The whole of Britain is concerned: last week it was announced that Prince Philip (99) was in hospital. Now the palace is giving a long-awaited update on his health. “He is feeling fine and responding to treatment, but is not expected to leave the hospital in the next few days,” the palace said on Tuesday, according to British media.
It is the first time that a reason has been given for the hospitalization of Queen Elizabeth II’s husband (94). “He is receiving medical attention for an infection,” the statement said.
