Prince Charles has disclosed his final conversation with his father Prince Philip, according to reports.
The Prince of Wales has apparently revealed his last words to his elderly dad in a new documentary.
Charles will be seen discussing what was said in the BBC One special about the Duke of Edinburgh this week.
What did Prince Charles say to Prince Philip?
Prince Philip passed away aged 99 at Windsor Castle on April 9 this year.
According to the Daily Mail, Prince Charles telephoned Prince Philip at home the day before he died.
The pair are said to have then enjoyed a touching conversation about Philip’s 100th birthday, which was two months’ away.
Charles apparently told his father: “We’re talking about your birthday.”
He then repeated his words, as Prince Philip had struggled to hear.
“We’re talking about your birthday!” Prince Charles said. “And whether there’s going to be reception!”
Philip is said to have replied: “Well, I’ve got to be alive for it, haven’t I?”
Smiling at his father’s response, Charles says he told his witty dad: “I knew you’d say that!”
