Prince Philip Admitted to Hospital

Prince Philip has been admitted to King Edward VII’s Hospital in London with a chest infection. Buckingham Palace said Prince Philip, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, was undergoing assessment. No other details on the 86-year-old’s condition were available.

Prince Philip’s engagements for this week have been cancelled. He is still set to go with his wife, Queen Elizabeth, on a visit to Devon and Cornwall next week.

 

The Prince was born in 1921 to the Greek Royal family but later smuggled out of the country after his uncle, King Constantine I, abdicated his throne. He married Queen Elizabeth in 1947.
