In the end, it happened exactly as the Iron Duke would have wanted it – as ever, with his beloved wife by his side. Determined to die at home rather than in hospital, Prince Philip was able to pass away peacefully at Windsor Castle, where he was Ranger for more than half a century, very much on his own terms. As his frail condition worsened overnight on Thursday, with insiders warning that he was gravely ill , any talk of whisking the 99-year-old back to hospital was quickly dismissed by the Queen. According to one well-placed source: He spent most of the four weeks he was in hospital trying to get home. They operated on his heart in a bid to give him a little longer, maybe with the 100th birthday in mind. But he didn t really care about that. He just wanted to be back in his own bed. There is no way he would have wanted to die in hospital.
