Britain’s Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, was admitted overnight to a London hospital as a “precautionary measure”, Buckingham Palace said Wednesday.
The 99-year-old was taken to the private King Edward VII Hospital on Tuesday evening, the palace said, adding that it was “a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’s Doctor” after the prince felt unwell.
The palace called his admittance to London’s King Edward VII Hospital a precautionary measure and noted he is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and rest.
The Duke of Edinburgh, the oldest and longest-serving royal consort in British history, celebrated his 99th birthday in June without much of a fuss at Windsor Castle, where both he and the queen have been self-isolating since mid-March amid the coronavirus pandemic.
