UK's Prince William says his 99-year-old grandfather Prince Philip is doing 'OK'

UK’s Prince William on Monday said that his 99-year-old grandfather Prince Philip is doing ‘OK’ as he has spent nearly a week in the hospital. As per reports, when the Duke of Cambridge was questioned about the health of Queen Elizabeth II’s husband while he was visiting a COVID-19 vaccination centre, Prince William said, “Yes, he's OK, they're keeping an eye on him” and then gave a wink. The remarks by the second-in-line to the throne came after Duke of Edinburgh, Queen’s husband of 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 had informed about Prince Philip’s admission and reportedly now royal sources have revealed that it was not related to COVID-19 complications. Prince William’s father, Prince Charles had visited his father in hospital on Saturday. However, the Prince of Wales did not make any comment on the Duke of Edinburgh’s health. 

Prince Charles on February 20 visited his soon-to-turn 100 father, Prince Philip in the hospital who has been admitted since February 16 after reportedly walking in unaided. Prince Charles is believed to be the first member of the British Royal family to have visited the Duke of Edinburgh since his admission to the central London hospital.
