London: The 90-year-old Duke of Edinburgh and husband of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip has left the hospital after five days of treatment for a bladder infection.

The prince smiled and nodded to reporters yesterday when he was asked if he was feeling better as he left the hospital in time to celebrate his 91st birthday on Sunday. Philip walked slowly but without help from the hospital, shook hands with and thanked staff at King Edward VII Hospital in central London after spending five days there having treatment for a bladder infection.

Britain’s longest-serving consort was taken to hospital on Monday with a bladder infection in the midst of the queen’s diamond jubilee celebrations, less than six months after he needed treatment for a blocked coronary artery. A Buckingham Palace spokesman said the Duke would be spending his birthday “privately”. (PTI)
