The Duke of Edinburgh admitted to hospital with bladder infection

Published

HRH The Duke of Edinburgh was taken to King Edward VII Hospital in London this afternoon, from Windsor Castle, as a precautionary measure after developing a bladder infection, which is being assessed and treated.

Prince Philip will remain in hospital under observation for a few days.

He is, understandably, disappointed about missing this evening’s Diamond Jubilee Concert and tomorrow’s engagements.
