The Duke of Edinburgh has left King Edward VII Hospital in central London, where he has been recovering from heart surgery four weeks after being first admitted.
He was expelled from the private hospital, where he was recovering from a heart procedure.
The 99-year-old Philip, the country’s oldest consort, was admitted on February 16 and, two weeks later, was transferred to St Bartholomew Hospital in the City of London, where he underwent a medical procedure for a pre-existing heart condition. He has spent 28 nights as an inpatient, his longest stay.
The police had previously blocked vehicle access, as four officers arrived on motorcycles to join a dozen at the entrance.
Hospital staff installed a white folding screen next to a black BMW at the rear of the facility shortly before his departure. The hospital declined to comment, citing patient confidentiality. Buckingham Palace has not yet responded to a request for comment.
