UK queen’s husband Prince Philip, 91, in hospital

Britain’s 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh, husband of Queen Elizabeth, was taken to hospital in Scotland today as a «precautionary measure», Buckingham Palace said.

«He was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary as a precautionary measure,» a Palace spokeswoman said. «We don’t have any further details and are waiting for the Duke to be medically assessed.»

Two months ago, Prince Philip was taken to hospital with a bladder infection, overshadowing four days of celebrations for the queen’s 60th year on the British throne.

In December last year, Philip had an operation to clear a blocked heart artery and spent Christmas in hospital.
