Queen Elizabeth II and her children visited her husband, Prince Philip, in hospital Saturday, where he is recovering from a heart operation. Philip, 90, was taken to the hospital from the queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk late Friday after experiencing chest pains. He had a coronary stent put in after tests found a blocked artery was to blame, though the palace has refused to say if he suffered a heart attack. Elizabeth was flown in by helicopter and arrived at Papworth Hospital, some 113 km from London, shortly after 11 a.m. with three of her children — Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Prince Andrew. The palace said Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla, arrived at the hospital 45 minutes later by car and that no further family visits are expected. Philip is “in good spirits but he is eager to leave,” Buckingham Palace said. After spending 45 minutes with Philip, the royals traveled back to Sandringham by helicopter, it added.
