Prince Philip makes his first public appearance since hip operation
Prince Philip has been seen for the first time since he undergoing planned hip surgery on April 4.
According to Town & Country, the 96-year-old was photographed in a car at the 75th annual Royal Windsor Horse Show.
The Royal Windsor Horse Show, which is also famed as the UK's largest outdoor horse show, took place on the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The Duke of Edinburgh was seen chatting to the Queen at the event on Friday while she was just outside the vehicle. She wore her signature floral headscarf as she spoke to her husband of over 70 years at the royal residence.
Oh, and another exciting event is set to take place on the grounds of Windsor Castle next week – the royal wedding!
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to tie the knot at St George's Chapel, and Philip's appearance yesterday has sparked hopes that he is in good enough health to attend the ceremony.
Regarding whether Philip will be able to attend, a spokesperson for Kensington Palace told the Mirror earlier this month, 'We very much hope so', but said they wouldn't know for sure until 'closer to the time'.
Health wise, the father-of-four has reportedly been 'in good spirits', according to a statement from Buckingham Palace.
The statement, which was issued while he was still in hospital, also said that the Prince is 'progressing satisfactorily at this early stage', the Guardian reported. He was discharged after 11 days in hospital.
We hope that this public appearance means Prince Philip is well enough to attend his grandson's wedding. And if he can't, well, he's in good company – Prince Louis won't be witnessing his uncle's nuptials.
