Palace denies Philip cancer scare
Wednesday 6th August 2008, 1:50PM BST.
Buckingham Palace today denied a report that Prince Philip, 87, has prostate cancer.
A palace statement said: “The Duke of Edinburgh has authorised us to confirm that the claim made by the Evening Standard that he has received a ‘diagnosis of prostate cancer’ is untrue.” It said the story breached his right to privacy.
The London newspaper reported that Prince Philip was diagnosed with the condition while in hospital with a chest infection in April.
