Prince Charles Thanks Hospital Workers Who Treated Prince Philip
Yesterday, Prince Charles made a visit to London’s St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, where he specifically asked to privately meet the healthcare workers who looked after his late father, Prince Philip.
"It meant an enormous amount to us that he came to visit and also that he met those involved in his father's care. We were just so honored to have treated his father and it was wonderful to see the Prince of Wales today," said Professor Charles Knight, chief executive of St. Bartholomew's said, according to People.
Prince Philip stayed at the private, specialized hospital in March while being treated for a “preexisting heart condition” and undergoing surgery. The Duke of Edinburgh died “peacefully” a few weeks later on April 9 at Windsor Castle. He was 99 years old.
Prince Charles’ visit happened to fall on International Nurses’ Day. While there, he also spent time with nurses who have been combatting the COVID-19 pandemic. People reports that the prince told the hospital workers, "I couldn't not stop to thank you. Well done, all of you. You're amazing.”
He asked one young nurse, Daisy Eden, if she likes her work. Eden responded, “You have the chance to be a light in a dark place for people. It's a privilege.”
The Prince recently mentioned the loss of his father in a video message for Muslims observing Ramadan. “This year so many families, like my own, will have an empty seat at their dinner table,” he said.
