Patients have included The Queen, Prince Philip, Camilla, Prince Charles and Kate Middleton over the years. In 2003, the Queen underwent a 45 minute operation at the King Edward VII Hospital in London to remove a torn cartilage in her right knee. The maternity ward, is part of St Mary's hospital which is an NHS hospital, and comes under the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. Occasionally, members of the royal family are treated at hospitals which offer treatment to both private and NHS patients. King Edward VII became the hospital's first patron in 1901 and it continues to be recognised by the royal family today.
