Prince Philip Has Been Released From the Hospital After Receiving Treatment For an Infection

This post has been updated with new information.

Prince Philip has been released from the hospital after receiving treatment for an infection related to a pre-existing condition, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace confirms. Prince Charles added that his father was "getting better" during an appearance at a Finsbury Park mosque in London and officials said he was in "good spirits" during his two-night stay in the hospital.

Prince Philip announced in May that he is retiring from his public role, which means he will make no more official public appearances after the Summer. This was set to be one of his last busy weeks in an official capacity. The duke was in attendance at his wife's side at the Trooping the Colour ceremony in honor of her birthday on Saturday, and made an appearance at Royal Ascot earlier this week. It's likely he was due to attend again throughout the week, but that job will no doubt be handed over to the younger generation of royals, with William and Kate taking the lead.

While Prince Philip recovers, the Queen is still hard at work, with her son Charles by her side. On Tuesday, she was at the Houses of Parliament to deliver the Queen's Speech, in which she read out the UK government's plans for the year ahead (including many details on Brexit). Later, she is due to return to Royal Ascot for another day of racing with members of the royal family.
