A statement released by Buckingham Palace on Tuesday said that Prince Philip, who is 99 years old and the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, would be spending more time at a hospital in London, where he is receiving treatment for an unidentified disease. The Duke of Edinburgh is still being treated for an infection at King Edward VII’s hospital, according to a statement. He is now getting medical care for the condition. Although he is doing well and responding well to therapy, it is not anticipated that he will be discharged from the hospital for some days. According to the palace, Philip, who has been married to the Queen for 73 years, was brought to the luxury London hospital a week ago as a “precautionary step” when he felt poorly. This was done in order to ensure that he would not get ill. An previous statement made by his youngest son, Prince Edward, to Sky News Television said that his father was “a lot better…, and he’s looking forward to coming out.” “so we keep our fingers crossed,” he added. Prince William, who is the grandson of Philip, said on Monday that his grandfather was “fine” and that he was being constantly observed by medical personnel. Some sources inside the palace have said that his admittance was not connected to the coronavirus. Prince Charles, the heir apparent to the throne, paid a visit to his father in the hospital on Saturday, although he did not remark on his father’s current condition of health. After a recurrence of a bladder illness that caused him to be unable to participate in the festivities for the queen’s diamond jubilee, Philip, a former navy commander, sought treatment at the same hospital in August of 2012. Once he was diagnosed with a blocked coronary artery, he had surgery to have a stent implanted the year before.
