The Duke of Edinburgh has left hospital after his hip replacement operation.
Prince Philip, 96, was spotted leaving the King Edward VII in central London on Friday after spending 11 days in hospital.
The duke waved to onlookers as he was driven away in a Range Rover.
He will now spend time recuperating privately.
Philip underwent the planned surgery last Wednesday to replace his joint with a prosthetic implant.
Buckingham Palace said he will continue his recovery at Windsor, adding: "His Royal Highness would like to convey his appreciation for the messages of good wishes he has received."
On Thursday his daughter, the Princess Royal, visited her father and reported that he was “on good form” following the surgery.
Princess Anne spent just under an hour with the duke at the private hospital.
The Queen also gave an update, telling a well-wisher in Windsor "he said he's getting on very well" when asked about Philip's recovery.
For about a month before the operation the duke had complained about trouble with the joint but medical experts have said a few weeks after a hip replacement patients are usually back to their normal lifestyle, free from pain.
