Prince Phillips was staying with the Queen in a healthy place away from the royal palace due to the Corona epidemic and had also been vaccinated against Corona, but on February 17 he drove himself to the hospital for a routine check-up.
Edward King's physicians had advised Prince Phillips to be hospitalized with caution, but his condition worsened after he was admitted to the hospital, after which he was transferred to St. Bartholomew's Hospital on March 1.
A spokesman for the royal family has denied rumors that Prince Phillips has been hospitalized due to coronary heart disease, saying Prince Phillips is suffering from heart and other complications due to old age.
It should be noted that Prince Phillips and the Queen of Britain were married in 1947, while Prince Phillips retired from royal duties in 2017 due to weakness. He was the patron, member and president of more than 780 organizations in the country.
