Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, gave an update on her father-in-law, Prince Philip, as the royal enters his third week of hospitalization for treatment of an infection.
Camilla said while visiting the Community Vaccination Centre on Wednesday that the 99-year-old Duke of Edinburgh is “slightly improving,” according to reporter Chris Ship of ITV News.
Buckingham Palace revealed for the first time last week that Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth, was battling an infection.
The palace later issued another statement saying Philip was being transferred to a second hospital and also was being evaluated for a preexisting heart condition. Neither statement elaborated on the ailments.
Mishaps can never be ruled out as authorities across the globe press ahead with the largest vaccination drive in the history of mankind. The news about a Hong Kong investigation into the death of a chronically ill man following a Sinovac Covid-19 jab has inevitably cast a shadow over the ongoing exercise. But the incident is more a reminder of the need for recipients to weigh carefully the risks and their health conditions than it is a dent in.
