Prince Charles says thrilled over father's return from hospital

- Britain's Prince Charles said on Tuesday he was thrilled that his father Prince Philip had returned to his Windsor Castle home after a month-long stay in hospital.

"Very good news, I'm thrilled about it," Charles said during a visit to a COVID-19 vaccination centre in north London.

"Oh yes, I've spoken to him - several times," he added.

Philip, the 99-year-old husband of Queen Elizabeth, left a London hospital on Tuesday after a four-week stay for treatment for an infection and to have a heart procedure. nL8N2LE34O
