Queen Elizabeth’s husband and Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip left King Edward VII’s hospital in central London where he had been recovering after heart surgery, four weeks after first being admitted.
Buckingham Palace has now confirmed that he’s been discharged from King Edward VII’s Hospital, after photos shared online showed that he has driven away from the private hospital on Tuesday morning March 16.
The statement read “The Duke of Edinburgh has today been discharged from King Edward VII’s hospital and has returned to Windsor Castle, following treatment for an infection and a successful procedure for a pre-existing condition. His Royal Highness wishes to thank all the medical staff who looked after him at both King Edward VII’s hospital and St Bartholomew’s hospital, and everyone who has sent their good wishes.”
Prince Charles on the other hand said he is “thrilled” his father is out of the hospital, telling reporters on a visit to Finsbury Park mosque in London that he has “spoken to him several times” since he was discharged.
