Prince Philip has been transferred to another hospital for further treatment.
Buckingham Palace confirmed that the Duke of Edinburgh has been transferred to St Bartholomew’s Hospital, in London, for treatment for an infection and testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition.
The 99-year-old Duke had spent 14 nights in the King Edward VII Hospital in central London after falling unwell at Windsor Castle.
Buckingham Palace said: “The Duke of Edinburgh was today transferred from King Edward VII’s Hospital to St Bartholomew’s Hospital where doctors will continue to treat him for an infection, as well as undertake testing and observation for a pre-existing heart condition.
“The Duke remains comfortable and is responding to treatment but is expected to remain in hospital until at least the end of the week.”
The Duke’s infection is still not coronavirus -related, the Palace staff have confirmed.
