LONDON, Feb 22, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – Prince William said Monday that his 99-
year-old grandfather Prince Philip is doing “OK” after spending nearly a week
in hospital.
Questioned by journalists while visiting a vaccination centre in eastern
England, second-in-line to the throne William, 38, said: “Yes, he’s OK,
they’re keeping an eye on him.”
He then gave a wink.
Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II’s husband for 73 years, was admitted to
the private King Edward VII Hospital in London on Tuesday evening as a
“precautionary measure” after he felt unwell, Buckingham Palace said.
Palace sources said that his admission was not coronavirus-related and that
he was in good spirits.
William’s father Prince Charles visited his father in hospital on Saturday
but did not comment on his state of health.
