Official Communiqué from Buckingham Palace

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.
