Philip out of U.K. hosp after surgery

Britain’s Prince Philip was spotted leaving a London hospital on Tuesday, a month after he was first admitted.

The 99-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II had been recovering at King Edward VII’s Hospital, a private medical facility, after undergoing “successful” surgery for a preexisting heart condition.

The Duke of Edinburgh (photo) was first hospitalized on Feb. 16. and treated for an infection before being transferred to St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, described on its website as “Europe’s largest specialized cardiovascular service.”

While Buckingham Palace did not initially specify why Philip was receiving treatment, officials emphasized that it was unrelated to COVID-19.

After 28 days, his longest stay in the hospital yet, Prince Philip returned to Windsor Palace, where he and the Queen have been living with minimal staff amid the global coronavirus pandemic.

The couple, who have been married for 73 years, both received their first doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in January.

The duke, who will turn 100 in June, has received treatment for a variety of health conditions including a bladder infection in 2012 and exploratory surgery on his abdomen in June 2013, BBC News reported.

Fort Lee: In the 75 pages of the Sunday edition of the Daily News, not one article about the crisis at the border. Yes, we are facing a crisis at the border even if the Biden administration wants to call it something else and the Daily News decides to ignore it. But hey, thanks for the article about the J-Rod breakup and the two-page article about the classic movie “The French Connection” (50 years later), or even better, the Justice Story about a murder that happened in Alabama in 1987.
