Phillips is the son of Princess Anne and the eldest of the late Queen Elizabeth’s eight grandchildren. He says that his uncle is frustrated that the convalescence is taking longer than he would like.
– He’s frustrated that he can’t get ahead and do everything that he wants to be able to do, says Phillips.
Although the king is pragmatic and understands that recovery will take time, he is eager to return to a normal state, according to Phillips.
