Duke of Edinburgh ‘on good form’

The Princess Royal has described the Duke of Edinburgh as “on good form” after she paid her father a visit in hospital following his hip operation.

The Queen also gave an update, telling a well-wisher in Windsor “he said he’s getting on very well” when asked about Philip’s recovery.

Anne spent 50 minutes at the private King Edward VII Hospital in central London with her father, who had the planned surgery last Wednesday to replace his joint with a prosthetic implant.
