Philip was admitted to the private King Edward VII’s Hospital in London on Tuesday after falling ill. Buckingham Palace said the husband of Queen Elizabeth II was expected to remain in the hospital into this week for a period of observation and rest.
London: Prince William said on Monday that his grandfather, Prince Philip, is “OK” as the 99-year-old royal consort remains under in a hospital for rest and observation.
William was asked about Philip when he visited a coronavirus vaccination centre in eastern England.
“Yes, he’s OK, they’re keeping an eye on him,” William said, and gave a wink.
Philip’s illness is not believed to be related to COVID-19. Both he and the queen, 94, received the first dose of a vaccine against the coronavirus in early January.
Philip, who retired from public duties in 2017, rarely appears in public.
