The Duke of Edinburgh is being treated for an infection and is not expected to leave hospital for several days, Buckingham Palace has said.

Prince Philip, 99, was admitted to the King Edward VII's Hospital in London last Tuesday as a precaution after feeling unwell.

The reason for his admission was not initially given but the palace has now said he has an infection.

He is "comfortable and responding to treatment", a short statement said.

Both the duke and the Queen, 94, received Covid-19 vaccinations last month.

A palace source previously said that the duke, who turns 100 in June, had walked into the hospital in Marylebone unaided.
