The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to hospital on Tuesday evening "as a precautionary measure" after feeling unwell, Buckingham Palace has said.

Prince Philip, 99, was taken to the King Edward VII Hospital in London, the statement added.

A palace source told the BBC that he travelled by car to the hospital, where he was admitted as a precaution on his doctor's advice.

The sourced added that the duke is "in good spirits".

He is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest.

The source added that Prince Philip had been feeling unwell for a few days, but that it was not related to coronavirus.

Last month, the Palace announced that Prince Philip and the Queen had received Covid-19 vaccinations from a household doctor at Windsor Castle.

The Queen, 94, remains at Windsor.

In December 2019, the duke spent four nights at King Edward VII Hospital, where he was admitted as a "precautionary measure" and treatment for a "pre-existing condition".

The treatment he has received for various health conditions over the years include being treated for a blocked coronary artery in 2011, a bladder infection in 2012 and exploratory surgery on his abdomen in June 2013.
