Prince Philip, the 99-year-old husband of Britain's Queen Elizabeth, is expected to stay in hospital for “observation and rest” until at least next week, according to media reports on Friday. The reports only cited an unnamed source. Prince Philip was hospitalised on Tuesday. At the time he said he was “feeling unwell.” Buckingham Palace says his health problems are not linked to the coronavirus. “Following consultation with his doctor, the Duke of Edinburgh is likely to remain in hospital for observation and rest over the weekend and into next week,” sources told the Press Association. “As we have said previously the doctor is acting with an abundance of caution. The duke remains in good spirits.” The palace had said earlier on Friday that he would remain in hospital for a few days. Philip's milestone birthday is on June 10. Meanwhile, Queen Elizabeth was continuing her official appointments during the week, including one in person at Windsor Palace, where she conferred her top aide Tony Johnstone-Burt with the title of knight commander of the Royal Victorian Order on Thursday.
