On March 30th, a new royal biography drops a bombshell, Prince Philip battled pancreatic cancer for the last eight years of his life. Diagnosed back in 2013 at age 91, the disease was inoperable, but he beat the odds and lived until April 2000. 21. When he passed at Windsor Castle, Dr. Spotted the shadow on his pancreas during a hospital stay, cut him open across the stomach, then sent him home to recover. Folks thought he'd never appear in public again, but Philip proved them wrong, bouncing back to duties by August that same year. He retired from royal gigs in 2017, chilling mostly at wood farm on the Sanderingham estate. His official cause of death, old age, just two months shy of turning 100 something he didn't want anyway, hating all the birthday hype. The book shares wild details on his final hours. Last night, he ditched the nurses, shuffled to grab a beer, and sifted solo. Next morning, bath time felled off, and slipped away peacefully.

Way longer than typical survival for that cancer. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth wasn't there at the end, and she was furious he left without a goodbye, just like old times. With her own 100th birthday coming up this April, this story hits different for royal watchers. That wrapped entertainment and celebrity news today brought to you with AI. I'm Corey with the story.
