Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth’s 99-year-old husband, was admitted to hospital Tuesday night as a precautionary measure for an ailment that is not related to Covid.
“The Duke’s admission is a precautionary measure, on the recommendation of His Royal Highness physician, after feeling unwell. The Duke is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest,” the statement said.
The prince had been ill for a short period and entered the hospital without help, a royal source said. He does not have a Covid-19-related illness, the source added.
Queen Elizabeth and the Prince have stayed at Windsor Castle, west of London, during the British coronavirus pandemic.
The queen remains in Windsor, the source said.
The prince, who resigned from his official commitments in August 2017, was previously admitted to the hospital in late 2019.
