PRINCE PHILIP REMAINS IN HOSPITAL, DOING `A LOT BETTER'

-

Britain's Prince Philip is getting `a lot better,' his youngest son Prince Edward said on Tuesday after Buckingham Palace said the 99-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth II would remain in hospital for several more days to receive treatment for an infection. Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh, walked into London's private King Edward VII Hospital last Tuesday evening after he was advised by his doctor to be admitted after he felt unwell, and has spent seven nights there. “He is comfortabl­e and responding to treatment but is not expected to leave hospital for several days,” Buckingham Palace said, adding he was receiving medical attention for an unspecifie­d infection. Both Philip and the 94-year-old queen have received their first dose of the coronaviru­s vaccine and the Duke's illness is not related to COVID.
