CAMBRIDGESHIRE, ENGLAND (BNO NEWS) -- Britain's Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, was released from a hospital in eastern England on Tuesday morning, the royal palace said, days after undergoing heart surgery.

Buckingham Palace said Prince Philip, 90, had been discharged from Papworth Hospital in Cambridgeshire on Tuesday morning. "He is very much looking forward to rejoining his family and is returning to Sandringham by car," the palace said in a statement, referring to the family's country estate in Norfolk.

Philip was taken to Papworth Hospital on Friday evening after experiencing chest pains, but few details have been released. Following tests, Philip was found to have a blocked coronary artery and underwent a 'minimally invasive' procedure of coronary stenting, according to royal officials.

Queen Elizabeth II and three of her children, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and Princess Anne, visited the hospital for about 45 minutes on late Saturday morning. "Prince Philip was in good spirits," the palace said at the time. Prince Charles and his wife Camilla later arrived by car at the hospital.

Philip is known to be active and robust for his age, and the health scare was the most serious one yet for the Queen's husband. He recently accompanied the Queen on a 10-day tour of Australia.

I wonder if he'll soon get his wish of being reincarnated as a deadly virus to wipe out the 'useless eaters'.

Hmmm...I've seen quite a few of the Sex Pistols' 'God Save The Queen' t-shirts here.

Anyway, I am merely repaeating a wish he actually stated in a book himself.
