To be fair they do travel a lot and spend a lot of time on their feet, more than we'd expect of most over 90s. The ribbon cutting often involves meeting, talking to people, speeches. It's a lot for someone of that age. I'm not a monarchist but I can sympathise that they are expected to gad about and stand a lot for their respective ages.

Fantastic couple and as for ribbon cutting, making small talk is the most tiring thing ever, never mind the effort of getting out of bed at 91 and 96, Philip has 24 further engagements before he hangs up his hat, the upcoming Royals aren't a patch on these two.

I imagine just trying to not to die in his sleep takes up most of his day.

A cough and a cold at their advanced age can be pretty serious and I'm sure a doctor would visit any person if that age if requested. With their engagements planned in as advance as they are the queen can hardly wake up and think she'll have a break day today... I'm in no way a royalist in any shape or form but think they carry out their duties amazingly for their years.
