Prince Philip received a visit to the hospital on Saturday – his eldest son, Prince Charles.
The men spent about 30 minutes together at King Edward VII private hospital, where Philip was admitted on Tuesday night for “observation and rest” after feeling bad, the Associated Press reported. He should be released next week.
Philip, who turns 100 on June 10, has no COVID-19. He and his wife, Queen Elizabeth, 94, received the coronavirus vaccine in January.
Masked Charles, 72, arrived by car for the visit. The hospital allows visitors only in “exceptional circumstances” because of the pandemic, according to its website.
Philip has rarely gone out in public since he retired from royal duties four years ago. In July, he attended a military ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
On February 9, Philip and the Queen welcomed their ninth great-grandson, August Philip Hawke Brooksbank, son of Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank.
The princess, Prince André’s youngest daughter, chose the name Philip as a tribute to her grandfather.
