Queen Elizabeth II's grandson says people should not be surprised if
the queen and her husband Prince Philip miss some engagements due to
their advancing years.
Peter Phillips told ITV on
Wednesday that his grandparents maintain a very heavy schedule but will
sometimes have to cancel appointments given their ages.
The
queen is 87; Philip is 91 and has heart disease. He missed an event
this week due to poor health but later attended a service marking the
60th anniversary of the queen's coronation.
Phillips said the queen and Philip are more active than many retired people their age.
The queen and her husband have cut back on lengthy overseas travel but still maintain active public schedules inside Britain.
The queen suffered a prolonged stomach problem several months ago.
