Prince Philip, 99, was last night taken to the private King Edward VII Hospital in Marylebone, London, as a 'precautionary measure' and is expected to remain there for a few days. Police officers were this afternoon standing guard outside the private central London hospital where Philip is being treated. He spent four nights at King Edward Hospital in December 2019, where he was treated for a 'pre-existing condition' and was later discharged on Christmas Eve. In 2017 Buckingham Palace announced Philip would be retiring from public life, meaning he no longer carries out royal duties.
