A royal source told ABC News that Prince Philip’s hospitalization was not an emergency admission and he walked into the hospital unaided. It was also noted that the illness is not COVID-19 related and the stay in hospital is “purely precautionary.”
“The Duke’s admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’s Doctor, after feeling unwell,” the palace said in a statement. “The Duke is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest.”
“There can be no doubt that the queen and the family will be concerned but the palace is saying that this is a precautionary measure and it is not the first time he has been hospitalized in recent years in a similar way,” said ABC News royal contributor Victoria Murphy.
Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth remains at Windsor Castle, where she has been staying with her husband for most of the coronavirus pandemic.
