Queen visits Philip in hospital
The Queen visited the Duke of Edinburgh in hospital last night as Buckingham Palace described him as “comfortable and in good spirits” following the exploratory operation on his abdomen.
Her arrival marked Philip’s 92nd birthday, celebrated yesterday, and he was also visited separately by his son the Earl of Wessex earlier in the day.
The Duke is progressing according to plans following his operation on Friday and once out of hospital will spend two months convalescing, said the Palace.
The Queen arrived shortly before 7pm at the London Clinic, where Philip is being treated.
He is expected to remain in hospital for up to two weeks.
