Prince William, who visited a vaccination center in Norfolk, said that his grandfather and Queen Elizabeth II's husband, the Duke of Edinburgh, who was admitted to the hospital last week, feels fine and that doctors are looking after him well.
The details of his illness were not disclosed, however, an official statement from Buckingham Palace said that the Queen's wife was hospitalized for preventive purposes and this is not related to the coronavirus.
On Friday, Buckingham Palace also said that Prince Philip is likely to stay in the hospital for another week. On Saturday he was visited by his son, Prince Charles of Wales.

According to earlier confidants of the royal family, Prince Philip, who is due to turn 100 in June, independently arrived at a private London clinic named after King Edward VII for preventive procedures.
He did this at the insistence of the attending physician, since he had not felt well in the last days.
In January, Prince Philip and Elizabeth II received the age-appropriate vaccinations against coronavirus.
The royal couple, who celebrated their marriage in November 73, spent their last time in self-isolation at Windsor Castle, surrounded by a few servants.
His grandson Prince William spoke about the health of Prince Philip during a visit to the vaccination center in Norfolk
Prince William's grandfather was asked about the health of his grandfather during a visit to the Norfolk Vaccination Center, located near the Enmer Hall residence, where the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spend time with their children during a lockdown.
Recently, some high-ranking members of the royal family have returned to their official functions.
For example, last Thursday, the Queen conferred a knighthood on one of her assistants in a private ceremony in Windsor with respect for social distancing.
In December 2019, the Duke was admitted to the same hospital, also as a precautionary measure for the treatment of a “chronic illness”. Then he was discharged on the eve of Christmas.
In 2011, the Duke of Edinburgh was hospitalized with coronary insufficiency, in 2012 with a bladder infection, and in 2013 underwent diagnostic abdominal laparoscopy.
