Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, 91, hospitalized

Prince Philip, the husband of Queen Elizabeth II, has been taken to a Scottish hospital as “a precautionary measure,” Buckingham Palace says.

The 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary by car, the palace confirmed with NBC News.

According to a palace statement, he has had a recurrence of a bladder infection that led to his hospitalization for five days in June during the jubilee celebrations marking the queen’s 60th year on the throne.

Philip is likely to remain in the hospital for the next few days, according to the palace statement.
The royal couple had been staying at their castle in Balmoral, Scotland, the palace told NBC.
