The Prince of Wales has personally thanked the medical staff who treated the Duke of Edinburgh for a heart condition.
Prince Charles visits staff who cared for Prince Philip at St Bart’s hospital Robert Jobson
Prince Charles today thanked staff who cared for his late father Prince Philip at St Barts Hospital just weeks before his death.
Charles spoke to them personally during a visit to the City of London hospital today when he got the chance to meet them privately.
He specifically asked to meet some of the team who cared for the late Duke of Edinburgh when he was transferred for heart surgery in March.
Royal officials declined to say who, saying the hospital wanted to protect their identities, but confirmed the group included a nurse, a consultant and a therapist.

St Bartholomew’s is home to Barts Heart Centre, Europe’s largest specialised cardiovascular service, and in March a successful procedure was performed on Philip for a pre-existing heart condition.
