Prince Philip Leaves Hospital After A Month

Queen Elizabeth II’s 99-year-old husband Prince Philip left a central London hospital on Tuesday, after four weeks of treatment.

Buckingham Palace is yet to confirm his discharge from the private hospital, where he has been recovering from what royal aides described as a successful procedure for a pre-existing heart condition.

The Duke of Edinburgh was seen sitting upright the back of a black BMW, wearing a white shirt as he left the hospital.

His month-long stay at King Edward VII’s Hospital and the state-run St Bartholomew’s, also in London, is his longest stint in hospital.

Duke was transferred to a specialist cardiac unit at St Bartholomew’s hospital for a heart procedure before returning to the private hospital on March 5.

He was first admitted on February 16 on the advice of his doctor after he complained of feeling unwell.

Buckingham Palace said initially that he was expected to stay there for a “few days” but stressed his illness was not related to Covid-19.
