Prince Philipis enjoying the waning days of summer in Scotland.
The 97-year-old royal was seen driving himself around theBalmoral estatein the Highlands, where he is staying withQueen Elizabeth, 92, and other members of the royal family.
Since bowing out of public duties last year — and ahip replacement operationthat he underwent in April — Philip has largely been living quietly at Wood Farm house on the Sandringham estate and at Windsor Castle. But he headed to Balmoral soon after the Queen moved in on August 6.
Since then, he is said to have been watching some hunting and fishing on the estate. Earlier this week, his drive in a Land Rover took him up to the hills above Loch Muick, where he was spotted stopping to open a gate and chatting to a cyclist on a country lane.
