The 99-year-old had been recovering at the private hospital after having heart surgery at St Bartholomew's Hospital.

He was first admitted to the hospital on February 16.

A royal source told CNN last month that his admission was not an emergency and was not related to Covid-19.

Philip is married to Queen Elizabeth II and both have received at least one dose of a Covid-19 vaccine.

Philip, who turns 100 in June, stepped back from public life in 2017 and has been taken to the hospital several times in recent years. In December 2019, he received hospital treatment for a pre-existing condition.

The Queen and her husband have spent most of the past year at Windsor Castle, outside London, having moved away from Buckingham Palace during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic in spring 2020.

In April 2020, the Duke of Edinburgh made a rare public statement, thanking key workers across the UK.

Philip was born in Corfu, Greece, in 1921 and has English, Russian, German/Prussian and Danish ancestry. He and Queen Elizabeth married in November 20, 1947.

After earning his Royal Air Force wings in 1953, Philip logged more than 5,900 hours in 59 different types of aircraft over the next 44 years.
