There are new reports that indicate Prince Philip has been admitted to a local hospital in London for a pre-existing condition. And while there are many royal fans from all over the world wondering what might be going on, sources from Buckingham Palace want to assure everyone that all is fine. In fact, reports say that Queen Elizabeth’s partner was not taken to the hospital, but rather walked in himself. Here’s what you need to know.
Prince Philip Admitted To Local Hospital For Pre-Existing Condition
While the palace is offering very few details, they want to assure everyone that there is no need for any alarms, despite the fact that Prince Philip is now 98-years-old. The palace released a statement saying that Prince Philip went to the hospital to get treatment on an unknown pre-existing condition before the holidays. In fact, Her Majesty is not even at the hospital with him, as she is now at her Sandringham Estate in preparation for the Christmas holiday next week. She was photographed stepping off the royal train at King’s Lynn railway station.
“The Duke of Edinburgh traveled from Norfolk this morning to the King Edward VII Hospital in London for observation and treatment in relation to a pre-existing condition. The admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’ Doctor,” the statement said.
