Looking at the active combinations when he was admitted to hospital "on late Thursday afternoon" one can see many activations of the infection combination MA/NE and general illness combinations SA/NE and SU/NE.

Full Moon on December 12, 2008 triggers the stationary Saturn transit contacting the natal MA/SA of Prince Philip, SU/MO of the Queen and MARS of Prince Charles. Transiting Mars will trigger this Saturn station on December 15.
The transiting SUN contacts the natal MA/SA and MC=SATURN of the Queen during December 28-30.
The SATURN station in December also opposes the natal MARS of the U.K. Prime minister Gordon Brown.
Thus a preponderance of combinations of stellar influences point to a
major crisis(likely life-threatening) for Prince Philip in the second week(or last week) of December 2008 that may lead to a period of mourning for the British royal family.
If a crisis is not triggered in December,the first 8 months of 2009 should be considered critical when transiting SATURN returns to its natal position twice.
