| Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Duke Of
Edinburgh arrive for the official reopening of Kensington Palace on
March 15, 2012 in London, England. |
Talk about a speedy recovery!
Prince Philip,
Duke of Edinburgh, may very well be able to celebrate his 91st birthday at home.
The British royal had recently been hospitalized "as a precautionary
measure after developing a bladder infection," forcing him to miss
several Diamond Jubilee festivities. On Wednesday,
Queen Elizabeth II, 86, visited her husband at the King Edward VII Hospital in central London.
"The Duke's condition has improved considerably. The treatment of his
infection continues with antibiotics," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson
tells Us Weekly. "He is in good spirits spirits but will remain in the hospital over the next few days."
Philip -- who will turn 91 Sunday -- married Queen Elizabeth II on November 20, 1947. They are the proud parents of
Prince Charles, 63,
Princess Anne, 61,
Prince Andrew, 52, and
Prince Edward, 48. They also have eight grandchildren:
Prince William, 29,
Prince Harry, 27,
Princess Beatrice, 23,
Princess Eugenie, 22,
Peter Phillips, 34,
Zara Phillips, 31,
Lady Louise Windsor, 8, and
James,
Viscount Severn, 4.
Edward visited his father in the hospital Wednesday, telling
reporters: "He's getting better. He's in good spirits. [The Queen]
misses him, of course."
On Tuesday, Queen Elizabeth II concluded her Diamond Jubilee
celebration with a pre-taped, two-minute televised address. "The events
that I have attended to mark my Diamond Jubilee have been a humbling
experience," she said. "It has touched me deeply to see so many
thousands of families, neighbors and friends celebrating together in
such a happy atmosphere."
"But Prince Philip and I want to take this opportunity to offer our
special thanks and appreciation to all those who have had a hand in
organizing these Jubilee celebrations," she said. "It has been a massive
challenge, and I am sure that everyone who has enjoyed these festive
occasions realizes how much work has been involved."
Her Highness added: "I hope that memories of all this year's happy
events will brighten our lives for many years to come. I will continue
to treasure and draw inspiration from the countless kindnesses shown to
me in this country and throughout the Commonwealth. Thank you all."
