Queen Elizabeth's 90-year-old husband left hospital on Tuesday (December 27) with a congenial wave after he underwent successful surgery to clear a blocked artery.
Prince Philip missed the royal family's celebrations at its rural Sandringham estate in eastern England after being rushed to hospital last Friday (December 23).
His grandchildren, including Prince William and Prince Harry, visited the Papworth hospital near Cambridge to wish their grandfather well after Christmas lunch on Sunday
(December 25).
The Queen also visited her husband, along with their four children, on Christmas Eve, a day after Philip was rushed to hospital suffering from chest pains.
Despite his age, Philip has been in generally good health this year, seeing through a hectic schedule, which included the wedding of William and Catherine Middleton, a jaunt to Australia and a visit from US President Barack Obama.
