Good news as Prince Philip has been discharged from King Edward VII Hospital in London after he was admitted last Friday for observation and treatment in relation to a “pre-existing condition”.
After four nights in the hospital, the royal joins his family for the annual celebrations in Sandringham.
On Tuesday morning, Buckingham Palace said in a statement:
“The Duke of Edinburgh has today left the hospital after being discharged by his Doctor and is now back at Sandringham. His Royal Highness would like to thank everyone who sent their good wishes.”
Yesterday during an interview at South Yorkshire Prince Charles was asked about his father’s health by a reporter.
“He’s being looked after very well in hospital,” the 71-year-old royal replied. “At the moment that’s all we know.” A member of the public also showed concern for the Duke, asking, “Sir, how is your father?” To which, Charles responded: “Alright. When you get to that age things don’t work so well!” He said.
Prince Philip turned 98 in June and will on his returning, be seen with the rest of the royal family on Christmas Day.
