The Duke of Edinburgh has left hospital in central London after a month under the care of medical staff.

Prince Philip, 99, was admitted to King Edward VII’s hospital in Marylebone on 16 February after feeling unwell.

He later underwent a successful procedure for a pre-existing heart condition at another London hospital – St Bartholomew’s.

The 28-night stay was the duke’s longest-ever in hospital.

The exact reason for his initial admission was not disclosed, but Buckingham Palace said at the time it was not related to coronavirus.

Prince Philip and the Queen, 94, have spent the most-recent lockdown in England living at Windsor Castle with a small group of household staff, nicknamed HMS Bubble.

The couple, who have been married for 73 years, received their first Covid-19 jabs in January.

The duke was visited at King Edward VII’s on 20 February by his son the Prince of Wales.
