Britain’s Prince Philip Admitted To Hospital With Infection

He also suffered a serious health scare over Christmas 2011, which he spent in the hospital for treatment for a blocked coronary artery.

He underwent a “minimally invasive procedure’’ of coronary stenting to unblock it, which was declared a success and was discharged four days later.

The heart operation caused courtiers to carry out a radical rethink of the couple’s working partnership from the beginning of 2012 with the Duke carrying out just one public engagement in January and one in February, the anniversary of his wife’s accession.

Later the same year, during the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, he was admitted to hospital with a bladder infection, spending five days on a ward and missing the final part of the jubilee festivities.

In 2016, however, he carried out official meetings and visits on 110 days of the year, remaining patron or president of around 800 organizations and taking an active interest in his Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme.

At the time of his 90th birthday, he had declared that he intended to cut back on his public duties but remained a stalwart presence at a range of engagements throughout Britain.
