Prince Philip is in the hospital in London, PEOPLE has confirmed.

The Duke of Edinburgh, 99, was taken to King Edward VII hospital in London on Tuesday evening on the advice of his doctor after “feeling unwell,” Buckingham Palace says in a statement.

He left Windsor Castle — where he has been staying with his wife, Queen Elizabeth, since November amid the latest COVID-19 lockdown in the U.K. — late on Tuesday and is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days.

“His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to the King Edward VII Hospital in London, on Tuesday evening,” the statement said.

“The Duke’s admission is a precautionary measure, on the advice of His Royal Highness’s Doctor, after feeling unwell,” the statement continues. “The Duke is expected to remain in hospital for a few days of observation and rest.”

Palace sources stress that this was not an emergency admission and that Philip walked into the hospital unaided.

He had been feeling unwell and the doctor was called. His hospital stay is expected to be “purely precautionary,” a source adds. The illness is not COVID-19-related.

Both the Queen, who remains at Windsor Castle, and Prince Philip received the first dose of the coronavirus vaccine in early January.

Philip, who will turn 100 in June, has been plagued by health issues in recent years. He was hospitalized in December 2019 in relation to a “pre-existing condition,” according to the palace at the time. Read more from People.
