Prince Philip Released From Hospital

The Duke of Edinburgh has been discharged from hospital after a 5-night stay at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, where he received treatment for a bladder infection.

It was the 91-year-old’s third hospital stay in nine months.

Denise Webster, a senior staff nurse, told reporters: "The duke was a very good patient, and as he left the hospital he told staff to behave themselves and he said he was going back to enjoy the rest of his holiday."

The duke has now rejoined the rest of the Royal Family at Balmoral.

Buckingham Palace had described his admission to hospital as a "precautionary measure" after the recurrence of an infection he suffered shortly before the Diamond Jubilee concert on 4 June.
