where he and Queen Elizabeth II were resting after the grueling four-hour Thames river
pageant last Sunday.
The prince was immediately rushed to the King Edward VII
Hospital due bladder infection. He will be confined “for a few days,” and was said to very disappointed because was not able to join the Diamond Jubilee concert, as well
as today’s engagements.
The duke also suffered bladder infection in February 2002
and underwent minor heart surgery last Christmas. He will celebrate his 91st
birthday this Sunday.
