Prince Philip has been admitted to hospital, Buckingham Palace has said.

The palace said Philip, 99, went into hospital on the advice of his doctor on Tuesday evening.

The palace explained in a note: "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."

Philip is in the King Edward VII Hospital in London and is said to be in "good spirits".

Prince Philip has been living in Windsor Castle for several months, following a brief stay in his usual home at Wood Farm in Sandringham last summer.

He retired from royal duties in 2017 at the age of 95, and moved to Norfolk where he keeps up with his patronages and paints.

...because of his age and obviously who he is, I think he’ll always have close observation if he’s feeling unwell...so any medical care can be applied quickly if needed...

Must be great to be able to go into hospital for proper treatment when you feel a bit ill tbh. Meanwhile, the plebs are told that if chest infection starts making you cough up bright green stuff, then go to hospital, if not, then suffer at home as the doctors want nowt to do with it

I hope hes ok. But this kind of thing angers me a bit sometimes.

Its a private hospital.

Pay the money and you can get treatment also.

That's a big part of how you get to live to be 99, I would imagine.

I wonder if its the stress of the unnecessary interview across the pond?

I hope the old trooper will be fine, I can't imagine him not being around (or the Queen).
Get well soon sir.
