The Duke of Edinburgh has been seen as the stability of the British Monarch for ages. He has served the British Royal Navy, however, left his active military career in 1952, and in 1957 he was bestowed upon the title, Prince.

In a statement from Buckingham Palace it’s been mentioned, “The Duke of Edinburgh traveled from Norfolk this morning to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for observation and treatment. The admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’ Doctor.”

Before being admitted to the hospital, Prince Philip was staying at the royal Sandringham estate in Norfolk, where the Royal family gathers for their Christmas celebration. The Queen has also arrived at the estate on Friday morning, although, whether the Prince would be released during the festivities or not, remains unanswered.
