On March 30th, a new book reveals Prince Philip got hit with pancreatic cancer back in 2013, eight years before he passed that. 99 in April, 2021. British historian Hugo Vickers drops this in his upcoming bio on Queen Elizabeth II, saying Docs spotted a shadow on Philip's pancreas and cut, him open. But it was inoperable. They figured he might never show his face in public again, yet the Duke bounced back quick. He chilled at wood farm on the Sandering Hammer stay for a bit, then jumped right back into duties by August that year, outsmarting the grimads. Philip's death got listed as old age, but he'd beaten the typical survival stats for that cancer by a mile. On his last night, he even snuck away for a beer, then slipped away peacefully the next morning after a bath. The Queen wasn't there, and Vickers notes she got mad sometimes when he'd dip out without a goodbye after their 70 plus years together. Even Elizabeth followed him 17 months later on September 8, 2022, at 96, also chalked up

to old age. King Charles, now battling his own cancer diagnosis this year, mourned her deeply, saying her loss hit the world hard. All this comes as Britain gears up to Markwood would have been the Queen's 100th birthday on April 21. From the spotlight, powered by AI, this is entertainment and celebrity news today. I'm Corey with The Story.
