Prince Philip has spent a second night in hospital - this is his current condition

Prince Philip has spent a second night in hospital after becoming unwell earlier this week.

The Duke of Edinburgh, 99, was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in central London on the evening of Tuesday 16 February, as a precaution after falling ill.

The Duke is said to be in “good spirits” and is expected to remain at the hospital for a few days for both observation and rest.

It is understood that the duke had been feeling unwell for a short period before the doctor was called. He was not an emergency admission and travelled to the hospital by car.
