The Duke of Edinburgh is “very well” in hospital where he is being looked after since being admitted last Friday; Prince Charles says of his ailing father when asked about it by member of the public Monday///CRIMSON TAZVINZWA
The duke’s planned admission on Friday to the private central London hospital, which has been treating members of the royal family for decades, was described as a “precautionary measure” by Buckingham Palace.
During a visit to flood-hit communities in South Yorkshire on Monday, Charles was asked about his father’s health by a reporter.
“He’s being looked after very well in hospital,” Charles replied.
“At the moment that’s all we know.”
During the visit, a woman in Fishlake asked Charles: “Sir, how is your father?”
He replied: “Alright. When you get to that age things don’t work so well.”
The Queen did not change her schedule as a result of her husband’s hospital stay.
The new mum also donned a new necklace with an ‘A,’ appearing to pay tribute to her son Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor who was born in May. The delicate jewellery looks to be by Jennifer Meyer – Meghan already owns several pieces by the US designer.
She was joined by her Northwestern university friends Lyndsay Roth and Genevieve Hillis to watch the action from court one.
Serena also attended Meghan and Harry’s wedding and organised her baby shower in New York earlier this year.
The tennis star was widely tipped to be Archie’s godmother, but Buckingham Palace said his godparents “in keeping with their wishes, will remain private.”

It’s believed that none of Harry and Meghan’s high profile friends have been chosen. The service will take place in a Private Chapel at Windsor Castle on Saturday 6 July.
ITV’s Royal Editor Chris Ship tweeted: “The godparents, I’m told are not public figures or celebrities, but private citizens. And therefore both they, and Harry and Meghan, don’t wish their names to be made public.”

Meghan is currently on maternity leave from official royal duties, but made her first public appearance after the birth for Trooping the Colour to mark the Queen’s official birthday in June.
She also joined her husband Harry at the New York Yankees versus Boston Red Sox baseball game last Saturday, where they received a personalised shirt for Archie.
