Prince Philip spends Christmas in hospital

PRESS TRUST OF INDIA

London, Dec 25: British Queen's husband Prince Philip who is still in hospital recovering from a heart ailment today missed the Royal Christmas celebrations for the first time.
 The Royal Family attended the Christmas Day service at a church on their Sandringham estate without the 90-year-old Duke of Edinburgh.
 Afterwards, the royals - including, for the first time, the Duchess of Cambridge, Catherine - greeted well-wishers.
 Queen Elizabeth II's husband had a coronary stent fitted on Friday after suffering chest pains.
 The Rev Jonathan Riviere prayed for him during the service. Family members are due to visit the duke after lunch, the BBC reported.
 Philip, the longest serving royal consort in British history and an outspoken pillar of the House of Windsor, was airlifted to hospital from Sandringham in eastern England on Friday suffering from chest pains.
 The 85-year-old queen and her four children, including the heir to the throne Prince Charles, all visited Philip in hospital yesterday in an unusual sign of concern from the usually stoic British royals.
