Prince Philip's physical condition has been the subject of many questions for several weeks.
But while we still do not know exactly what the husband of the Queen of England is suffering from, we now know that he had to undergo an operation related to a heart problem.
“The Duke of Edinburgh underwent successful surgery yesterday for pre-existing heart disease at Saint Bartholomew's Hospital.
His Royal Highness will remain in the hospital for several days to seek treatment, rest and recover, ”Buckingham Palace said in a statement relayed by
People
.
At first, it was learned that Prince Philip was being treated for an infection at Edward VII Hospital, but last Monday he was transferred to Saint Bartholomew, to officially "undergo tests and remain under observation" due to 'a pre-existing medical condition related to his heart.
In December 2011, the father of Prince Charles had indeed undergone an emergency operation to install a coronary stent and unblock a blocked artery.

If this new operation was a success, Buckingham Palace refused to give more information on Prince Philip's state of health.
The only member of the royal family to have spoken recently, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, was content on Wednesday to declare to the press that her stepfather was "a little better" but that he "was in pain by moments ”, concluding:“ We keep our fingers crossed ”.
The Queen of England, for her part, continues to fulfill her royal duty.
