Prince Philip, the 91-year-old husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, leaves hospital in Scotland on Monday after a five-night stay during which he had treatment for a bladder infection.

Philip shook hands and thanked staff at Aberdeen Royal Infirmary before climbing into a car with royal aides.

It was the third time in eight months that Philip had been in hospital and the second time he had treatment for a bladder infection.

The previous occasion was in June during celebrations to mark Elizabeth's 60 years on the throne, after the royal couple had watched a 1,000-boat flotilla on the River Thames from a royal barge, braving chilly, rainy weather.
