.
And in 2015, he retired from public engagements entirely after becoming the longest-standing royal consort in British history.
But soon after, he fell victim to another health issue which involved a hip replacement surgery and since then, he had been on a tragically rocky path.
Well, things seemed to take a turn for the worst for the ninety-nine-year-old royal.
On the evening of February 16th, Prince Philip was rushed to hospital after feeling "unwell."
The Sun reported that the royal would be spending "a few days" there.
But it was also reported that he was in "good spirits" after being taken to the King Edward VII Hospital in London.
The Duke made a brief recovery...
But since then, things were quick to get worse.
His health deteriorated rapidly...
And on Friday, we have received the news we were all dreading.
It was confirmed Friday that Prince Phillip had tragically passed away aged ninety-nine.
He will be greatly missed by all those who know and love the royal family.
And since the tragic news broke, people have been worrying about the Queen's condition.
Uh oh, The Queen is a person that would get broken heart syndrome.

Her love is real.
Comments have been flooding in...
Honestly if The Queen dies cause of a broken heart I’ll be really upset

RIP Prince Phillip. Did the country a massive service and has been The Queens rock for the past 70+ years! Sadly can only imagine the devastating affect this will have on The Queen at her age and wouldn’t be surprised if she passes away with a broken heart very soon. Again, RIP.

Really sad to hear about Prince Philip.

Concerned about the effect it could have on the Queen.. We can’t afford anything happening to her right now while everything is still so unsettled. The stability she provides is so often taken for granted by many who don’t understand.
And it's been confirmed the Queen is set to enter an 8-day period of mourning.
It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

And to join her husband on what will be a very emotional day for the entire family.
Prince Charles has since made an emotional speech about his late father.
The pre-recorded statement was released just hours ago showing a clearly emotional Charles paying tribute to his father.
In the statement, Charles said:
My dear Papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him, and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that.
"As you can imagine, my family and I miss my father enormously."

He was a much loved and appreciated figure and apart from anything else, I can imagine, he would be so deeply touched by the number of other people here and elsewhere around the world and the Commonwealth, who also I think, share our loss and our sorrow.
"It will sustain us in this particular loss and at this particularly sad time."

I particularly wanted to say that my father, for I suppose the last 70 years, has given the most remarkable, devoted service to the queen, to my family and to the country, but also to the whole of the Commonwealth
Take a look at the clip below:
It's so hard to watch.
Now, the Daily Mail has reported that Prince Philip made a number of requests to Charles in the weeks before his death.
Chatting after the service, Sophie Wessex spoke movingly of Prince Philip’s final moments.

“It was right for him. It was so gentle. It was just like somebody took him by the hand and off he went. Very, very peaceful. And that’s all you want for somebody isn’t it?” pic.twitter.com/hPTFAadSwN
A palace source has revealed that Prince Philip knew he was unlikely to recover and wanted to share three things with his son.
Firstly that he wanted Charles to take care of the Queen after his death.
Prince Philip and The Queen were married for over 70 years and his death has left a 'huge void' in her life...
Secondly.
Philip has advised Charles on leading the Royal Family because when the Queen dies he will become the Head of State - a job he has been preparing for his entire life.
And the final thing Philip reportedly told Charles.
Was all about his wishes for his final days.
The Duke wanted to return to Windsor Castle where he could spend his final days behind the walls of his beloved home.
Thankfully, Philip's final wish came true.
Rest in peace Prince Philip.
1921-2021.
