Prince Philip, 99, admitted to hospital after 'feeling unwell'

PRINCE PHILIP has been taken to hospital after reportedly feeling unwell, Buckingham Palace has confirmed.

It's understood that his condition has nothing to do with Covid-19.

The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to King Edward VII Hospital in London yesterday evening.

In a brief statement, Buckingham Palace said: "His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in London, on Tuesday evening.

"The Duke's admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness's Doctor, after feeling unwell.

"The Duke is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest."

Sources have confirmed that Philip's hospitalisation is "not an emergency admission".

It's understood that the Duke was taken from Windsor Castle to hospital in a car, not an ambulance, and walked unaided through the hospital doors.

The sources added Prince Philip had been feeling unwell "for a short period" and set the record straight saying the illness is not related to Covid-19.

His wife the Queen remains at Windsor Castle.
