London: Prince Philip, the husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, was admitted to hospital on Friday with a chest infection, Buckingham Palace said.
The 86-year-old prince, also known as the Duke of Edinburgh, was taken to King Edward VII's Hospital in London for assessment, the palace said, and all of his weekend engagements have been canceled. No further details were available.
The Prince was seen in public last week during French President Nicolas Sarkozy's state visit to the UK. He was due to join the Queen on a royal visit to Devon and Cornwall in southwestern England next week.
He has been married to the Queen since 1947.
