US EditionPrince Philip ‘had pancreatic cancer for eight years’
Prince Philip lived nearly eight years with inoperable pancreatic cancer after a 2013 diagnosis, far exceeding typical survival rates of about 5% five-year survival, biographer Hugo Vickers revealed.
- Royal biographer Hugo Vickers revealed in his new book, Queen Elizabeth II, that Prince Philip was diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic cancer in June 2013, a condition kept secret from the public until his death in April 2021.
- Diagnosed at age 91, Philip lived nearly eight years with the disease—far longer than typical survival time, as pancreatic cancer has the worst survival rate of all common cancers, according to Cancer Research UK.
- Vickers wrote that the Duke experienced "elements of tranquillity" in his final days at Windsor Castle, even giving nurses the slip on his last night to enjoy a beer in the Oak Room.
- The Queen was not present when her husband of 73 years died, later describing herself as "absolutely furious that, as so often in life, he left without saying goodbye" after his characteristically unannounced departure.
- Philip died two months before his 100th birthday, which he reportedly "did not want to reach" due to disliking the fuss; his funeral was held under pandemic restrictions with only 30 attendees and The Queen sitting alone.
